Pleasure and Pain
Whichever object is giving you pleasure, the same object will give you misery---the same thing will give you misery, pain. Like, apple pie is giving you joy, go on eating apple pie, and it will give you a stomach ache and what not.

How to Enjoy
We want to enjoy, but we do not even know how to enjoy. This is the whole problem. There is a way to enjoy, also. The rishis are not against anyone living in the world.

The Secret of Joy
You are the source of joy.

Withdraw your senses
Withdraw your senses from the object to its source, then the union happens, then the yoga happens. You look at something beautiful---now, take your attention from that something to the feeling of beauty that is arising in you.

Move on to the Center
If you are touching something very nice, what is happening? A sensation is arising in your body. Now, put your attention on the sensation and move on to the center.
