          O son of Kunté, the nonpermanent
        appearance of happiness and distress,
       and their disappearance in due course,
              are like the appearance and
         disappearance of winter and summer
            seasons. They arise from sense
       perception, O scion of Bharata, and one
       must learn to tolerate them without being
                        disturbed.

                     Chanting makes me more
                       aware of what to do
                       and what not to do.
                      And now, I naturally feel
                        happy about doing
                          the right thing.
