Acharya Prashant defines happiness as that which pleases the mind, noting that the mind's attraction to objects arises from a sense of incompletion. He explains that in the normal plane of the mind, which he calls the plane of duality, happiness and suffering are linearly related. In this state, one cannot increase happiness without a proportionate increase in suffering or incompletion. Most people attempt to maximize happiness through doership and achievement, but this effort is self-defeating because it inevitably brings commensurate sorrow, leading to frustration and exhaustion. To experience happiness without suffering, Acharya Prashant suggests moving to a different dimension called the plane of immersion. In this realm, happiness increases with the depth of one's immersion rather than through effort or achievement. He defines the highest form of happiness as joy, which is only attainable in this non-dual state. While the dualistic plane offers only 'tainted' or 'botched-up' happiness, the plane of immersion offers unbounded joy. However, the mind often resists this because immersion requires the dissolution of the ego or the 'I', a price the fearful mind is unwilling to pay. Acharya Prashant describes the wise person as a 'great consumer of happiness' who refuses to settle for the small, sporadic pleasures offered by the world. He characterizes renunciation not as an act of giving up happiness, but as the spontaneous dropping of the stupid and self-defeating chase for pleasure in the dualistic plane. He emphasizes that love is the silent, ever-available pull from the source that draws an individual out of duality. He encourages listeners to be highly ambitious for the highest happiness and to respond to the call of the absolute with a total and courageous 'yes'.
