BE BALANCED IN PLEASURE AND PAIN

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on September 13, 2012 at 7:00pm

Sorrow follows happiness and happiness follows sorrow. Like day and night both are unavoidable by embodied creatures. There is pleasure in the midst of pain and pain in the midst of pleasure. Both are said to be attached to each other like mud and water.
Therefore, the wise do not show joy on occasions of joy, nor sorrow on occasions of sorrow. They are indifferent to both pleasure and pain, happiness and joy, sorrow and misery. Knowing all to be Maya, they are not deluded. Pleasure and pain are in the mind only. They are subjective.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
