The Search For Happiness And A Perfect Relationship

Throughout history, human beings have desired and searched for two things, *
happiness* and a *perfect relationship*.   There is an old truth, "You
cannot search for what, you have not already had or known." In other words,
our search is motivated by a deep subconscious memory of the original,
perfect and eternal relationship with our Friend, Guide and Parent, the One
remembered as God, Allah, Ishwar, Jehovah, etc.   It is only when our
relationship with this Being is restored that we can experience true
happiness or bliss.   *Bliss is the deepest spiritual happiness we can
experience.*  It is experienced only when we are free of all attachment,
when we no longer misidentify with anything physical and when our inner
mental state is not dependent on anything or anyone.

At its highest level, our relationship with God is *pure* and *non-dependent
*, and therefore *blissful*.  * Deep within the soul, there is a memory of
the bliss of this perfect union and it is the deepest motivation in our
search for the perfect relationship, for the perfect happiness.*   However,
instead of seeking at the level of spirit, we seek at the level of mind
(personality) and body.   We search in those around us for the perfect
partner - our soul mate. It is not incorrect to have worldly relationships,
but there needs to be a deep realization inside each one of us that our
true soul mate, is the One with whom we can have an ever-lasting, eternal
relationship, the One with whom we have the deepest eternal bond (over a
period of many births), the One from whom we will experience everlasting,
eternal, unconditional attainments
