Wisdom Joy Sorrow

More From Michel De Montaigne

Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. if we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.
Spiritual Agony Joy
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.
Hands Sorrow Able
This is not to say that joy is a compensation for loss, but that each of them, joy and loss, exists in its own right and must be recognised for what it is ... so joy can be joy and sorrow can be sorrow, with neither of them casting either light or shadow on the other.
Loss Light Joy
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. some of you say, "joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "nay, sorrow is the greater." but i say unto you, they are inseparable. together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Heart Joy Sorrow
Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
Please don't wait until the doctors tell you that you are going to have a baby to begin to take care of it. it is already there. whatever you are, whatever you do, your baby will get it. anything you eat, any worries that are on your mind will be for him or her. can you tell me that you cannot smile? think of the baby, and smile for him, for her, for the future generations. please don't tell me that a smile and your sorrow just don't go together. it's your sorrow, but what about your baby? it's not his sorrow, its not her sorrow.
