How to maintain happiness? When we receive our exams results, we go from being 100% happy to 0% happy.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

With the strength of knowledge happiness is sustained.
Sorrow will come to you. Tell me one person to whom it has not come? How much sorrow came to Jesus Christ, to Lord Rama, and to Lord Krishna. But when you have the strength of knowledge, then sorrow doesn’t touch you.
Earlier, before you started doing meditation, when a problem came, you got buried in it, isn't it? Now, once you have come into knowledge and started doing a little meditation and pranayama, even though you come down to zero you get up and move forward again. You bounce back, and that is it!.
