How to stay happy

Regardless of religion, gender, social or financial status, every one of us wants to be happy and it is this common need that binds us together. All our endeavors are geared towards finding happiness and alleviating pain. Although finding happiness is one of the prime aim of our lives, spiritual research has shown that on an average we are happy only 30% of the time, whilst the rest 40% we are unhappy. The remaining 30% we experience a neutral state devoid of happiness or unhappiness. Unknown to most of us who seek happiness outwardly, true and everlasting happiness lies within us. God Principle of soul (ātmā) is within each one of us. The soul is the God within us and one of the qualities of God, is perpetual Bliss (Ānand). Bliss is the happiness of the highest order and is not dependent on any external stimulus. In the course of our spiritual progress we find that perpetual happiness or Bliss. The quality and quantity as well as the duration of the experience of the Bliss are directly proportional to the stage of our spiritual evolution. By starting spiritual practice and making consistent efforts to increase it; we are able to find Bliss continually.

The inevitable

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things. "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time". Mark Twain Shoot location: Awoko, Ogun State, Nigeria Photo credit: @official_focuslenx Facebook Page: focuslenx Twitter: focuslenx

"I am a proud music maker..."- Olugbade

Olugbade Okunade aka GP Saxy is the brain behind the famous Alárìíyá Band. In this interview with Michael Ojuroye, he speaks on his musical aspirations. Tell us how you started the Alárìíyá band. Alárìíyá Band was formed in Melbourne, Australia in June 2014, which makes it 3years now. I am the only Nigerian in the band with 6 great musicians from other parts of the world.
