Dear Sravna,

I do not strive to be happy or sad but I accept that both happiness and sorrow are experiences we face.

I am calling both happiness and sorrow "experiences" and both can be intrinsic and extrinsic and inevitable in existence.

Peace too is an experience and just as every experience everything is subject to change...finally one just has to surrender.

I am starting to feel that Advaita could be a source of depression!LOL

It does make sense at a intellectual level but at a human level at times it doesnt confer some amount of "surrender feeling" that is offered by Dualistic Ideology.

Life is much easier and simple if one could surrender and stop analyzing everything in life to a detail that finally leads to nothing.

I am not saying I have ditched analysis..I am still very much a logician at intellectual level but at the level of my heart...I have stopped analyzing and surrender would be the best experience.

So believe me Sravna...its best we leave analyzing for the intellect but let it not overrule our heart.
