00:00The Upanishads were not composed to give you the normal kind of comfort and happiness.
00:05The Upanishads are there to give you an exalted happiness, a transcendental happiness, an eternal happiness.
00:13A happiness so rare and exquisite that it is not called as Harsh or Mod or Prasannata.
00:22A special word is needed to denote that happiness, Anand.
00:27It's a difficult happiness, it's a challenging happiness, it's a happiness that you must pay for.
00:35It's not one of those cheap happinesses that come to you because somebody has tickled your tummy
00:41or because your eyes have just landed upon some object you can lust at.
00:49Not that kind of your everyday happiness.
