The Seven Steps to Happiness

by Yogi Bhajan

There are seven steps to happiness. You can never get happiness on the sixth step or on the first.

• 1. COMMITMENT - The first step is commitment. You are meant to commit. That’s a human life. In every life you have to commit. You are meant to commit, that’s why the word is commitment.

• 2. CHARACTER - Commitment will give you character. What is character ? When all your characteristics are under your control. All facets, flaws and facts are under your control. When you’re dealings are totally balanced, that’s Character. Yin and Yang meet there.

• 3. DIGNITY - Character will give you dignity. People start trusting you, liking you, respecting you.

• 4.DIVINITY - Dignity will give you divinity. What is Divinity? When people have no duality about you. They straight away trust you, knowing or not knowing all. They don’t have any fear about you.

• 5. GRACE - Divinity then giving you Grace. There’s no interference, there’s no gap between two people, that’s Grace. You totally trust, raw naked, no secrets, no hidden agenda.

• 6. That gives you the POWER to SACRIFICE. You can stand any pain for that person.That SACRIFICE gives you.......

• 7. HAPPINESS.
