Sadness has Depth, Happiness is Shallow

[Guest guest]

Let sadness be a welcome guest.

 

The next time you are sad, don't fight with it. Don't waste time

fighting: accept it, let it be a welcome guest. Look deepinto it

with love, care. Be a real host. And you will be surprised beyond

your comprehension: sadness has a few beauties which happiness can

never have.

 

Sadness has depth, happiness is always shallow. Sadness has tears

and tears go deeper than any laughter can ever go. Sadness has a

silence of its own, a melody, which happiness can never have.

Happiness will have its own song, more noisy, not so silent.I am not

saying choose sadness. I am just saying enjoy it too. And when you

are happy, enjoy happiness.

 

Relaxation has to be earned.

 

If you feel like studying, study, but don't waste time. Just sitting

you become more and more lazy. .... and laziness is not good.

Laziness is not relaxing. A lazy person cannot relax. Only a person

who is doing hard work can relax. Relaxation has to be earned.

 

Look your problems away.

 

Whenever you are having a problem, just look at it. Problems are

fictitious; they don't exist. Just go around the problem,look from

everyangle, how can it be? It is a ghost. You wanted it is why it is

there. You asked for it, that is why it is there. You invited it,

that is why it is there. Next time you have a problem, look into it,

and look hard into it.

 

Look into it as a here-now think, just enter into it. Donot think

about causes, reasons. Just watch the problemas it is. And you will

be surprised that looking hard into it, it starts dispersing. Go on

looking into it and you will find it has gone.

 

Follow your heart.

 

Everybody has to find out what is close to his heart. You simply do

that which your heart supports. The heart is never wrong, remember.

The mind can be right, can be wrong. The heart is always right,

there is no question of its being wrong.

 

So whenever your heart feels at ease with something, then go with

it, root and all. Do not look back and do not bother about what

others are doing. Let them do their thing; you do your thing.
