Only your understanding can give you some relief. Understanding individuals can bear the weight of the whole world with self-respect but those who lack discretion complain to God all the time. Only lack of understanding gives rise to misery and we cannot enjoy the joy of life. Therefore, if we want to enjoy the joy of life truly then it is necessary to know the following three things:
- In life we experience two things at once – we are happy one moment, miserable the next.
- Life is forever changing, there is nothing eternal, meaning, whether there is happiness or sorrow, no situation is permanent.
- A person cannot give us happiness or sorrow; we develop these states ourselves based on our circumstances.
