What Is Happiness?

Air date: 03 15 2026

“The average human being is unhappy,” says Goswami Kriyananda. “A person who is unhappy is a person who is greedy, which is to say a person who is malcontent, which is to say a person who is fearful.” When people have very strong emotions, two fears arise. There is the fear that I’m not going to get the fulfillment of this emotion, or someone’s stopping me from getting it right away. “The goal of yoga is to attain the state of santosha, contentment.,” Kriyananda states. “If you are content, happiness will sprout from that state of contentment.”
