Another mistranslation. However, the state of enlightenment (at the tantra level) can be described as a state of joy or bliss that is orders of magnitude beyond any transitory happiness that we might feel when we're not enlightened. But to your point, you are right, looking for transitory moments of happiness is not the same as working towards enlightenment.
