Chapter 18 verse 39
“That happiness which covers the nature of the self from beginning to end, and which is derived from sleep, indolence, and negligence, is said to be in the mode of ignorance.”
Gaining
temporary pleasure or happiness by indulging in excessive sleep, habits like
smoking, drinking, drug use, overeating or over indulgence of any kind is said
to be in the mode of ignorance. This happiness doesn’t last forever and is very
momentary and affects the body, mind, intellect and ego even more long term. As
Bhagwan says such pursuit of happiness can only happen if witness to the soul-“mana
sakshi" or mindfulness is completed lost in the material world and delusion sets
in.
