Always remember that to be happy is to be religious, to be happy is to be virtuous. To be celebrating is to be prayerful.
To be festive and remain in a festive mood continuously, is to be a Sanyasin (ascetic). Then you enjoy whatever happens. You enjoy good health when it happens, you enjoy illness also when it happens. Then both become beautiful. It is beautiful sometimes to be ill and just lying on the bed, resting, not worrying about the world; allowing yourself a good holiday; singing, praying, meditating on the bed; reading a little bit, listening to music; or just doing nothing, just being lazy. It is beautiful. If you know how to enjoy health, you will be able to know how to enjoy illness also. Then you become a master, you become skilful. This is the whole art of life.
You enjoy your youth and when you become old, enjoy your old age. Old age has its own beauties; no young man can have those beauties. Every age should be enjoyed. Be whatsoever you are; let that moment be your totality.
Never enforce your wisdom on any child, because that is a crippling thing. Don't make a child old before he is old. Don't dominate children and pull them out of their childhood faster than nature allows. It stifles the child, the child loses something forever. And when a child was not a child when he was a child, he will not be young when he is young. Something will always go on missing. He will always be late in life - he will miss the train.
That's why so many people dream of missing the train. It simply shows that somehow you have been missing the train, that life is. 'Live in the present; live for the day'.
