Happiness Vs Joy (poem)

I was waiting for my turn to get a hug from Amma. The lady sitting next to me shared, that she is not meditating as much as she should be, for she is too busy.

I answered, "You are doing what you are doing, for its giving you happiness. Keep doing it, without feeling guilty, till you begin finding joy in meditation."

And the man overhearing our conversation was smilingly nodding, as if affirming, "Been there, done that."

***

I am imperfect,
yet, am complete within.

I seeked happiness,
unaware, joy was within.
