So, it is clear that none of the fives goal can be achieved if one limits oneself with the limitations of the body.

Further analysis would show that out of these five objectives, happiness is of prime importance. This point is validated from the following observations:

1. To seek joy, people give up learning if learning is expected to bring in sufferings. For example, girl's education in many country faced initial hurdles as girls did not take up schooling fearing backlash from community.

2. To seek joy, people give up freedom. You can see people in service. They accept the binding to earn money which they feel is important in seeking happiness.

3. To seek joy, people give up life. Take the case of people committing suicide. They end up life to put an end to unbearable grief.

4. To seek joy, people give up power. There are reported incidences of prince and princess giving up the right to throne in order to seek happiness through marrying a commoner against the tradition. Detached Lord Buddha gave up throne to seek eternal bliss.

Thus the famous quote "Everyone lives to seek self-happiness."To seek happiness all the doctrines are developed. But key to seek true happiness is the knowledge of 'I'.
