Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Everyone is hankering for happiness because by nature we are happy: anandamayo 'bhyasat (Vedanta-sutra 1.1.12). As spirit souls we are naturally happy, blissful. But we are suffering because we have been covered by five gross material elements -- earth, water, fire, air, and ether -- and three subtle material elements -- mind, intelligence, and false ego.
