" Misfortune is a terrible reality that is impossible to deny. A spiritual teaching will not tell you that, whatever happens, you must repeat naively to yourself : " I am happy, I am happy. " It will simply tell you that during times of trial, you must never lose hope, and that the suffering that you may feel on one level, does not necessarely prevent you from feeling joy on another. And mostly, that whatever happens to you, you always have the possibility to work spiritually with prayers and right thoughts, that will enable you not only to get through these trials, but even to come out of them inwardly richer. And those riches, you will not keep them for yourself. By your attitude, by the way in which you face events, you will give them to others and encourage them to face with dignity, their own difficulties. "
