To protect the joy we have in our life is really more important than we think. We only really realise how important it is when we lose it.
The common expreience we all go through when we lose it, is that our life become bitter and we start to lose meaning and purpose.
We all have certain things that bring us joy, whatever they may be. These things we have to know and keep.
The thing we can do with joy, is to keep it or to transform it or sublimate it if we find that a sublimated version of joy will serve our spiritual development more. The main thing is that we have to have joy in our life, in at least one area of our life.
Of course the more areas of our life have joy in them the better.
This is a secret to maintian ourselves in Gnosis. Bring joy for some aspect of Gnosis and protect it, expand it and enjoy it. We can't ever allow the study of Gnosis to become bitter. It becomes just too hard to sustain.
In summary, know your joy, your happy place, protect it, sublimate it if you like, never kill it.
