Joy and sorrow exist because they are opposing emotional experiences. There is no joy without sorrow.There is no sorrow without joy. I am human and I always expected joy to enjoy permanence and sorrow to be cursed with impermanence. Sixty seven years has taught me that both of them follow nature’s law of Impermanence. I have been introspecting on this thought “ Who is my best teacher ? Joy or sorrow?” I was in a meditative mood at dawn and this pearl of wisdom unfolded itself from my soul. “Joy has never been my best teacher,because ,
when I was joyful , I was drowned in happiness and was floating in the clouds of ecstasy. Joy never provoked me to introspect but made me only experience the fantasy of those moments. Sorrow, on the other hand provoked me to introspect and learn a truth in life . Sorrow infused into my arteries the power of acceptance, resilience and introspection. Sorrow translated the maya of sight in me into the reality of the vision. This transformation elevated me to the peaks of enlightenment. I may be wrong ,but I should confess that I am not the author of this post. If you have any queries please feel free to contact HIM for clarification.
