No one can get even an iota of happiness from worldly transitory things.

evam lokam param vidyan
nasvaram karma-nirmitam
sa-tulyatisaya- dhvamsam
yatha mandala-vartinam
(Bhag. 11/3 120)

We may say, we may not be happy here in this world but we shall be happy if we go to other higher worlds. But the higher worlds are attained by karma, by material efforts or by material actions. Rivalry, emulation, and fights amongst equals and malice or animosity towards superiors exist there also, as we experience here.

tasmad gurum prapadyeta
jijnasuh sreya, uttamam
sabde pare ca nisnatam
brahmany upasamasrayam
(Bhag. 11/3/21)

Therefore, if we sincerely want actual bliss, we should give up our arrogance of thinking that we can get it by our own efforts. We should take absolute shelter at the Lotus Feet of Gurudeva who will be indicated by the attributes of being well-versed in the Vedas (Holy Writings) and equivalent scriptures, receiving the transcendental Divine message through the preceptorial line, as well as having realisation of the Divinity. We should enquire from Him about our eternal benefit.
