Smile improves your face value. Inner smile improves your ’self’ value. By ‘inner smile’ I mean the inner joy radiating from within like a charming joyful innocent child lights up a dull environment. Your inner smile will light up those hearts which have forgotten who they are. You are joy personified, love personified, peace personified. To smile is your inherent nature. For you not to smile, is unnatural. For how can joy not express joy? Remember that. Inner smile – beautiful, joyful, playful, cute, innocent, ever alive to light up the place, wherever you meet, whoever you meet, whenever you meet. Keep that inner smile alive – like an immortal lamp. The inner smile will manifest as a radiant joyful face – like a magnet pulling people towards self – share this inner smile – distribute it freely and abundantly – yes like that – smile!

Cry when you have to. But maintain that inner smile. For sorrow, happiness… the duality touches only the outer layers; the core has never changed and can not be changed. The core is blissful, joyful, peaceful forever. No event, at any moment of time can loot the inner smile from you if you are fixed to the core – if you know in heart of your heart who you are. Simple love. Simply peace. Silence. So first ‘try’ to be conscious of ‘inner smile’. You can not smile and pass it to the core as ‘inner smile’. Inner smile is constant – eternal. You can be conscious of it and it will manifest as outer smile on your face, literally your whole body – for all cells will remember their true healthful, joyful nature – then it will be like your entire body is smiling!

And you can’t stop – those who come closer, will smile, naturally – from within. For inner smile is contagious!

How many problems can be solved with just a simple divine smile? Emotional roller coaster can be brought to a halt with the divine break of inner smile! Try it. It is very effective. Wars could be saved by soldiers smiling at each other! Do you know the language of smile? It’s language of love, peace and bliss.

Nature smiles at you, do you see? Beautiful morning… the mild Sun rises up from the East, birds chirping rhythmic music, colorful flowers blooming, dew drops shining on grass, coolness of the gentle breeze… It’s my inner smile manifested in environment around you! It’s constant but you notice it only when you are in sync with it!

If you are joyful, the world will look like a wonderful place to exist, experience, express and evolve. A gentle reminder of value of a simple ‘free’ smile to you. Spread it; let it fly to distant places. Bring joy to this world. Bring peace to this world. Be joyful, be peaceful. Be the smile you wish to see all around you.
