Yagyawalky described happiness of soul but we seek happiness of senses. The happiness is always of infinite magnitude and it is everlasting. The two important adjectives, which are frequently used to describe this happiness, are Infinite and Eternal. We are after the happiness which is infinite and eternal. The major hurdle is the query, “Well, it might be true that there exists such kind of happiness, but my argument is, I do experience happiness through senses. There is pleasure in material persons and objects and it is very hard to take away mind from these pleasures, for materialistic pleasures are easily accessible.”

1. Is there any object which is liked by all without any exception and with equal degree of excitement in it? It’ll be impossible to find such object because everyone of us has different taste. Some love sweets, some do not. Some enjoy wine, some find it nauseating. Some are fond of music, some find it cacophonous. Some love reading, some dancing, some singing. Some like sports other like movies. Some like cricket, some foot ball, some base ball, some basket ball. The list is very long.

We must, therefore, realize that happiness is not there in the object, but it has origin in our own concept. It is evident from the fact that despite the object is same, it has different appeal to different persons for simple reason that every mind perceives the object with its own evaluation. As this evaluation varies from person to person, the same object fetches varied amount of joy to different individuals. To some the same object may not be enjoyable at all. Not only that, few of remaining may have strong dislike for the same object. Thus, the worldly pleasures are conceptual or psychological in origin. Worldly happiness is conceptual happiness. Your own concept about any object brings in happiness to you and it is your stupidity that you think the object has capacity to make you happy and therefore, you must be after that object. Thus, you get completely distracted.
