Episode 381, Where Is the Joy of Infinite Quantity? The Path Beyond Sorrow to True Liberation

The world we live in is a powerful field of desire, attachment, aversion, and suffering. From birth to death, the soul passes through countless experiences—relationships, pleasures, pains, ambitions, disappointments, and hopes. While these experiences appear different, they all share one common quality: they are temporary.

Behind all worldly happiness lies the silent truth that no pleasure lasts forever. Even the greatest joys fade, and even the most beautiful moments dissolve with time. This is why the scriptures and realized masters declare that the true problem of life is not pain, but impermanent happiness.

The Soul’s Seed Energy

Every soul carries within it a seed of divine energy—the power to awaken, realize itself, and attain liberation. But just like a seed stored too long loses its ability to sprout, the soul too can lose its awakening potential if it remains buried under desires, habits, and karmic impressions.

When a seed is planted in fertile soil with air, water, and sunlight, it grows into a tree. In the same way, when the soul is placed in the soil of knowledge, meditation, and self-discipline, it grows into divine awareness. But if the soul remains trapped in worldly attachments, it becomes like a roasted grain—unable to grow, unable to awaken.

This is why the scriptures emphasize urgency:
“Awaken before the seed energy fades.”

What Is Moksha?

Moksha does not mean heaven. Moksha does not mean pleasure. Moksha does not mean a better birth.

Moksha means freedom—freedom from pleasure and pain, from birth and death, from attachment and fear. It is the state where the soul becomes completely independent of the world and its illusions. True moksha is not temporary relief. It is permanent liberation.

Why Deep Sleep Feels Peaceful

Every human being experiences a small taste of moksha every night—in deep sleep.

In deep sleep:

• There is no sorrow

• No desire

• No identity

• No fear

• No memory

That is why people say, “I slept very peacefully.”
There is joy without objects.

But the moment we wake up, all our karmic seeds—desire, anger, greed, attachment—rise again. The happiness of sleep was real, but it was not permanent because the seeds of illusion were still inside.

Why Worldly Happiness Always Turns into Sorrow

Worldly pleasure behaves like sweetness that turns into poison.

The first sweet tastes good.
The second feels enjoyable.
The third feels pleasant.
The fourth becomes heavy.
The fifth becomes painful.

This is the nature of desire.

Even heaven works the same way. The pleasures of higher realms are greater than Earth, but they are still temporary. When good karma finishes, even Indra must fall. Even Brahma’s world is not eternal.

The Vedas say:
Those who desire heaven are still ignorant, because heaven is just a longer dream.

The Greatest Sorrow

The greatest sorrow in the universe is not poverty, disease, or death.

The greatest sorrow is forgetting who we truly are.

We are not the body.
We are not the mind.
We are not the roles we play.

We are pure consciousness, but illusion has covered us.

Where Is Infinite Joy?

There is no infinite joy in objects.
There is no infinite joy in relationships.
There is no infinite joy in heaven.

Infinite joy exists only beyond the mind, beyond the senses, beyond identity.

It is reached through:

• Deep knowledge

• Deep meditation

• Purification of the mind

• Removal of karmic seeds

• Dissolving the ego

When the soul rises above all coverings, it enters Supreme Peace—a state of limitless, unchanging bliss.

Knowledge Is the Greatest Power

In the Mahabharata, even mighty warriors were defeated, but Yudhishthira, through knowledge, was victorious. Knowledge liberates where strength fails.

Knowledge cuts karma.
Knowledge dissolves illusion.
Knowledge awakens the soul.

Yoga: The Doorway to Liberation

Daily deep meditation and yoga dissolve the layers of the subtle body. Slowly, the seeds of desire, fear, and attachment lose their power.

When meditation becomes deep, time disappears. Just as in deep sleep, hours pass in moments. This is a sign that the soul is touching its true nature.

Final Truth

All worldly happiness is temporary.
All worldly suffering is temporary.
Only Self-Realization is eternal.

If you want infinite joy, you must rise above the world, above heaven, and even above gods—into the state of Supreme Consciousness.

This is the path of true liberation.
This is the meaning of Moksha.
This is the eternal joy that never fades.
