Spiritual blossoming simply means blossoming in life in all dimensions – being happy, at ease with yourself and with everybody around you.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Being unconditionally happy is a practice: “Come what may, today I’m going to smile. Anyway, everything is going to die! Everything is going to vanish and disappear-so what! Who cares! Let me at least be happy, smile this moment, enjoy my very breath.”
