During this contentious period in our world: SMILE !

 Namaste,

We are in the midst of an extremely challenging situation and environment, probably not seen in the history of this world. With pandemic ruling the roost almost everywhere in the planet and economy shut down, people are going through tough life situations.  To make it worse, there are the civil unrests and terrorism in some parts of the world and in the US, we are going through a tumultuous election period.  

All these may cause severe mental imbalance in people. The only option to escape from such mental agonies is to LEAVE IT ALL TO GOD. TRUST the GOD and SMILE.  

Sw. Chinmayananda captures these SMILING moods through these inspiring quotes:

Keep SMILING! Life is great!  Let nothing that happens around you unnecessarily affect you. Consider them all as Sri Krishna leela!

SMILE - even if you are not happy at first or in the end or in the middle!

Why should you fret about the world unless you too are a fool? SMILE !

Learn to SMILE when you feel insulted. Then anger can never arise.

A true devotee never despairs. Take whatever HE provides and keep on walking with a SMILE in your heart.

In the midst of life's dust and sweat, learn to take your stand with unbroken good temper. SMILE!

Tolerate the world and its endless foolishness. SMILE and keep on loving the people.

Life is a game of Hide and Seek. LAUGH on and play the game. When you 'discover', LAUGH; when you cannot, LAUGH. The one who laughs the most wins even when he loses.

Keep SMILING.  Everything will come around to help you - money, men and material. Surrender onto HIM and work. 

May the Almighty keep us SMILING and keep us safe in these trying time and all the time.  

Hari Om.
