May hundred joys be yours, from this day, from this hour: the joy to grow in Knowledge, the joy of inspired and inspiring Service in the Name, and for the Glory, of God, the joy of Faith, the joy of Self-Control, the joy of being bigger than petty emotions, the joy of rising above the passing clouds of small desires and smaller wishes, the joy of Devotion, the joy of pursuing higher Ideals and Values, the joy of giving Peace to others, the joy of making others and yourself happy, through God-Consciousness; for, from God-Consciousness alone, real Joy, real Power, real Strength, real Knowledge, real Perfection, can emerge.

H.D. Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati
