What is sorrow?
Whenever anything goes contrary to our
wishes there is sorrow.
Whenever we do not get what we want,
there is sorrow.
Whenever we get what we do not want there
is sorrow.
On one side of desire there is happiness, on
the other side, sorrow.
This is so, even as sunlight is surrounded by shadows – your
own shadow included.
Desire gives birth to happiness and sorrow.
And both vanish when you come to accept
everything as a measure of His Will.
Then, there is neither happiness nor sorrow
– only peace, everlasting Peace.
