ACCORDING TO VED-VYAS,HAPPINESS WILL COME FROM LONG PRACTICE. IT IS A VERY HARD PRACTICE ONE ALMOST ABANDONS IT. IN THE INITIAL STAGE IT FEELS LIKE POISON. AS YOU PROCEED IN YOUR MEDITATION, IT TASTES LIKE NECTOR. THIS KIND OF HAPPINESS ARISES FROM SERENITY OF ONE’S OWN MIND. 18 CHAPTERS OF HIS “JAYA” CONSTITUTES BHAGVAT GITA. JAYA DEALS WITH DIVERSE SUBJECTS LIKE ASTRONOMY HISTORY,GEOGRAPHY WARFARE, RELIGION,AND MORALITY. ACCORDING TO HIM, DESIRE TO POSSESS, THIRST FOR WEALTH AND HANKERING AFTER PLEASURE AND ENJOYING IT IS AN ATTACHMENT. AVERSION= REPULSION, ANXIETY, ANGER AT PAIN. THE SELF EXISTS IN ALL LIVING BEING. THIS SELF DOES NOT EXIST IN THEM WHO HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED DEATH. VED VYAS IS DEPICTED AS THE SPIRITUAL PERCEPTOR OF FIVE BRAHMINS WHO LEARNT FROM HIM THE VEDAS AND MAHA-BHARAT. BY THE EXPERIENCE OF DEATH, THE EXPERIENCE OF FORMER LIFE IS REALIZED. THIS IS AFFLICTION OF LOVE OF LIFE, WHICH FLOWS BY ITS OWN POTENCY. CONJUNCTION IS THAT WHICH BRINGS ABOUT RECOGNITION OF NATURE OF POWER OF OWNING AND CAPACITY OF BEING OWNED, THE KNOWLEDGE IS REALIZED. THE SIDDHAS, THE GODS, THE RISHIS BECOME VISIBLE TO HIM WHO FOLLOWS ABOVE GUIDELINES.
