Man has to understand that he is the cause of his own happiness or misery, and that all he seeks or loves are not for their sake, but for his own sake. Hence, he has to understand by deep inquiry his own true nature. Realising the ephemeral nature of all worldly objects, man should recognise that enduring happiness can be got only by developing love for God. I do not condemn worldly happiness. I feel glad when people are happy. But, please do not believe that this happiness is permanent.
- Baba
