Be always cheerful and sprightly. There will always be ups and downs on the road of life. Pleasant or unpleasant, take all vicissitudes alike, with fortitude. In the sky of your heart, dark thick clouds of desire and doubt hide out the brilliance of the Sun of Buddhi (intellect). They are only clouds; they will pass away. Develop a strong character; reason will blow the wind which will drive off the clouds. Meditate on God and pray that they pass away; the Lord will come to your help.

- Divine Discourse, May 13, 1968.

Happiness is union with God. - Baba
