Because the condition of Sushupti mentioned above is not a very pure condition of Atma. A human being works day and night for happiness. No body gets complete worldly happiness, because the layer where we are placed at present is not the layer of complete happiness.
The complete happiness is in Atma alone. The way in which the Atma gets an opportunity to return to its store house (Maqzan) in the same way It gets the pleasure and happiness by his will and which is durable. Who will ask you to sacrifice the world, unnecessarily? There is no need for you to wear a loin cloth and exert in a jungle with out any gain. This is a strong mistake and it is a training which leads astray. But along with it, is not a stupidity that you spend entire life in playing and jumping and you can not spare a little time for the search and enquiry of your reality. Where sixteen hours of the day are fixed for the worldly works, fix at least two hours for this work, so that you can live in this world like a lotus in the water but water can not wet its leaves. You can enjoy the world with this kind of life and along with it you will not be ignorant of the real happiness of Atma and when the time for departure comes, you leave this world as an ordinary thing.
A person who has spent all his life in worldly matters, could neither get worldly happiness nor fortunate to have the knowledge of self at the time of death. Another person who was engaged in worldly duties as an ordinary worldly man, but he was always keeping his Beloved in his heart and his hands at work, so that he was knowing the reality of the world and also having the knowledge of his self and desirous of reaching real Bhandar. Who is better between the two?
Man’s self, Rooh, Atma is the store house of all the powers. But by mistake nobody presents in this way. Life is wasted improperly in the enjoyment of sensory pleasures. It is a foolish act to experience freedom while being trapped in the layers of Prakriti. Freedom is not in prakriti, but is in Atma. Prakriti is strength and Atma is life. People run after the shadow leaving the light. Shadow kills them by becoming a devil. That is they weep and cry. But who will listen. What ever you do, it will appear before you. If you are searching for real happiness, try to go inside yourself. Search for happiness in your Atma. Learn the knowledge of the places of Atma. Become a Salik and you will become happy.
Types of happiness:
Now the source of happiness has been traced out. But we think it is essential to place before you the types of happiness according to the different layers of Nature. We divide the happiness into three ranks pertaining to: 1. body, 2. heart, 3. intellect. In the lower rank of Nature, where animals live will have the happiness in the body, which is the gross state of matter and Nature.
