Depending on the level of body, mind and soul, there can be three states of happiness for each person: Pleasure, Satisfaction Joy (mental state) and Bliss (spiritual state) or Tamasic, Rajasic and Sattvic states.

Happiness is only a physical state based on the happiness of the outside world. This is a momentary physical happiness. This happiness is the happiness of the five senses. These include eating delicious food, listening to melodious music, smelling good, seeing nice fun things and enjoying social bliss. All this happiness requires money or something special and it depends on the outside world. Scientifically the cause of this type of happiness is dopamine (DA) and serotonin while the causative agent is catecholamines (NA). These are all brain chemicals and neurotransmitters.

The next stage is satisfaction which can be called mixed happiness. This happiness satisfies externally as well as internally. The effect lasts longer than the above happiness. This is the mental kind of happiness. This type of happiness comes from success, wealth, honor, rewards, accomplishments, creative work, doing public service, leading and doing good deeds. Vasopressin, prolactin and oxytocin as well as DA, Se and NA are also causative agents. These neuropeptides / chemicals give happiness satisfaction through social prestige, relationships, warmth and feeling of security and affirmation of ego. For example: creating music gives satisfaction (joy). While listening to music gives pleasure.

Achieving satisfaction is a very important need for human beings. And at the same time the sensual pleasures of the animal kingdom are also necessary to some extent. But both of these types of happiness are short lived. The second is dependent on and permanently variable. We must clearly understand that true happiness cannot come from this.

Nijananda is the culmination of happiness, where the normal processes of the mind cease and the consciousness merges with the parachetana. Nijananda is realized through sadhana, yoga, meditation, penance etc. This is the state of stasis. The main ones are neuropeptides, endorphins, GABA and endocannabinoids. There is no function of dopamine or serotonin. In our spiritual language these three states can be called tamasik (merriment), rajasik (satisfaction) and satvik (bliss) .... body, mind, soul .... the three levels of happiness are separated in this way.

Now the question arises whether happiness or joy can be measured? Happily, in terms of economics, happiness can be measured globally by GDP, Happiness Index and Human Elevation Rank. Happiness can be scientifically assessed by neuropsychological tests, advanced EEG (MEG), fMRI, SPECT, and PET. Elements of pleasure arise in different parts of the brain, as the response to laughter is produced in the pprefrontal cortex, nice fun events stimulate the rostral anterior cingulate and amygdala.

A person's happiness is 90% based on his genes. 10% is based on circumstances, 30% on wealth, health and 20% is based on his morality, spirituality, attitude towards life, preservation of relationships etc.
