Why should we welcome adversity and prosperity alike?

 The sages and seers of yore had to face great hardships and troubles before they could set great ideals to the rest of the world. That is why their teachings have left an indelible impression on the hearts of the Bharatiyas. Both individuals and society can achieve progress and prosperity only after undergoing many trials and tribulations. Man must face not only difficulties but censure and criticism also. Noble souls will never care for difficulties or criticism. The welfare of the society is their main objective in life. Embodiments of Love! Welcome sorrow just as you welcome happiness. You will attain equanimity of mind only when you treat happiness and sorrow alike. In the human body, the head is considered sacred whereas feet are not considered sacred. When somebody comes to your house, is it possible to welcome only the head and ask the feet to get out? When you welcome the head, you welcome the feet also. Likewise, when you welcome happiness, you welcome sorrow too.

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
