Yogis, Jesus, and The Buddha on How to Feel Happy

A talk from Swami Nityananda presented in HD audio and video

Dear Feel Love Now Community,

If you’ve been chasing peace but still feel unsettled, this teaching offers a gentle reminder: true happiness begins within.

Spiritual masters from many traditions agree—when we’re fully present and willing to purify our heart and mind, peace naturally arises.

It’s not about fixing everything outside us, but about returning to the stillness inside. Fulfillment lives in this moment, not in the next achievement or solution.

Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:

“What the teachers say—Jesus says this, the yogic teachings say this, the Buddha says this, the one who is awake says this—is that it is only if I am living in the present moment, only if I am purifying my heart and purifying my mind, that I will feel happy; that I will feel fulfilled; that I will feel lastingly satisfied.

”So if I want to feel happy, that means my task is to be present in this moment and to purify my heart and to purify my mind.”

We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.
