If

a man wishes to be happy, the first exercise he must do is to remove

from his mind every bad thought, feeling and habit. Grief and joy are

obverse and reverse sides of the same experience. Joy is when grief

ends; grief is when joy ends. What exactly is grief? It is merely a

reaction to the loss of something gained or the failure to gain

something desired. Therefore, the only way to escape grief and sorrow

is to conquer desire for the illusory. The secret of happiness is not

in doing what one likes but in liking what one has to do. Whatever work

you have to do, you should do it with pleasure and liking.

 

- BABA
