One time I was going to a lot of trials in my life because everyone does. Whether you’re living for a spiritual purpose or a material purpose or anything else. The nature of the world is, there’s going to be challenges, there’s going to be setbacks. Because just like there’s two sides of a coin, in America we call it heads or tails, so similarly life is like a coin, and wherever this happiness the other side is distress. There’s health, there’s disease, honor, dishonor, pleasure, pain, success, failure, birth, death. It’s a world of dualities. And that coin is always going to flip over and there’s not that much we can do about it, however much we know, however much we have. There’s a little space between the heads and the tails, the rim. And in that place we actually find balance. And that’s very important, that balance between people. The balance, the harmony between the body, the mind and the spirit. That’s the place where our relationships can be real, can be fulfilling and can be sustainable.
