Why should we welcome pain, trials, obstacles and tribulations?
Bhagawan lovingly reminds us:
"All the pains and difficulties that you get will ultimately turn out as a means to give you happiness and pleasure. Even a diamond of high quality does not get its value unless we cut the facets on it. Pure gold will not be turned into a beautiful ornament unless it is repeatedly put into fire and moulded. Whenever you experience pains, trials, obstacles and tribulations, you should recognise them as paths for obtaining ultimate happiness. So we should be prepared to accept pain. To seek pleasure alone and not to welcome pain is not right. Pleasure comes out of pain. We should recognise that all pain will ultimately end in pleasure."
(Divine Discourse, Summer Roses On Blue Mountains, 1976, Ch 3)
