' Permanent Joy '...

To find permanent joy, you must look in the right
direction.

You will not find it in any outside object.

Every object will rise, stay, and then cease.

You
have to look somewhere else for permanent, eternal
joy.

Don't attribute joy to something else, be it a person,
the sun, moon, or stars.

Stop this tendency of going to outside objects,
whatever they may be.

Stop your mind from going
in any direction outside.

Then you must return to your
inner beauty.

That is your own nature: bliss eternal,
which you have never felt.
