What is happiness?
M: Harmony between the inner and the outer is happiness. On the other hand, self-identification with the outer is suffering.
Q. How does self-identification happen?
M: The self by its nature knows itself only. From lack of experience whatever it perceives it takes to be itself.
Q: What is the real cause of suffering?
M: Self-identification with the limited. Sensations as such, however strong, do not cause suffering. It is the mind bewildered by wrong ideas, addicted to thinking: 'I am this' 'I am that', that fears loss and craves gain and suffers when frustrated.
