Question: Sometimes in the group, there is a certain condemnation for not being able to rejoice in the same way as your friends. Which is better: to artificially pretend to be joyful or to stay silent?

Answer: There should be no artificial play. You should be happy about what the group is happy about.

Question: Could it be said that joy is naturally linked to intention, and when the intention gradually changes, joy may disappear as one moves on to deeper inner work?

Answer: Joy should not disappear.

Question: So we just have to look for it?

Answer: There is no need to look for anything. If you are engaged in deeper spiritual work, you will also experience its consequences more deeply.
