How can we accept life's joys and sorrows with equanimity?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Embrace both joy and sorrow as gifts from the same source, for it is through the polishing of sorrow that you become worthy of bliss. Treat every difficulty as a step towards the divine, and let your effort blossom into joy."
According to Osho, equanimity arises when you see that the same One gives both joy and sorrow; receive both as gifts. Sorrow is not an enemy—it polishes, deepens, and makes you worthy of bliss. Treat difficulties as steps to the divine temple, climb with gratitude, and effort itself ripens into joy.
Both good and bad days come from the same big source; be thankful and use tough times as steps that help you grow.
