6: The True Nature of Happiness & Sorrow

Both are an illusion, why?

The emotional pendulum of life constantly swings between happiness and sorrow. An occurrence that brings you happiness today, can lead to sorrow the next, and vice versa. Vedic sages explain that both experiences are an illusion, based on thought only, and that there is a much deeper purpose for them. Hear a wonderful story by Swami Govindananda about an old man, his son, and the horse they own, that gives meaning to the Vedic teaching.
