Lord Krishna says that without having a spiritual foundation, one cannot be materially happy. At the beginning of Bhagavad-gita, Arjuna tried to be happy by stopping the battle on the grounds of compassion, religious principles, moral codes, and indecisiveness. However, Krishna denounced Arjuna’s proposals because they were on a material (mundane) platform. Krishna wants everyone, including Arjuna, to derive the highest level of happiness in the transcendental (spiritual) platform. 

The most crucial aspect is to execute this happiness formula. The first step is to elevate one's consciousness from material to the transcendental platform. Once this is achieved, rest all effortlessly follows. To quickly reach the spiritual platform and enjoy spiritual happiness, scriptures strongly recommend chanting the holy names of Lord Krishna. 

“The surest path to happiness is to live by the principles laid down by Lord Krishna and not to disobey His established laws."
