Pain and sorrow lie deep, but not as deep as joy. Joy is the foundation of your existence. Joy overcomes anguish every time. Joy is not your companion in times of despair. Joy is your true nature. You are joy—always! Joy cannot abandon you. You may deny joy. You may bury it beneath your worldly desires. But joy remains undaunted. You cannot walk away from joy. Joy is the ember that glows eternally within. Join in union with joy. Let joy be your mandate.
To follow joy, enter the depths of the eternal. The room within has no end. Look upon it attentively with eyes that see. Clarity reveals the ember of joy that is you. There is no separation. You are the one. There is no visitor. There is no presence. There is you. There is no other outside of you or beyond you. You cannot be abandoned. There is nothing for you to gain. Your joy is to remember your true nature. You pass from the living to the dead and from the dead to the living without alteration. What is there to change when you are changeless? Joy transcends description.
What is it to live in joy? It is to love all without fear. To love without fear is to live with peace of heart always. You know this in the silence of the room within. Words are not required. The self has been put to bed, where it sleeps peacefully. You have found your true nature in joy. Live open and alive joyously!
