How does one know if his soul is happy?

Question How does one know if his soul is happy?
Sri Chinmoy: First of all, one has to know and feel where the soul abides, its location in the body. In order to know and feel the soul, one has to aspire. During one’s ardent aspiration, one’s spiritual journey, one can actually discover whether the soul is happy or not. He will feel that his soul is happy only when he sees and feels joy within and without, and also when he does not find fault with God’s creation and God’s divine dispensation.
Excerpt from Yoga And The Spiritual Life. The Journey of India’s Soul. by Sri Chinmoy.

God is all Love and Joy
August 3rd, 2008 — spirituality-
“God is all Love and Joy. The most effective way to please God and to become one with God is to approach Him through Love. And where there is Love, there is Joy. To go to my Father I do not have to cut off my hands or arms to show how self-disciplined I am. That is no discipline at all. Discipline comes through spontaneous love. When we allow our divine qualities to come to the fore, automatically the soul takes care of our outer life. We just have to go deep within and from there we shall have to bring out the souls poise. When the soul’s poise come to the fore, automatically the restless outer being becomes calm and quiet. So please try to meditate always with inner joy.”

If You Have Meditated for A Number of Years
August 1st, 2008 — spirituality-
“…If you have meditated for a number of years and feel that you are not a beginner at all, then only your dynamic will to reach your Goal will help you. If you say, “I want to have the highest meditation so that I can realise God the Absolute,” meditate on your heart. But you will have to spend quite a few hours daily in the highest meditation if your goal is to realise the Highest. When you meditate, how can you stop the functioning of your mind? Try to consciously lose your individuality and personality. If you can consciously lose them, the soul of your meditation will take care of the illumination of your life’s aspiration. Only illumination will breathe in you and around you.”
