To be happy means a drastic change in your way of life, an abrupt change - because there is no time to lose. A sudden change - a sudden clash 0f thunder - a discontinuity with the past. You die to the old and you start afresh. You have to drop all those patterns that have been forced on you, and you have to find your own inner flame. You have not yet taken charge of your life. It is very easy to follow your parents, your teachers, the society. It is very easy to be obedient. To be rebellious, to be on your own, is very difficult. But growth comes the hard way.
