If no waves arise, water will settle of itself.
If no shadows cross it, the mirror will naturally be bright.
Thus, the heart cannot be made pure, for if one but avoids muddying elements, purity will appear on its own.
Thus, joy should not necessarily be sought after, for if one but avoids those things that cause suffering,
Joy will exist on its own.

I sought the truth of happiness and this is what I found. Happiness is not a destination, but the condition of heart and mind in which we journey. We 'stir up' our hearts and minds to look for the impure and unclean in order to rid ourselves of them. Having done this, we continue happily on our journey.
