113. Jocose

Madal:

Chinmoy, I wish to be a circus clown, so that I can always see the disciples' moods become jocose.

Chinmoy:

Madal, a circus clown is jolly and cheerful and playful in public, but in private his life may swim in the sea of tears. If you really want to be jolly, cheerful and playful, then think and feel that you are only four years old, and not 40.
