Sorrows and disasters are the clouds
that flit across the sky; they cannot
injure the blue depths of space of faith.
Look upon joy and sorrow
as teachers of hardihood and balance.
Grief is a friendly reminder,
a good taskmaster, even a better teacher than joy.
Do not flinch in the face of grief.
Welcome the test because thereafter
you are awarded the certificate.
It is to measure your progress that tests are imposed.
