Unconditional existence without any reciprocity is a true state of happiness. This level of being is not affected by any external circumstances or situations. It is a stable and steady condition, which can be achieved by inner practice and persistence. It is a pure form of being—totally loving and peaceful. Harmony and inner confidence are experienced within and are not, therefore, dependent on the outside world.

Happiness in its purest form is just another expression for sympathy and empathy in their deepest meaning. This means that happiness in its fundamental form is not reflected to the subject itself; it is shared and experienced together with existence and with other beings.

Something that is conditional to circumstances or specific to subjects has nothing to do with happiness. It is a desire or selfish act in disguise. Lasting happiness is omnipotent without an object, a time, or a place. It's eternal and ubiquitous— within our reach at every moment.
