Is there a key to eternal happiness?

Yes, there is a key to eternal happiness. It is known as enlightenment. It is overcoming ignorance and realizing the truth. Most of us are trying to find happiness in achievement, in pleasures that are momentary. Some of us are fortunate, we take an exit from the highway of achievement and we live a life of contentment and fulfilment. We are far more peaceful, but yet there is no eternal happiness because we still experience misery and sorrow. What is the way to live without any misery and sorrow? It is to be liberated. Liberation comes from realization of the truth, realization happens when we overcome ignorance. This is the way to eternal happiness and everlasting peace. It is enlightenment, realization of the truth.

If pleasure is materialistic then happiness is?

Pleasure is the happiness that comes from material things, it comes from achievement, it is momentary, it is temporary. Therefore, if our happiness is based on things, on people, on places, on possessions, it is pleasure. However, if we evolve beyond happiness from achievement, we can live a life of contentment and fulfilment. This happiness is far greater than the happiness that comes from material pleasures. But the ultimate happiness comes not from achievement or pleasures, not from fulfilment, contentment or peace, it comes from enlightenment, it comes from liberation from all miseries and all sorrows. We are free from the suffering of the body, misery of the mind, agony of the ego, as we are liberated from this world and we live as the Divine Soul till we are united with God. This is the best, the most evolved happiness.
