Friends: What Stops all Sadness & Frustration? Where does all mental melancholy and blue depression cease without a trace?

When, with the fading away & stilling of all directed thought & any sustained

thinking, one enters and remains in the second jhāna absorption of assured

unification of mind, merged with pleasure and joy, born of this well anchored

& fixed concentration: It is right there that all mental frustration & sadness

cease without a trace remaining...

Therefore do beings reborn at the radiant deva level, never feel any mental

sorrow, misery or sadness, since they are continuously absorbed in this subtle

2nd jhāna concentration... Thus they move their body of beaming light joyously

around at the speed of a thought! They are literally feeding on this pure Joy!

Continuously enveloped in enraptured and exalted ecstatic bliss! O n how to attain the Jhāna absorptions:
