In this short ‘story’, Paul Rushton explores what our quest for the happy ending might teach us about our selves, and shares his own learnings on happiness – how, so often, we set ourself up to fall or fail. He explains that bliss, or ‘ananda’ is our natural state and our natural birthright. By bringing our attention to the things that distract us from this ‘bliss’ and happiness, we begin to see how we are fabricating obstacles to this natural, gentle path. By celebrating Sattva – the truth of life, and truthful, conscious living – we remind ourselves that we are here, alive, and can thrive without any extra ‘stuff’. 

Paul and Eminé mention one of their favourite books in this episode – Spiritual Compass, by the wonderful Satish Kumar – which also guides us through the subject of ‘Sattva’... Satish sent us a copy of his book, with a beautiful note within, having read our own book, Sattva. It’s a book we return to often, and read with open hearts & pure acceptance. We recommend all of wonderful Satish Kumar’s books – and with a smile, also nod to Paul’s words in this episode – reminding all that while these books and gifts are wonderful, kind and joyous, ultimately, we do not NEED them. All that we need, we have within. These, then – as in this simplest of episodes – is just a reminder of those things we already know. May we forget it less and less, until, we never forget again.
