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!

Jhāna absorptions:
