happiness is the very nature of the Self

 





Happiness is the very nature of the Self:
happiness and the Self are not different.

There is no happiness in any object of the world.
We imagine through our ignorance that we
derive happiness from objects. 

When the mind goes out seeking,
it expereinces misery.

In truth, when its desires are fulfilled,
it returns to its own place and enjoys
the happiness that is the Self.
