    Hare Krishna, 

    You can stay happy and cheerful if you come out of duality of nature.

    Bg. 2.38

    सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ ।
    ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि ॥ ३८ ॥
     
    Do thou fight for the sake of fighting, without considering happiness or distress, loss or gain, victory or defeat – and by so doing you shall never incur sin.
     
    You can be always happy and cheerful If you do any work like as when you were a baby.  
     
    When you were a baby your were not even given colors you took the crayons and scribbled on the walls. You didn't judge what would be the outcome.  You didn't care for anything.  You were even ready to put your finger into the fire. You had no idea that it will burn you. You were totally dependent on your mother. 
    Kuch bhi ho jaaye mommy will take care of me.
    If you do any activity like that without thinking of outcome then you have no fear. No fear that means no worry. No worry means? what?? no worry means Always cheerful

    Just like our little Krishna did all michievous things ..
     
    remember:- He joined the braids of two gopis and ran away while they fought.
                       He stole the butter and rubbed the butter on the daughter in law's face and ran away. The mother inlaw got up from sleep saw the butter on the daughter in law's face and was fighting with her.
     
    He stole the butter in someone's house and when the gopi captured Him she took Krishna binding HIm with rope and Krishna replaced HImself with another gopa balak who was actually the gopi's son . HHAHAHA
     
    If you are able to do anything without thinking of the consequences then you can stay cheerful.

    But it is not possible to stay like that.   We fear of the consequences.  We worry. If  steel something police will catch us.  

    Arey, it is not possible to be like Krishna forever happy and cheerful
     
    Thats why Krishna says in BG:- Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 14, the idea is that the sensations of happiness and distress are temporary and should not be allowed to disturb us. 

    IN  this world it is practically impossible to stay like Krishna without fearing without worrying about the future or past. But atleast we can stop over reacting to stress and over reacting to happy situations.

    Hare Krishna

        Hare Krsna

        Yes, that is because some devotee of Krsna has made Krsna happy. Krsna will make them happy.

        If you make Krsna happy, then Krsna will make you happy.

        Note: Krsna will always be happy. But if we make Krsna happy,only then we can attain happiness. If we try to make ourselves happy without caring for Krsna's happiness, then we can't be happy  for long.

        Hare Krsna
