Those who are yogīs, they are also enjoying. Ramante yoginaḥ anante satyānande. That is real happiness, which increases. Which decreases, that is not real happiness. That is illusion. Ramante yoginaḥ anante satyānande cid-ātmana. Cit, that is spiritual, spiritual ānanda. Really we want ānanda, happiness, blissfulness. That is our natural instinct. Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). So . . . but we are searching after ānanda in this material world, and that is described here that saṁsṛtir bandhaḥ pāra-tantrya, under material condition and changing this body one after another. This is not ānanda. Satyānande cid-ātmani. Ānanda is available on the spiritual platform. Satyānande cid-ātmani. Ramante . . . iti rāma-padenāsau paraṁ brahma iti abhidhīyate ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 9.29|CC Madhya 9.29]]). Therefore the yogīs, they enjoy, ramaṇa, in the spiritual world. That ānanda is called Rāma, Hare Rāma, Hare Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is also attractive, and Rāma is enjoyment. So when we dovetail our activities with Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, then our life becomes happy. Before that there is saṁsṛtiḥ.

Therefore in order to understand the science, one has to go . . . that is the Vedic injunction, tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum evābhigacchet (MU 1.2.12): "One should approach a proper, bona fide spiritual master." And the spiritual master will save him from this blazing fire of repetition of birth and death. Therefore Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura sings:
