The Mantra To Keep You Cheerful

If you want to be ever cheerful, practice the following mantra : "Even this shall pass." Let this mantra inscribed indelibly in your heart. With the practice of this mantra, you can remain alert in the event of both pleasure and pain and stop yourself from getting engrossed in them. Then, you can establish yourself in the supreme bliss of equanimity.

Pair of opposites such as pleasure and pain, honor and insult, joy and sorrow affect the body. They will come and go in greater or lesser degrees so long as the body exists. Do not be overwhelmed by them. You are the absolute Self, imperishable Atman while pleasures and pains are fleeting. How can they ever affect you? They have no existence of their own. In fact, they appear on the ground of your existence. You are distinct from them. Hence witness them, withstand them, and let them pass away. Be ever blissful and peaceful.

There is no object that brings pleasure or pain. They are creations of your mind, your thoughts and feelings. With the help of these thoughts, be absorbed in your own eternal Being, the Truth absolute and be always peaceful.
You are the Supreme bliss, Brahman personified. It is your Self that dwells in all. The happiness that appears in the world is in fact just a glimpse of  Self-Bliss. It is your inner bliss but because of your ignorance, you think it is obtained from external objects of sense pleasures. Just as the sun's reflection in water is not the real sun but is merely an illusory appearance thereof, so also is the pleasure experienced through sense-enjoyments- it is not real bliss. It is illusion, not real.


Blessed Be...!
