पेलवं शरदीवाभ्रमस्नेह एव दीपक: | तरंगक इवालोलं गतमेवोपलक्ष्यते | – श्री वशिष्ठदर्शनं (१-१४-६) Life is slender like the cloud in autumn. It is like a lamp without oil. It is rolling like a wave and is observed only when gone.
What you do day and night comes out through your mouth. A man belches what he eats. If he eats radish, he belches radish; if he eats green coconut, he belches green coconut. Day and night you live in the midst of ‘woman and gold’; so your mouth utters words about that alone. By constantly […]

God does not give us sorrow, we get sorrow according to our destiny (Prarabdh) and accumulated deeds, due to non-abidance of Dharma in a appropriate manner. Sorrow makes us introvert and just as gold acquires the purest form(kundan) upon heating, similarly sorrows teaches us more than what happiness does.
