ULTIMATE JOY
Ultimate Joy: Why Happiness Dies… But Joy Never Has To.
Why does happiness disappear so quickly? A new car excites us.
A promotion thrills us. A profitable business fills us with confidence.
Recognition makes us smile. Yet sooner or later, the
excitement fades. The next desire arrives. The search begins
again. Why? Because we have unknowingly attached our happiness
to events—and events are always changing. In Ultimate Joy,
Dr. Abhishek Gilara invites you on a deeply personal and transformative
journey inspired by a simple conversation that changed
his life forever.
Drawing from his experiences as an entrepreneur, timeless teachings from the Bhagavad Gita, the
Upanishads, and the Bhakti tradition, along with practical insights from psychology and neuroscience,
he reveals a profound truth: temporary events can create temporary happiness. Only the
Eternal can create everlasting joy. Inside this book, you will discover why success, wealth, possessions,
and achievements can never provide lasting fulfilment; the crucial difference between
happiness, pleasure, peace, and joy; how our emotional state quietly shapes our family, workplace,
and relationships; why loving God transforms joy from an occasional feeling into a way of
living; how devotion, gratitude, and selfless service create resilience even during life’s greatest
challenges; practical daily habits to cultivate a joyful mind and a peaceful heart; and how to
become a source of hope, positivity, and strength for everyone around you. This is not a book that
asks you to renounce the world. It is a book that teaches you how to live fully in the world without
allowing your inner joy to be controlled by it. Because when your happiness depends on changing
events, it changes with every season. But when your joy rests in the Eternal… no loss can steal it.
No success can inflate it. No circumstance can destroy it. The greatest achievement in life is not
becoming successful. It is becoming so deeply connected to God that your presence itself
becomes a source of peace for others.
