Adversity
A Question on Adversity
Question: Would you speak to us about the reason for adversity and problems in our life?
Sri Chinmoy: Adversity makes you dynamic. Adversity forces your eyes wide apart. Adversity teaches you the meaning of patience. Adversity endows you with faith in yourself. Adversity leads us inward to correct and perfect our march to life. Prosperity leads us onward to illlumine and imortalize our human birth.
In prosperity, our inner strength remains static. In adversity, our inner strength becomes dynamic. None can deny the fact that every step of progress which the world has made has come from both the smiles of prosperity and the tears of adversity.
One merit of adversity none can deny: it helps us to be stronger within. The stronger we are within, the brighter we are without.
