Happiness and Joy

Cheerful endeavour: the joy that one finds in the effort towards the Divine.

Keep a cheerful mind and a peaceful heart. Let nothing disturb your equanimity and make every day the necessary progress to advance with me steadily towards the goal.

 29 October 1934  

HAPPINESS 

Happy heart: smiling, peaceful, wide open, without a shadow.

 Page — 192


You must never forget that you are much more helpful when you are quietly happy than when you become dramatic.

 5 October 1932

Be happy, my child, it is the surest way of progress.

 12 April 1934

Happiness is as contagious as gloom and nothing can be more useful than to pass on to people the contagion of a true and deep happiness.

 25 October 1934

Try to be happy immediately you will be closer to the Light.

 11 July 1935

Indeed he is happy who loves the Divine because the Divine is always with him.

 7 March 1937

So many problems have been facing me of late. I wonder how they are to be solved happily.

 

The only way to a true and lasting happiness is a complete and exclusive reliance on the Divine's Grace.

 19 October 1941

Always be good and you will always be happy.

 13 October 1951  

 Page 193


Let us always do the right thing and we shall always be quiet and happy.

 24 May 1954

Let us seek our happiness only in the Divine.

 5 June 1954

When the Divine grants the true inner happiness nothing in the world has the power to snatch it away.

 5 October 1954

Spiritual happiness: calm and smiling, nothing can disturb it.

 

Always remember that on the happiness you give will depend the happiness you get.

 2 June 1963

The happiness you give makes you more happy than the happiness you receive.

 4 July 1965

To be concerned for one's happiness is the surest way of becoming unhappy.

 

If we want to keep our happiness intact and pure, we must do our best not to attract upon it the attention of unfriendly thoughts.

 Page 194


To be always happy, with an unclouded, unfluctuating happiness — of all things this is the most difficult to accomplish.

 

JOY 

Joy comes when you take the right attitude.

 

Joy comes from submission to the divine command.

                 6 May 1933

Joy of spirituality: the reward of sincere effort.

 

Once a man has tasted the joys of inner life nothing else will ever satisfy him.

 

No joy is comparable to the feeling of the eternal Presence in one's heart.

 4 July 1954

Joy of integral peace: calm and tranquil, a smile which does not disappoint.

 Page 195


        Joy's call: it is modest and rarely makes itself heard.

 

BEATITUDE AND BLISS

 

There is no greater bliss than that of being like a newborn child in front of the Divine.

 19 October 1954  

The immutable Beatitude of the Divine is translated in the consciousness by an impelling force of progress of an incomparable intensity.

This force is transformed in the most external being into a calm and assured will which no obstacles can overthrow.

 20-21 October 1954

To know beatitude is to know the Divine.

To know the Divine is to know beatitude.

They are intimately and eternally united in an indissoluble identity.
