The

happiness derived from sensory objects arises and vanishes with time.

For instance, when hunger is appeased, there is happiness for that

moment; but this happiness ebbs away after a while. This is true of all

objects in the world; the joy derived from them is evanescent. Man,

however, is after lasting Ananda (bliss). He is in fact the embodiment

of bliss. Bliss constitutes his very nature and being. Why, then, does

he not experience it? This is because, unaware of his true nature, he

is obsessed with the external world and fails to experience the bliss

within him. He mistakenly imagines that the source of joy lies in the

phenomenal world.
