"Many ask, "Why are there difficulties in life? How long will they continue?" Difficulties are a sort of training ground or rough lessons. "Swami, can't there be easy lessons? These lessons seem to be very painful."
Bhagawan says that when you learn to ride a bicycle, you fall many times. Nobody learns bicycle riding without falling at least once. You may not say that, but your mother knows better. Your grandmother remembers because she applied the bandage. Maybe mother had no time as she was employed. So, you will necessarily fall as you learn the art of riding a bicycle.
Similarly, you will pass through many bumps and jumps, lashes and flashes, ups and downs, tears and smiles until you learn the lesson. The moment you learn the lesson, you do not mind anything. Difficulties are no longer barriers, difficulties are no longer obstacles. They are easy ... merely passing clouds."
(From the book "Divine Reflections" by Prof. K. Anil Kumar)
