Self or atman or brahman, is of the nature of ananda.
Using this ananda alone, all the various objects of like are created, as though they give ananda. The source for their ananda, is the purnAnanda atma.
Under the spell of maya ishvara, the ananda svarupa of atma is hidden, and the person looks for ananda in objects, where it is projected.
So there is simultaneous projection and hiding of ananda, resulting in a chase after ananda.
This is samsara, or preyas. A mumuksu is seeking shreyas in the form of knowledge.
It is the mind that habitually goes after these objects of like, but the mind can be trained via nidhidhyasanam, to assimilate the vedantic teachings, and stay satisfied in the self which is the original source of ananda. The mind can assimilate that the objects that appear to exhibit ananda, and give ananda, the source of that ananda, is oneself, thereby the objects only reinforce the knowledge that I am ananda svarupa, as that is the raw material.
I am the raw material ,and I am ananda svarupa, both these get reinforced in every experience.
This is the knowledgeable way of looking at jagat, it is hence not a fault of the jagat that some objects appear to be ananda givers, it is by design and via an enlightended outlook, we appreciate the design, and see oneself as the source.
