Joy is our birthright, and it is what we look for in our lives. Everyone is looking for that happiness and deeper joy from the time we are born. We may feel a moment of joy in our lives. But that is a temporary moment. Joy is more akin to a profound sense of happiness.  It is not an external feeling of happiness that comes from acquiring an object or situation. It is a state of mind and a feeling of the heart that includes contentment, confidence, and hope. This inner feeling does not leave us when conditions in our lives are not always the best.

The scriptures have mentioned that there are two paths. One is the sensual path or Preya. The other is the path of wisdom or Shreya, which brings everything to the tips of your fingers. What seems very attractive in the beginning may be bitter in the end, and what seems bitter in the beginning may be sweet at the end.
