Best-selling author Daniel Parmeggiani explores the connection between harmony and happiness and asks, “What is harmony and how can we find it in our lives?”

My last few blog posts have examined the universal need for happiness. But what exactly causes this elusive state of mind that we all long for? The answer is harmony, and in today’s post, we’ll try to figure out just what harmony is and why it equals happiness.

Harmony is when all parts of a whole are in sync, in balance, and working together towards a common, beneficial goal. It is a condition where nothing is wrong or missing, and everything is just as it should be. Be it in music, nature, or the movements of the planets, when this harmonious state exists, the result is pleasure, happiness, love, and peace. When disharmony is present instead, the automatic result is pain and suffering.

When we look at the physical body, we can easily see this at work. When we feel physical pain, it is always because the body perceives that something is wrong or missing. Maybe it needs vitamins, nutrients, or rest. Perhaps it senses some sort of injury or disease. In any case, pain signals the presence of disharmony.

Now imagine what it would feel like to have absolutely no physical pain. Visualize a state where you feel no aches, pains, discomforts, or fatigue whatsoever. You would also have endless energy and stamina. Such an exhilarating feeling represents a state of complete physical harmony, a state where all the cells are healthy, working well in unison, and nothing is perceived by the body as wrong or lacking.

Similarly, all psychological and spiritual pain results from believing that, in one way or another, there are things wrong or lacking in ourselves or in our lives. It’s really very simple:

We suffer when we perceive ourselves as flawed, incomplete and unworthy beings.

So what would happen if we removed these negative beliefs about ourselves? How would we feel if we stopped believing that there was something inherently wrong with us? To find this out, all we need to do is find people who don’t think there’s anything wrong with them and ask them how they feel. But before you head off to the Himalayas in a wild search for such people, let me give you a hint: they are very plentiful, and they are all around us. Yes, I’m talking about our small children, who still haven’t learned to doubt themselves and who are still unaware of even the possibility that there could be anything wrong with them. They sense no disharmony in their existence, and the automatic result is they are naturally happy, joyful, open, free, and untroubled.

All suffering disappears once we no longer believe there is anything wrong or missing. The moment we realize that nothing is ever a mistake and that “all things are exactly the way they should be,” all emotional pain vanishes, replaced by total relief and inner peace. That moment, when we finally free our minds of all negative beliefs and just embrace everything as it is, without any judgment or condemnation, that moment is called enlightenment, and with it comes the Inner Heaven we all seek.

Understanding that all we really want is to find harmony and happiness in our lives is an important step in the path to non-judgment, compassion and true forgiveness.
