Dada BhagwanThere is no happiness in what worldly people believe happiness in, there is happiness in what Gnani [the enlightened one] believes the happiness in. What people regard as happiness is not happiness.
About This Quote
In order to understand the meaning of this quote, we need to understand what happiness means in our society. In our world, happiness is something that is always available. Happiness is something that is always available, so it must be easy to access. However, people tend to confuse happiness with ease or relaxation.
Instead of actually being happy, the person is just feeling happy, free of any problems. The idea of Gnani refers to the ultimate knowledge of an individual. Gnani refers to the teacher within us that guides us on our way to enlightenment. This ultimate knowledge is not something that can be accessed easily by joining an online group or group therapy session.
Instead, people must do their own work and find the answers within themselves before they can see true happiness.
