Welcome sorrow just as you welcome happiness. In fact the happiness that you derive out of pleasure is negligible compared to the happiness that results from difficulties. History is replete with examples of people who stand testimony to this fact. All noble and ideal people had to undergo ordeals before they experienced happiness. Na sukhath labbyathe sukham (happiness is not derived from happiness). It is derived from pain and suffering, but people want only happiness, not difficulties. This is quite contradictory to the principles of spirituality. People should understand this truth. People desire the fruits of meritorious deeds but do not perform any. Nobody wants the fruits of sinful actions, yet they indulge in them! Whatever you want to achieve, you can do so by proceeding along the right path. Do not go on the wrong path if you are not prepared to face the consequences of it.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
