We have to see that creative bhava of joy and happiness (aanand આનંદ), is maintained continuously in our aadhar (base). Know that there is no real achievement if you do not experience such happiness. The critical tests come when there are incidents of mind and other instruments going astray from our aim of life. The soul that becomes aware at the time of such tests survives the tests. Depending upon the level of our awareness, we get real estimate of our level of achievements in life and the intensity of the desire to achieve our goal during the time of the tests. We get the measure of the level of our sadhana from the level of real awareness during the test. So when we get the desire to get interested in unnecessary and useless talks or in the external activities that defies our purpose, we should be aware at the time with equanimity and try to guide our instruments (mind etc) inwards towards the bhava of the heart (aanand) with more joy and interest.
