Most so-called "happiness" is nothing but suffering in disguise. You may enjoy eating a huge meal, but you are also likely to have unpleasant after-effects, such as acute indigestion or stomachache. The greatest way to create happiness for yourself is not to allow sense lures or bad habits to control you, but to be a stern ruler of your habits and appetites. Just as you cannot satisfy your own hunger by feeding another person, so you cannot find happiness in satisfying the over-demands of your senses.
How to Be Happy All the Time: The Wisdom of Yogananda, Volume 1
