"All living beings are in search of joy. We pursue joy directly and do so indirectly when we try to avoid distress. And we want the same type of joy: that which is everlasting. We are looking for the same thing but looking in different places. Yet the joy we find in this world is fleeting at best. Joy derived from material objects will never be everlasting. Why is this so? Material objects are transitory. If, we are to be successful in our search for joy, we must look not to matter, but to the very consciousness of which we are constituted." — Swami Bhaktivedanta Tripurari, Joy of Self
