Be Cheerful Always (No Sourpuss Vedantins)

 


“If you want to practise Vedanta or Jnana Yoga smile always, be cheerful always. [S]He who is gloomy, [s]he who is cheerless, [s]he who has a castor-oil face or Sunday-face cannot become a Vedantin. [S]He is not an Adhikari or qualified person for the practice of Vedanta. Such a [wo]man should be shut up in a cell, as [s]he is a source of infection or contamination for others. Shun the company of such a negative person. A [wo]man of Viveka alone is fit for the practice of Vedantic Sadhana and a [wo]man of Viveka is always peaceful and joyful.”


 -Swami Sivananda
