TROTA | CHAPTER 4 | SEL0422 | SWAMI KRISHNANANDA Contact is , therefore , not a method of acquiring happiness , but a means of getting freed from the pain of desiring , and thus making the Self experience itself indirectly . But even this temporary experience of happiness due to contact should not be mistaken for even a jot of true Self-Bliss , for in contact the desires are not destroyed , and this happiness experienced through contact is only a reflection of Self-Bliss through the material quality of sattva . Contact is only a stimulus to sattva-guna , which alone can reflect happiness . Sense-contact is a crude method of fulfilling desire born of deluded perception , and it can never bring to the experiencer the real bliss which one is hankering after .
