Our journey through life is a journey of spiritual growth; ‘when the student is ready, the teacher will appear’. Life is a process of constant preparation; when the mind reaches a certain state of readiness, enlightenment will follow.
Life is like a journey, full of the unknown and challenges. In the face of adversity, it is only by drawing lessons from it and growing that suffering becomes meaningful. When confronted with pain, one should actively seek ways to alleviate it rather than simply endure it; one should not deliberately seek out pain for the sake of experiencing it.
