Selfish people cannot be happy, because everything in their heart and in their soul is shrunk down. To be happy you must expand, until you embrace the entire world, and only love allows you to expand. People who have a lot of love expand, dilate, embrace the universe, vibrate with the universe and so everything opens up to them, they encounter no more obstacles and happiness never leaves them again. Love is the precondition for happiness. Only love brings happiness, not science, not even philosophy. Science and philosophy may - at best - pave the way, guide us, enlighten us, but they cannot make us happy. And Solomon had understood this when he said: 'For in much wisdom is much vexation, and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.' People who know a great deal are not so very happy. Only people who carry a lot of love in their heart are happy, even if they do not know much.
