A human being has to have happiness.

A human being has to have happiness. In our pursuits of happiness sometimes we think that we will become happy from comforts and hoarding, or that we will become happy from chanting and penance. All human beings make some endeavour or the other for becoming happy, but there has not been any evidence of anyone achieving fulfilment or lasting happiness from these endeavours. Now in my pursuit of happiness, I achieved happiness on the basis of understanding of existence. I think every human being can become happy upon achieving understanding. Human beings are united in right and fragmented in wrong. For unity in humankind, there was a need to cognate one aspect which is same in all human beings, which could be the bearer of righteousness – and that aspect I understood to be ‘jeevan’.
