Welcome all blows of fate, misfortunes and miseries as gold welcomes the crucible,
hammer and anvil, in order to become a jewel. Like the cane, welcome the chopper,
crusher, boiler, pan, sprayer and dryer, so that its sweetness is preserved and used
as sugar by all.
The Pandavas never demurred when disasters fell thick upon them.
They accepted troubles as opportunities to remember Krishna and prayed fervently.
God will foster you from within you, just as He saved and fostered so many saints
who placed faith in Him.
- Divine Discourse, Sep 8, 1963.
