[Jitendra Hydonus]

I find myself unusually happy today. After spending most of last nite following the elections and meditating. I see that is the result of an important principle. That is this; It is not outer events, situations or people that give us happiness because these things can be taken away and circumstances can be assured to change. Rather happiness is dependent on our attitude and the inner results of regular deep meditation. I could have 'things' turn out in my favor and still feel empty inside. Happiness is the result of the joy that wells up in you from meditation and practicing the presence.
