Joy

And as I recall again and again that most wondrous form of Hari, O King, I am struck with great awe, and I rejoice again and again.

O King, as I recall again and again this sacred and wondrous dialogue between Keshava and Arjuna, I am filled with joy again and again.

With minds absorbed in Me, with very life surrendered to Me, enlightening one another and speaking of Me always — they are satisfied and they rejoice.

I bow to that true Guru who is the bliss of Brahman, the bestower of supreme joy, the pure embodiment of wisdom alone, beyond all duality, vast as the sky, the intended meaning of the great Vedāntic proclamations such as 'Thou art That' — one, eternal, unstained, unshakeable, the witness of all minds, beyond all mental states, and free from the three qualities of nature.

Salutations to the Guru — by whose truth the world appears real, by whose light all things shine, and by whose bliss all beings rejoice.

The gods, with Brahma at their head, worship your benevolent self, O sinless one. You are everything. You are the creator of the gods and it was you who caused them to be created. Through your grace, the gods pass their time in joy and perfect fearlessness.

By overcoming sleep, fatigue, anger, joy, hunger, thirst, cold, and heat, your children always experience the happiness that is fitting for heroes.

If someone truly lives in God's will, they find joy in all pain and simplicity in all complexity; even the torments of hell would be a joy to them.

Contentment brings us joy and happiness, while dissatisfaction leads to disaster.

O great Goddess! Now hear the method of meditation on the Guru — that which bestows all joy, eternally grants all happiness, and leads to both worldly fulfilment and liberation.

Through the gift of the Guru's grace, one beholds the blissful Self. Self-knowledge flows forth through this very path of the Guru.

The wise declare that one who has reached the state of omniscient awareness becomes permeated with the All. Ever blissful and ever peaceful, such a being rejoices wherever they may be.

Visualise the Guru clad in white garments, anointed with white sandalwood and adorned with white flowers, ornamented with pearls, with joyful eyes, a gentle smile — a treasure-house overflowing with intense compassion — and with the divine Shakti seated upon the left side.

A mortal who hears and fully grasps this truth, extracting this subtle thread of righteousness, rejoices — having obtained what is worthy of rejoicing. I think the abode of the Self is opened wide for such a one.

When someone possesses the three flames of Nachiketas and understands the triple nature of reality, they behold the flame of Nachiketas. This allows them to overcome the cycle of death and cast aside their sorrow, ultimately rejoicing in heaven.

In heaven, there is no fear at all. Death and old age do not exist there, and the soul can cross over hunger and thirst as if they were rivers, leaving sorrow behind and rejoicing.

The connection with the universe is preserved for the reason that supremely justifies it; it must exist not for personal earthly joy, as with those who are still bound, but to help all creatures.

The progressive perfection of the mind, life, and body, in terms of good, right, joy, knowledge, and power, is considered a victory.

The soul finds in it not only its own greatness, but also possesses the infinity of the One. It has a firm foundation in that immortal state, because there, supreme Silence and eternal Peace are the secure foundation of eternal Knowledge and absolute Joy.

It is, in fact, the infinite existence and bliss of the soul in the being of the all-blissful existence. This is also the higher status, the light of the Mind beyond the mind, the joy and eternal mastery of the Life beyond life, and the riches of the Sense beyond the senses.
