Always Wear Your Smile
Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke about the importance of being kind and loving to everyone we meet by helping to spread happiness and joy to the world.
One of the practical ways we can be kind and loving to all, he said, is to always wear a smile on our face. Despite the difficulties and challenges that we may be passing through, when we wear a smile, it brings joy to our environment and helps us deal with our difficulties more cheerfully. The spiritual Master described how research shows that a smile can produce hormones in our bodies that make us feel good. Relating a memorable anecdote, he illustrated how a smile is the best thing we can wear and can rival the most expensive piece of clothing.
Exhorting all to “Go Jolly,” Sant Rajinder Singh Ji explained that this means to be happy in all kinds of circumstances. It means that we do not get perturbed when things happen contrary to what we expect around us or wherever we are. We realize and accept that difficulties, pain, and troubles are a part of life and we resolve to face them with a smile and not let them pull us down.
We need to learn to deal with difficulties in the best possible manner, and we can do so when we tap into the source of all happiness, peace, and joy that is hidden within us. That source is God, he said. Through meditation, we can experience God and partake of the joys within. If we can face every situation in life with a smile, anchored in the source of all happiness within, we are sure to spread love and kindness wherever we go.
