Yogis seek to find that true happiness which resides within. Ramakrishna Ananda discusses what keeps us from finding ongoing happiness. He encourages seekers to go through the levels of meditation to the inner self. It is here that we will find ananda — abundant, ever-new joy.
Quoting Chidbhavananda, in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita:
“When the mind is pacified by relinquishing all the kamas, the blissful true self, the blissful atman, the true self, is realized in its original glory.”
