Eternal Youth and Eternal Smile

There, there, I have kept something for you carefully; as soon as I received these flowers this morning, I thought of you: "It will be something for Mona when he comes." I kept them separately. Do you know what they mean?

This one is Eternal Youth, and that one, Eternal Smile.

These are two flowers that complete one another. Two flowers that are very essential for a complete life.

If one remains young eternally and if one can smile eternally, then one takes a great step towards transformation. When one is above the fetters of the ego and the desires, one starts smiling, and when one can keep a constant aspiration for progress, then one remains young. Here are two sure means to reach the goal. Don't waste time. Become an optimist and follow the direct path. There is no need to think.

My little "Eternal Smile"

Must go on smiling, smiling still more when the difficulties come. Smiles are like rays of the sun, they dissolve the clouds.
