What is the difference between Sansaric Happiness and Spiritual Happiness?

Sansaric happiness is transient.

Then, why are we running so much?

Because that’s the only happiness we know.

But the happiness is transient; it makes us run all the time.

Whether you are running after objects, people, or situations doesn’t matter; running itself is Sansar, and not running is adhyatma ( spirituality ).

Whatever Sansaric happiness we get after so many efforts, it doesn’t last long, and there is always a “next happiness” luring us to keep us running.

This cycle never stops.

A mango tree can only give mangoes, not bananas.

If Sansaric happiness were eternal, everyone would have become eternally happy already.

But the reality is something else.

If everyone had become eternally happy, nobody would be running anymore.

Without running, the gigantic machine of Sansar will come to a screeching halt.

Desire is that essential lubrication for the grinding machinery of Sansar to run.

If you don’t see anything wrong with it, then spirituality is not for you.

“Jene janam maran no thaak lagyo hoy ane anant sukh ni itchha jaagi hoy ena maate chhe aa marg “
( One who has gotten tired of multiple cycles of birth and death, and has developed an inner wish of getting out of it, for them, there is a path of spirituality.”
– A Jain Monk.

Sansar can only give you what it has—transient happiness, and that also after a lot of begging from you, like a dog begging for food scraps from its owner.
Sansar has made us a dog.

Spiritual happiness, on the other hand, is not even the happiness that we call happiness.

A new word, ANANDA, has been created to understand it.

Ananda is that perpetual bliss that is yours, you never lose, and you don’t have to beg from anyone; it is always there, because its origin is from something eternal- the consciousness.

It is that Agadh shanti (profound peace) that manifests itself from the perpetual shunyata within all of us.
