Being Undaunted by Troubles |
|---|
Verse 621
Laugh when troubles come your way.
There is nothing better to conquer calamity.
Verse 622
A flood of troubles will vanish the moment
The mind of a wise man collects itself to face them.
Verse 623
Trouble itself they send away troubled
Who do not trouble themselves at the sight of it.
Verse 624
Troubles will be troubled before the man who faces them
Like the determined bullock that wades through every difficulty.
Verse 625
Though massed upon him like a mountain,
A man's afflictions will be afflicted by his undaunted will.
Verse 626
Those who do not guard wealth gathered and boast, "I earned it,"
Will not, in poorer times, bemoan, "I have become destitute."
Verse 627
Knowing this body to be the prey of misery,
High souls, expecting troubles, do not accept them troubled.
Verse 628
Declaring difficulties to be quite natural,
Those who do not pursue life's pleasures will not suffer its sorrows.
Verse 629
He who does not long for joy in joy
Will not suffer sorrow in sorrow.
Verse 630
He who does not distinguish pain from pleasure
Becomes so distinguished even enemies hope to pay homage.
