English:
One can never find happiness in this world BUT only in the spiritual world & that too easily
Perfect life and Perfect happiness & Eternal happiness, can never be found in this material world BUT lies only in spiritual world and it is quite easy to obtain almost as easy as just entering the temple of one's own heart with 100% faith (sincerity).
God is interested only in our sincere heart and not in our body (तन) & wealth (धन), so our body and wealth can be used for the worldly purposes & duties but the mind should be diverted/surrendered completely to God.
Whereas happiness is always illusionary in this world like a mirage, as this world is titled दुखाल्यम अशाश्वत (mountain of sorrows and that too temporary) by the Creator God Himself, even if we work hard 24 hours a day.
Are Biden or Trump or Putin or Modi or Bill Gates or Elon Musk or Mukesh Ambani happy ?
God has given us brain (ज्ञान शक्ति) as well as free will (इच्छा शक्ति) to either "use" (उपयोग) our human birth or "misuse" (दुरुपयोग) it.
It all depends on our choice whether we simply want to work hard 24 hours x 7 like asses (गधों की तरह) for illusionary happiness or we want to achieve perfect happiness by easy way, which is simply to please God and that can happen only if we know & follow what God wants from us & herein comes the utility of spiritual knowledge & loving devotion (भक्ति)
After death & rebirth among any of 84 lakh yonies, starting from a mother's hell like womb for 9 months or so, everyone has to again start from scratch (zero) But if you become Krsna conscious, even if you cannot finish the job in this life, even if you fall, still, you will be given another chance of human body, to begin where you ended, to begin from the point where you fell down
So, all the work (office,home) has to be done undoubtedly but while remembering Him & dedicating our thoughts, words and deeds to Him. This is the easiest way.

In the Bhagavad-gita, there is one verse in the 5th chapter, the 21st verse. It says:
Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure but is always in trance enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realised person enjoys unlimited happiness for he concentrates on the Supreme.Bhagavad-gita 5.21
So in this verse we are being told that we need to direct the search for happiness actually inward rather than out to this world, the world in which we find ourselves. It has to become an internal quest where we are actually in touch with our true identity.

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kuntī, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.Bhagavad-gita 5.22
I mean it’s like, wow. This is quite a novel concept for most people because of the society in which we live and the way in which people view this world, we do not actually hear these types of ideas but there is a couple that really, really jump out. One is the nature of so-called material happiness, the little joys that we can get in life. They have a beginning and therefore they must have an end; you cannot have a beginning without an end. That is the nature of things, part of this duality. So if something has a beginning and we know that it surely will end, of course putting a lot of effort into that experience is obviously not going to be very smart.

That happiness which is derived from contact of the senses with the objects of the senses and which appears like nectar at first but poison in the end is said to be of the nature of passion.
Bhagavad-gita 18.38
Sr 4
That happiness which is blind to self-realization, which is delusion from beginning to end and which arises from sleep, laziness and illusion is said to be of the nature of ignorance.
Bhagavad-gita 18.39
Sr 5
That which in the beginning may be just like poison but at the end is like nectar and which awakens one to self-realization is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness.
Bhagavad-gita 18.37
Sr 6
Krishna, He advises Arjuna, He says;
Oh son of Kunti, the nonpermanent (nonpermanent) appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
O best amongst men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.Bhagavad-gita 2.14-15

Another verse from the 6th Chapter, 27th Verse, it says;
A yogi whose mind is fixed on Me (Krishna) verily attains the highest perfection of transcendental happiness. He is beyond the mode of passion, he realizes his qualitative identity with the Supreme, and thus he is free from all the reactions to past deeds.Bhagavad-gita 6.27

The ever new joy of God inherent in the soul is indestructible. So also, its expression in the mind can never be destroyed if one knows how to hold on to it, and if he does not deliberately change his mind and become sorrowful by nurturing moods.
You are an image of God; you should behave like a god. But what happens? First thing in the morning you lose your temper and complain, “My coffee is cold!” What does it matter? Why be disturbed by such things? Have that evenness of mind wherein you are absolutely calm, free from all anger. That is what you want. Don’t let anyone or anything “get your goat.” Your “goat” is your peace. Let nothing take it away from you.
If you think that you can live happily in forgetfulness of God, you are mistaken, because you will cry out in loneliness again and again until you realise that God is all in all the only reality in the universe. You are made in His image. You can never find lasting happiness in any thing because nothing is complete except God.
The unalloyed happiness I find in communion with the Lord no words can describe. Night and day I am in a state of joy. That joy is God. To know Him is to perform the funeral rites for all your sorrows.
I form new habits of thinking by seeing the good everywhere, and by beholding all things as the perfect idea of God made manifest.
हिन्दी :
किसी को इस दुनिया में कभी भी खुशी नहीं मिल सकती, केवल आध्यात्मिक दुनिया में और वह भी आसानी से
सर्वोत्तम जीवन और पूर्ण खुशी और शाश्वत खुशी, इस भौतिक दुनिया में कभी नहीं मिल सकती है, लेकिन केवल आध्यात्मिक दुनिया में है और इसे प्राप्त करना लगभग उतना ही आसान है जितना कि 100% विश्वास (ईमानदारी) के साथ अपने दिल के मंदिर में प्रवेश करना।
भगवान केवल हमारे सच्चे दिल में रुचि रखते हैं, न कि हमारे शरीर (तन) और धन (धन) में, इसलिए हमारे शरीर और धन का उपयोग सांसारिक उद्देश्यों और कर्तव्यों के लिए किया जा सकता है लेकिन मन को पूरी तरह से भगवान को समर्पित किया जाना चाहिए।
जबकि इस दुनिया में खुशी हमेशा एक मृगतृष्णा की तरह मायावी होती है, क्योंकि इस दुनिया को स्वयं निर्माता भगवान ने दु:खों का पहाड़ और वह भी अस्थायी कहा है, भले ही हम दिन में 24 घंटे कड़ी मेहनत करते हों।
क्या बिडेन या ट्रम्प या पुतिन या मोदी या बिल गेट्स या एलोन मस्क या मुकेश अंबानी खुश हैं?
भगवान ने हमें मस्तिष्क (ज्ञान शक्ति) के साथ-साथ स्वतंत्र इच्छा (इच्छा शक्ति) भी दी है कि या तो हम अपने मानव जन्म का "उपयोग" करें या इसका "दुरूपयोग" करें।
यह सब हमारी पसंद पर निर्भर करता है कि क्या हम केवल मायावी खुशी के लिए गधों की तरह 24 घंटे x 7 कड़ी मेहनत करना चाहते हैं या हम आसान तरीके से पूर्ण खुशी प्राप्त करना चाहते हैं, जो कि केवल भगवान को खुश करने के लिए है और ऐसा तभी हो सकता है जब हम जानते हैं और उसका पालन करते हैं कि भगवान हमसे क्या चाहते हैं और यहीं आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान और प्रेमपूर्ण भक्ति की उपयोगिता आती है (भक्ति)
84 लाख योनियों में से किसी एक में मृत्यु और पुनर्जन्म के बाद, लगभग 9 महीने तक माँ के नरक जैसे गर्भ से शुरू करके, हर किसी को फिर से शून्य से शुरू करना पड़ता है।
इसलिए, सभी काम (कार्यालय, घर) निस्संदेह करने होंगे, लेकिन उसे याद करते हुए और अपने विचारों, शब्दों और कर्मों को उसे समर्पित करते हुए। ये सबसे आसान तरीका है.
