True happiness

First we need to know that the basis of our misery is that we have established ourselves
in untruth. We are deeply identified with that which we are not. Somewhere along the
way we have gotten identified with things around us. We have got identified with our
body and mind. That is the source of suffering.
Whatever you have known right now, your experience is only limited to your five sense
organs. Whatever you have known either of the world or yourself has come to you only
by seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting. If these five senses go to sleep, you
will neither know the world nor yourself. They feel everything only in comparison. So
this is not a matter. Whatever your idea of God is, it is simply coming from the limited
experience of who you are right now. It is not coming from any true experience. The
only thing that you can experience is that which is within you. And that which is within
you, you have never really looked at in real depth.
The whole experience of transcending your limitations must happen within you.
If you want to transcend, only if you are truly willing, it can happen.
Otherwise, no power on earth or in
heaven can move you recognition of divinity,
and we will see that there is no reason for misery in the world.
The whole process of yoga is to make your interiority absolutely in your control. It is a
possibility to move from a state of external enslavement to inner completeness, which
is the state of unboundedness. If your inner nature is unbounded, your life is also
unbounded. You can either sit with your eyes closed or you can perform different action
– both ways your life can be complete.
When a man has reached this state within himself, where his actions are only to the
extent required for outer life situations, then he is a complete person. If within you,
your inner nature has attained fulfilment regardless of the external situation, we can
say that you have become unbounded. This is a state of true happiness.
