From Becoming to Just Being Essentially, this memoir is about living life to its fullest, to achieve its greatest but most elusive goal – Real Happiness. Discovering the joy that true love brought to my heart I began to value meaningful relationships which I cherished with family and friends. The strength that these bonds brought helped me to understand and endure the painful experiences that life inevitably presents, including the death of loved ones. My search for a fulfilling life and enduring happiness led me to take up career opportunities in various countries around the world. Although these brought financial success and much pleasures and enjoyments, they were always fleeting and punctured by life's trials and tribulations. This lifelong search finally steered me to South India where the well-known sage, Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, lived from 1879 to 1950. His Words guided me to the fountain of innate happiness that lies within my Self. After nearly a lifetime, I learnt that real happiness lies within oneself. It is an enduring happiness that is not dependent on fleeting external objects and experiences. I share these experiences so that you, too, might overcome the many challenges that life presents and find the Happiness that is within your Heart. Morris Rozario
