The one ruler of the many inactive — the one who makes the one seed manifold — those wise ones who perceive Him dwelling in the Self — for them is eternal happiness, not for others.

Same theme, different voices
The root cause of a person's suffering is their pride. Even if someone makes a sacrifice, they can still get caught up in their own pride. What is the point of such a sacrifice? It is pride, or ego, that should be sacrificed. That is where true happiness and bliss are found.
True happiness requires more than just knowledge; it demands love. The love of God can only fill a person's heart after it has been purified of worldly desires, and this purification can only be achieved through self-discipline and detachment.
