Yogic Guidance (I)

I am trying to be silent within, but the mood of jocularity persists. Is this not, however, a sign of cheerfulness?

Not always – moreover the cheerfulness is vital. I do not say that it should not be there, but there is a deeper cheerfulness, an inner sukhahāsya which is the spiritual condition of cheerfulness.
