In order to deserve God's grace, your faith should grow, when you do not have faith, you cannot offer yourself!
“In order to deserve God’s grace, your faith should grow,
When you do not have faith, you cannot offer yourself.”
More than pleasure, it is pain that awakens the wisdom in man...
Man should bring under his control the source of pleasure and pain.
More than pleasure, it is pain that awakens the wisdom in man.
If you study the lives of great men, you will find that it is out
of trouble and pain that they derived wisdom. Without sorrow,
there can be no wisdom.
It is pain that teaches many lessons to man.
Not realizing this profound truth, man pursues pleasure endlessly.
No doubt, man needs to be happy. But how is happiness to be achieved?
It is only when sorrow is overcome that man realizes happiness.
Hence everyone should welcome sorrow in the same spirit in which he greets happiness.
Pain and pleasure are intermingled. No one can separate them.
Pleasure is never found separately by itself.
When one is relieved of pain, one experiences pleasure.

Adversity is a stepping-stone to eternal bliss...
If a man today is under the sway of sorrow and misery, his mind is
responsible for it. Happiness and sorrow, affections and aversions,
and the sensual pleasures that man experiences arise out of his mind.
Since the mind is filled with the sense of duality you suffer all
these. When the mind is trained to see the oneness of all creation,
there will not be perversions of any kind.
You should face everything in life with a smile.
In this dualistic world, it is natural that
gain and pain alternate. You cannot avoid it.
You should neither despair when adversities confront you
nor exult when fortune smiles on you. Adversity is a stepping-stone to eternal bliss.
