1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 65
Nammalwar

Prasade sarva dukhanam hanih asya upajayate I
Prasanna chetasah hi ashu buddhih paryavatishtate II sloka 65
प्रसादे सर्व दुखनं हानिः अस्य उपजायते ।
प्रसन्न चेतसः हि आशु बुद्धिः पर्यवतिष्ठते ।। श्लोक ६५ 

In that serenity, there is loss of all sorrow; For in the case of the person with  serene mind, the buddhi  soon becomes well anchored

When the mind of this person gets serene, he gets rid of all sorrows originating from contact with matter. For, in respect of the person whose mind is serene, ie., is free from the evil which is antagnostic to the vision of the self, the Buddhi, having the pure self for its object, becomes established immediately. Thus, when the mind is serene, the loss of all sorrow surely arises.
