Happiness results when one attaches to God and his holy Sadhu by any means; one attains knowledge of the ātmā; the senses observe the moral and spiritual disciplines; one has firm conviction in the form of God together with detachment; and the jiva introspects – by these five ways one can remain happy. Therefore, everyone should examine one’s own position and think, “To which of these (five) am I inclined?” and remain happy.
