Each of his messages reads as a final insistentimperative.

“True happiness cannot be found in things that change, decay anddie. True happiness comes from the self and can be found in self only—notyour bodily-self, but the inner-self, which is the everlasting reservoirof joy. All search for happiness outside yourself is misery and leads tomore misery.”
