All the pleasures in the world afford only a glimpse of that happiness which is within us, in our inmost being. In our everyday external life that happiness is buried as it were. If there comes a time when happiness is experienced by the soul, it is the time during which we are asleep. The little happiness which we experience in this world is not real, but only a shadow, which we call 'pleasure,' whereas the true happiness which we experience by our natural light, we don't call happiness, for we do not know what it is. Only its after-effects remain with us, and a person feels happy when he comes to the wakeful state after having had a good sleep.
