Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
Happiness
Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
Religion
Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.
There is nothing like ‘within’ or ‘without.’ Both mean either the same thing or nothing.
Reality, Realization
If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.
