Quit Your Worrying!

CHAPTER I
3/22

If happiness and a large content be a laudable aim of life how far are we--the occidental world--succeeding in attaining it?
Few there be who are content, and, as I have already suggested few there be who are free from worry.

On the other hand while active happiness may be somewhat scarce in India, a large content is not uncommon, and worry, as we Westerners understand it, is almost unknown.

Hence we need to find the happy mean between the material activity of our own civilization, and the mental passivity of that of the Orientals.

Therein will be found the calm serenity of an active mind, the reasonable acceptance of things as they are because we know they are good, the restfulness that comes from the assurance that "all things work together for _Good_ to them that love God." That worry is a curse no intelligent observer of life will deny.

It has hindered millions from progressing, and never benefited a soul.
