The manifested Universe is not the living entity's natural environment. Like a fish out of water, he cannot find real happiness which is more than an absence of pain (just as real peace is more than a truce). The spirit soul must return to the transcendental realms beyond the worlds of the material Creation. The soul is going back go Godhead.
The soul finds satisfaction in itself, being part and parcel of the Supersoul. Becoming self-sufficient, it need not satisfy the senses separately.
One feels real pleasure only when serving the Absolute by offering Him the food one eats, dedicating every action, project and creation to Him. The struggle for existence separate from the Organic Whole fades away as Universal Life remains.
~ Patrick Bernard (from Atlantis Angelis II)
