25. Question: Does the heart ever smile?
Sri Chinmoy: The spiritual heart, the inner heart smiles only when it sees God and feels God-satisfaction. When it sees that God is smiling, then it smiles, not even one second before. If the aspiring heart sees that God is smiling, then it feels that it has a purpose for its existence on earth. Only when God is smiling does the aspiring heart smile, not before.
