Nutan Swamiji explains that in meditation, we withdraw from all interactions as well as thoughts about the world, the body, and so on. When we completely forget the external world, we are flooded with happiness and bliss. This experience reveals that true bliss comes from within. Once we understand this truth, we see the fallacy of chasing after happiness. In reality, it is our desires that keep us unhappy. Joy is a natural quality of the Soul, always welling up from within. When all desires (and hatred) are eliminated, we can attain true happiness and permanent joy.
