Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,
This week in class we are considering the topic “Cheerfulness.”
Cheerfulness is a spontaneous expression of a purified heart and a steady mind. A clear mind is naturally blessed with cheerfulness, and a cheerful person spontaneously loves all and hates none. A cheerful person is fulfilled within, and this cheerfulness overflows, affecting everyone who comes near. On the other hand, and impure mind teems with countless conflicts. Spiritually speaking, a person with such a mind is empty. One who is empty envies those who are fulfilled, and easily becomes angry and vengeful. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to cultivate those divine qualities that purify the heart and steady the mind, thereby allowing cheerfulness to unfold spontaneously.
- Pandit Rajmani Tigunait
The reflection from the quote is to learn what practices you can embrace that will help you steady the mind. Observe how much discipline it takes to steady the mind and how this steadiness can help you cultivate divine qualities that purify the heart.
Blessings,
