due to an injury or due to worry, is called a misery. As against that if the flow of experience is given a chance to centralize at any part of the body or heart and stops there, there will be happiness. But since these parts of body or heart are made of dual conditions of contrary and united. Therefore there is no complete happiness in them, rather there is a mixture of both the happiness and misery. Therefore there is no happiness in making the lower layers of your body as the center of attention. But who ever does the practice of concentration by turning towards upper layers, going up the united conditions and gets as much nearer to the single condition, he gets the happiness accordingly. Who ever totally gets nearer to the single creation, will get the freedom from worldly miseries for ever.
Illusion of Chitta, worries of the heart, foul thoughts, lack of concentration is called misery.
Peace of Chitta, comprehensiveness of heart, condition of taking responsibility (Mutahada) of thought and concentration of attention is called happiness.
Chitta, heart and condition of taking responsibility of thought etc. are related to Suratand Atma. A man is happy, when he contracts his attention. There is no doubt that there are many ways of contracting attention; reading, writing, playing, pleasure trip, musical practice, have concentration to some extent and happiness will be according to the stage of concentration. But these are all external happiness and the flow of attention gets a chance to put its force on them and get happiness. Therefore there is no happiness in it from all the limbs. Where there is Surat on Its own accord, there is real happiness. In reality this Surat is Sat, Chit and Anand. Whatever happiness is there, is all in it. When he is concentrated (one) with Antarmukhi Vritti, then he gets more happiness, which is permanent and self authoritative.
People may ask that how can Surat throws Its reflection on things of worldly luxuries and pleasures and derive happiness. This problem is necessary for explanation. This can be explained with one example. For example: the son of a person has gone to a foreign country; the boy has come; Surat has moved away after experience. He was loosing happiness. It is evident from this that the happiness was not in that boy, rather it was in his attention. If it were to be in the boy, then why should it go? In this way, similar is the condition with all the other happiness of the world, either the happiness is from a woman, children, wealth or sovereignty. Surat makes them as the things of enjoyment for some time, by influencing them. But they are different from Surat. There can neither be harmony between them for ever nor it can get absorbed in it. Therefore attention has to move unnecessarily some day or other. Therefore there are miseries and it is necessary to have miseries.
