You are concerned with your own happiness and I am telling you that there is no such thing. Happiness is never your own, it is where the ‘I’ is not.

Happiness is not found in self contemplation; it is perceived only when it is reflected from another.

Happiness is not easy to find. It's very difficult to find it in yourself — and impossible to find anywhere else.

happiness may come if not sought, but if looked for will never be seen;

If you take your happiness and put it in someone’s hands, sooner or later, she is going to break it. If you give your happiness to someone else, she can always take it away. Then if happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love, you are responsible for your happiness.

Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.

It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you can make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost....

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.

What good is it to seek our happiness in the opinion of others if we cannot find it in ourselves?

It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.

Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.

Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.
