For happiness let's connect ourselves with our "always happy self"
Sath-chit-ananda
Happiness is a state of mind when you are detached from your actions and in-actions; possessions and dis-possessions; states and non-states; realities and illusions. Like a flower of lotus you are slightly above what is happening (and not happening) in this world. Just being in the present moment becomes the reason for your living.
A Sun just exists a Sun. Giving heat and light is its natural way of being a Sun. Similarly giving warmth and light is a Moon's natural way of being a Moon. So are the flowers, trees and rivers. And so are the things in the universe. They all just BE what they truly are.
This doesn't mean that action is not important. This actually means that action is a natural way of expressing your beingness. We human beings just have to be ourselves. We don't have to be doctors, engineers, officers, ministers, professionals. Just being our true selves is living. All the unhappiness results when we force ourselves into doing things which are not an expression of our true state of mind. Coming back to our true state of mind is happiness...Sat(True), Chit(State of Mind), Anand(Happiness) is all about regaining ourselves.
PS: Once a great man was asked,"What should a person do to be of service to others?"
The great man replied, "Just be happy. Don't do things for happiness. Do things happily."
