Happiness and Sorrow

 

Happiness and Sorrow are two sides of the same coin, they follow one after the other. The end of sorrow is the beginning of happiness and the end of happiness is the beginning of sorrow. When we transcend happiness and sorrow, only then do we acquire true bliss.

    

Good Luck and Bad Luck

There was once a farmer who had a very envious neighbour, who was always lamenting his bad luck.

 

One day the farmers horse ran away and the neighbour came to gloat over the incident. The neighbour said "What bad luck your only horse has run away, how will till your farm now".

 

The next day the runaway horse came back, bringing withit four wild horses. The jealous neighbour said "What good luck, now you have five horses".

 

Later the farmers son tried to tame the wild horse and broke his leg instead. The neighbour came running and said "What bad luck, your only son is lame".

 

Soon there was war and the army came looking for recruits, and the farmers son was not enlisted as he was lame. The neighbour said " What good luck your son has not been conscripted, he is safe with you".

 

 

Walk the Path

Religion, Scriptures and all Teachings only show the path of Truth, one
has to walk the path, alone, by himself, to understand it.

The Peaceful Mind

The Mind is like an ocean, turbulent, with waves dashing and breaking
itself on the shores, but underneath all these, in its innermost depths,
the ocean remains calm, quiet and one with itself.
