Exploring the Source of Happiness

What is the source of happiness? Is there a difference between the happiness that is our essence and the happiness provided by objects or relationships? And why is it that when an object or experience that makes us happy is taken away we suffer?

Rupert says there is only one kind of happiness but your happiness is not caused by objective experience. The person, object or substance temporarily brings your search for happiness to an end and when the activity of your mind comes to an end your true nature of happiness shines.

It's fine to desire desire objects or activities or relationships, but not on account of the happiness that you believe will be derived from them. If you believe that your happiness is derived from and dependent upon the object or the relationship, then when the object disappears, or the relationship comes to an end, then the happiness will also seem to come to an end.
