Ordinarily speaking we say we are happy when we get the thing we are longing for.  At the time when we desire something, our mind is in a state of unrest; but when we get that thing, the state of unrest is replaced by a sense of peace. Therefore, happiness follows when a preceding state of unrest is ended. Happiness is identical with the feeling of rest or peace. - Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal
