(00:22) Whatever is redundant will fall off of its own accord. Divine happiness, even the tiniest particle of it never leaves one again. When one attains to the essence of things and finds one's self, this is supreme happiness. When it is found, nothing else remains to be found. The sense of want will not awaken anymore, and the heart's torment will be stilled forever.
