Even when we think that our pursuit is to make others happy , the reality behind this is an attempt to see the pleased self. The pleased self is not away from me. It is always there but one has to discover it. Not experientially but being awake to its own real nature which is full and complete beyond any limitations. This limitless existence alone is the basis of all happiness which we experience. This infinite existence when unmanifest it is fullness and when manifest it is happiness.
