How to be happy amidst your worries – Sathya Sai Speaks Be happy always!! One may say, “Swami! How is it possible to stay happy always amidst the problems and hurdles of day-to-day life?” Will worrying bring a solution to a problem? No! Then why should one worry? Be happy! This happiness will keep worry far away. When one worries, one is only adding to the problems. Never worry. One must take whatever comes in one’s life as God’s gift. Even the difficulties are God’s gift. “The pleasure is an interval between two pains!” There lies the happiness between the two pains. Without pain, one cannot know the value of pleasure. Without darkness one cannot know the value of light. Hence, difficulties are also God’s gifts. Quinine mixture is given to the person suffering from malaria fever. It is very bitter, but this bitter medicine, when taken in, cures malaria. One cannot expect the medicine to be sweet and still get rid of the malaria. Therefore, even the difficulties give joy later! One should be joyful ever to get bliss and to set an ideal for others to follow. Divine Discourse, 19 July, 1997 #sathyasai #saibhakta #saimaa
