that which is celebrating, joyous. If you can go on dropping all that
is sad, sombre, serious, all that gives you a long face, you will be
moving in the right direction. Cultivate all that brings joy, and I
say ‘all’: the bodily, the psychological, the spiritual.
The real celebration is when the body, the mind and the soul all dance
together. If only the body dances, it is happiness; something is
missing in it. It is very gross. If only the soul dances then it is
very subtle, abstract, not of the earth. It has wings but no roots;
again something is missing. Between the two is the bridge of the mind.
The mind can divide the two, it can also unite the two. When the mind
divides, it is called the mind. When it unites, it is called
meditation. And when all the three dance so together, as if they are
one, that is ullas, that is celebration.
So let this be your criterion. Whenever the question arises of what
has to be done, this has to be the criterion: if it brings joy, do it.
And whatsoever brings joy to you will bring joy to others too.
Sometimes it may not be very apparent, but this is the fundamental
law: that which brings joy to you is bound to bring joy to everybody,
and that which brings misery to you is bound to create misery for
others, sooner or later. Be utterly self-full, and remember that in
being self-full, you are serving humanity.
