Where is the highest happiness?
There are different kinds of happiness.
And the highest happiness is not easy to achieve.
Most of the people can never achieve this happiness for their whole life.
They did not even know such happiness existed.
What is common happiness?
Anyone could name a lot of it.
Only they would not know the top secret of the highest happiness.
The highest happiness is granted to only a few among a few.
Highest happiness will come only when you are burning the whole of your inner urge.
"Burning the inner urge", is the same as burning your body.
If you are killing yourself to do something, it is just like the Buddha cutting off his own flesh piece by piece, to feed the needed.
Only the Buddha himself can experience such kind of happiness in the extreme pain.
Is it the highest happiness?
May be, or may not be.
No one can tell whether it is happiness or not, because he has died for it, or because he has become Buddha for it.
And the question has changed.
The question is not for the "highest happiness".
Perhaps the Buddha was not seeking happiness at all. He must be seeking something more important than happiness.
And we ordinary people cannot say it is the "highest" thing.
We can only know he was doing everything for it.
Therefore he is the saint.
Therefore he is the Buddha.
The question about the "highest happiness" seems irrelevant now.
There must be something higher than the highest.
It could be the ultimate goal for the universe, as well as we humans.
