Until the ‘wrong belief’ leaves, we will continue to be robbed.

The worldly life means a market place of sensual pleasures. Worldly life means false (temporary) happiness all the time. And moksha (liberation) means permanent happiness all the time.

Believing happiness to be in the eternal thing is called the enlightened vision (samkit).

There is no happiness in what worldly people believe happiness in, there is happiness in what Gnani [the enlightened one] believes the happiness in. What people regard as happiness is not happiness.

Questing... is not an ego trip; it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself.
