The happiness drug is a drug whose dose is 1 measure (0.6 g), administered with a soothing manner and understanding. It contains:If I don't do this, what should I do? (1 measure)Tomorrow may be better than today. (1 measure)It can be worse than now. (1 measure)It is better to become happy for what happened. (1 measure)It is worse to become sad for what occurred. (1 measure)These substances should be mixed in the “patience mortar” by the “invocation pestle,” then sifted through the “God-trust sieve.” The drug should be administered in the “refuge-in-God medicine cup” with “competence water” every morning. “Happiness without any bad mentality is beneficial for body and soul” (3).
