Pleasure, Happiness and Joy

Is there any difference between Pleasure , Happiness and Joy ?

On the face value they all look similar with slight difference of experience but when we retrospect then we find that they are world apart.

What is pleasure ? 
It is a feeling of enjoyment felt at body level and body level only. And that is why we seek pleasure. And we always seek something which is outside. 
So anything that titillates our 5 senses gives us pleasure. 

What is happiness ? 
Happiness is a state of mind. We do not necessarily require 5 senses to be happy. We are happy when say things go our way or when we meet someone near or dear to us , when we get good news etc. We don't seek happiness rather we feel happy. It is all to do with our mind. We can choose to be happy even if we hear a bad news. But bad news never gives us pleasure. 

Then what is joy ? 
Joy is never sought. Joy cannot be felt as well. So it has nothing to do with our body or mind. It has its root deep into our soul level. When we attain the state of remaining happy under all conditions we reach the state of being joyful. A joyful person is always energetic irrespective what happens outside. 

Joy is the state of being. 

And the purpose of life is to find how to be in a joyful state forever. Because only in this state we can be the manifestor and co-creator. 

For being joyful we do not require any external agency or senses. It is felt with our 6th Sense. 

How to graduate from pleasure to state of being joyful ? 

We can't have the cake and eat it too.

So first thing is to detach ourselves from seeking pleasure. The biggest challenge today as to why we have bad finances , bad health , bad relationship and lack abundance is because we have indulged ourselves to only seeking pleasure.

The day we detach ourselves from seeking pleasure we will find ways to be happy , and when we train ourselves to be happy everytime , we will graduate to being joyful everytime. And that's when we learn the art of unconditional love. 

Someone asked me can we ever be joyful to meet someone ..

Well if you are seeking pleasure you will be pleased to say meet a beautiful girl or handsome man or an influential person.

If you are wanting to be happy you will want to meet your dear friends or family members or your beloved. It's all about emotional connection and state of mind.

And the day you will meet your soul family who have been yours since universe got created , you will automatically feel joyful just like the way a dog reacts on seeing his master after a long time ..

Your body mind and soul will start dancing.. and you experience bliss
