13. Happiness

En español: 13-la-felicidad.htm

Janaka said –

1. The tranquillity which is born of the consciousness that there is nothing but the Self is rare even for one who wears but a loin-cloth. Therefore giving up renunciation and acceptance, I live happily.

2. There is trouble of the body here, trouble of the tongue there, and trouble of the mind elsewhere. Having renounced these, I life's supreme goal I live happily.

3. Fully realizing that nothing whatsoever is really done by the Self, I do whatever presents itself to be done and live happily.

4. The yogins who are attached to the body insist upon action or inaction. Owing to the absence of association and dissociation, I live happily.

5. No good or evil accrues to me by staying, going or sleeping. So, whether I stay, go or sleep, I live happily.

6. I do not lose by sleeping or gain by striving. So giving up thoughts of loss and elation, I live happily.

7. Observing again and again the inconstancy of pleasure and pain under different circumstances, I have renounced good and evil, and I live happily.
