Episode Synopsis

We seek happiness from many sources. In reality, everything we do is aimed at achieving happiness. However, our experiences show that we never attain lasting happiness. If we look around the world, we can easily observe that no one has ever become truly happy by pursuing worldly things, yet we persist in believing, "I will be happy if I do this."

Through the story of young Bhoja, Nutan Swamiji illustrates how futile it is to think we can achieve eternal happiness by gaining anything in this world. Swamiji teaches us that happiness is an expression of the Soul, and it is our desires that obstruct our natural joy. When we eliminate these desires, we automatically find happiness.
