Perhaps the person who uttered this phrase wanted to hint that you should not make a cult out of happiness.
After all, in the modern world, imbued with the mood of hedonism and romantic ideas about love, too much is built around the values of a happy, read, cloudless life.
But true happiness is really not in happiness.
It would even be more accurate to say that when you forget about happiness, then it usually catches up with you. True happiness is that.
Happiness is understood as different things. Some people understand this word as moments of special joy, pride, euphoria. And someone — even, long-term contentment with life. Someone puts in this concept transitory-passing meanings, and someone eternal. In any case, happiness is the goal of every person's life and there is no need to engage in sophistry or deceit here. And who has what it is — this is a question for everyone personally. In our time, it is already good if a person asks a question about it for himself, and if he tries to put this state in perspective (how long the source of happiness can maintain this state), then in general it is excellent!
I want to quote the following phrase in response: Happiness is for the happy. It's a little harsh, but it's true. After all, it is very difficult to enjoy someone else's happiness. Most of all, we ask ourselves in such cases: why couldn't I do this? why was I unlucky? why don't I have it? From this we can draw one of a million conclusions: life is a series of successes – your own and others'. We can't be happy for someone else's money if we haven't experienced it ourselves. And we don't always even notice our own, so “happiness is not in happiness” is partly true. After all, as long as we don't have news about someone's success/happiness, we don't bite ourselves so hard. The truth will be to achieve an inner balance and stop looking at the happiness of others, to compare, and to be your own source of happiness and energy, to be important to yourself. And of course, to cultivate the ability to be happy for others. So I'll settle for 70 percent. Because in life there is still love, friendship, travel and much more, although this is with a good location and leads to happiness, those 30%.
I'll say it even better. Not in the water is water, Not in the grass is grass. Not the point of the point. The thing is not in itself at all, it is not in it. She's somewhere nearby. The thing is out there.

For me, happiness is being able to understand.

This is just my opinion 🙂
