We are searching for happiness so sincerely, but we could not attain even a drop of happiness, and Tulsidasji (poet Saint Tulsidas) says,
सोई सुख लवलेस, जिन्ह बारेक सपनेहुँ लहेउ।
ते नहिं गनहिं खगेस, ब्रह्म सुखहि सज्जन सुमति॥Soi sukh lavles, jinh bārek sapnehuṁ laheu.
Te nahiṁ ganahiṇ khages, brahm sukhahi sajjan sumati.- Ramayan
There are three words that are very important in this line: Soi ‘sukh lavles’ (सोई सुख लवलेस), lavlesh (an infinitesimal trace), and ‘bārek sapnehuṁ’ (बारेक सपनेहुँ). If we get even the smallest part of happiness, it is called lavalesh.
Lavalesh - what is the meaning of lavalesh? If you have a needle and put it in that way and put lots of water in it, you can pour the entire ocean also on this needle; eventually, the part of the water which stays on the tip of that needle, that is called lavalesh. You can imagine how much that is.
So if somebody attains that lavalesh of happiness, and not many times. ‘Bārek’ (बारेक)means just once and sapnehuṁ (सपनेहुँ) - (even in a dream) - not only in your wakefulness, but even if you attain that happiness even in a dream (sapnehuṁ), then what will happen? We will reject completely even Brahmanand (the bliss of impersonal Brahman).
