The solution to your problem is to see who has it.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.

The pure mind is itself Brahman; it therefore follows that Brahman is not other than the mind of the sage.

An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.

The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.

See who is the subject; and this inquiry leads you to pure Consciousness beyond the subject.
