So we are planning for happiness. Why? Why you are searching after happiness? Because constitutionally you are happy. Just like when we fall diseased we go to the doctor, physician, to cure the disease. Why? Because constitutionally we are healthy. To remain healthy is our normal life, and to fall diseased condition, that is not normal—that is abnormal.

duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam
(BG 13.9).

Every effort is being made here to surpass distressed condition and to reach to the platform of happiness. The whole struggle is there. Why people are running by motorcar this way and that way? The background is to be happy, how to become happy. But they are making planning, "I shall be happy in this way. I shall be happy in that way." Just like there is advertisement: "Come on: there are some naked girl pictures." They are inviting: "Come here. You will be happy."

So we are planning for happiness. Why? Why you are searching after happiness? Because constitutionally you are happy. Just like when we fall diseased we go to the doctor, physician, to cure the disease. Why? Because constitutionally we are healthy. To remain healthy is our normal life, and to fall diseased condition, that is not normal—that is abnormal. Therefore we go to the physician, take medicine—ask treatment, "How shall I be cured?"

Similarly, we are searching after happiness. Why? Because constitutional position is we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, who is ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). He is by nature full of bliss. But our blissfulness has been disturbed. Now we shall have to find out why our happiness has been disturbed so that life after life we are searching after happiness, but we are becoming frustrated. That is our business—not to make the temporary place very comfortable.
