"True joy is not an emotional state. It is not that which one - TopicsExpress



          

"True joy is not an emotional state. It is not that which one feels when some desire is satisfied, or when everything at last goes well. It is inward; it is of the soul. It can be developed, first, by not reacting emotionally to outward things. Don’t be tossed on alternating waves of success and failure. Don’t join, in their excitement, the buyers and sellers in the marketplace of this world. Be calm in yourself, even-minded and cheerful through the gains and losses of life. Then, in calm, deep meditation feel the joy of the soul. Hold on to that joy through all activities. Don’t confine it, but try ever to expand it, until your little joy becomes the joy of God." --Swami Kriyananda
