Identity and happiness

 Identities are important. What mind conceives as identity needs to be systematically assessed? Because the identity concept decides the level of well being and bliss. By raising the identity concept one can raise the level of inner well being, it is as simple. We generally take up many temporal limited identities. For example the nation we are born into, the family, the profession, the education, the identity relative to ones parents. Like iam son/daughter of such and such a person becomes one of the identity. A person gets a web of identities as one grows in this world from childhood to adult state. Company identities are also very popular. But these identities should remain on the surface just for the sake of operating in this world and should not get deeper into our consciousness. Deeper we just have to maintain that iam blissful part of the universal soul network. This is described in Vishnu Sahasranama as viswatma, bhutatma or trilokatma. This belongingness to infinite consciousness is very important for uninterrupted and existential bliss.
