Sri Swami Satchidananda often spoke about peace and joy as our birthright, our very nature. He exhorted us to understand and avoid anything that would disturb that natural condition. Sri Swamiji once said, “Just be happy, have fun, enjoy life, and don’t get caught…..Choose the kind of fun that won’t bind you. If a certain kind of fun will bring you unhappiness later on, then it ‘s not fun at all. Our goal is unending joy.”
