"Sacrifice, love, compassion, and forbearance are the sterling human qualities that should be fostered, shedding jealousy, hatred, ego and anger, which are animal qualities. What is the use of being born as a man and leading a life of birds and beasts?
Man should maintain equanimity in pleasure and pain, loss or gain. Without pain you cannot
enjoy pleasure. Sorrow is verily the royal road to joy. Sufferings are the stepping stones that lead
man towards virtuous conduct. One should neither be elated by pleasure nor dejected by pain."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 11.4.1994)
