They are two different things.
There is the joy of existence, and then there is the joy of what is happening in existence.
What is happening in existence we try to control and manipulate.
Sometimes things go our way. Sometimes they don't.
But then there is another joy.
That joy has been there through all the years of your life, waiting to be discovered.
And that joy will be there for as long as you live.
It is the simple, simple joy of being alive.
- Maharaji
