Is God Happy or Unhappy? Radhanath Swami resolves the puzzle…

Question to Radhanath Swami: Is God happy or unhappy?

Answer by Radhanath Swami: GodisSat-cit-ananda, he is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of unlimited happiness. He is called ‘Rama’, the reservoir of all pleasure. His happiness is supreme love, and part of that happiness is to be unhappy to see if we are unhappy. He is absolutely happy, but in that happiness there is unhappiness to see you and me unhappy. So we can make God happy by being happy, but by the right kind of happiness (i.e. spiritual happiness).
