Imposing Future Happiness on Present Unhappiness

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“There are also some who undergo many hardships and still say ‘I am happy’. A

sprinter will be gasping for breath. Still, the pleasure of the possibility of

winning will make him say ‘ I am happy’. This is nothing but imposing the future

happiness on the present unhappiness. Those who strive for money day in and day

out also come under this category.

 

The summary of the above discussion is that wherever the jeevi accepts a body,

(a) he will be under the illusion that unhappiness is happiness or (b) he will

directly experience unhappiness."
