The mind, although subtle, is matter according to Vedic science, and its influence on the body and spirit is profound. By aligning with spiritual practices, one can gain insight that goes beyond modern medical science, which focuses primarily on the body and chemicals.
The Living Entity or Jiva's eternal quest for Ananda, or spiritual happiness, stems from its innate spiritual nature. Yet, Maya often keeps it bound to worldly ties, delaying true bliss through devotion and remembrance.
True happiness and wisdom emerge when we align with truth, overcoming ego and desires, and embracing a life led by self-awareness and Vedic principles. The guidance of a Guru and a spiritual mindset unlock the ultimate path to liberation and eternal joy.
