Man

should bring under his control the source of pleasure and pain. More

than pleasure, it is pain that awakens the wisdom in man. If you study

the lives of great men, you will find that it is out of trouble and

pain that they derived wisdom. Without sorrow, there can be no wisdom.

It is pain that teaches many lessons to man. Not realizing this

profound truth, man pursues pleasure endlessly. No doubt, man needs to

be happy. But how is happiness to be achieved? It is only when sorrow

is overcome that man realizes happiness. Hence everyone should welcome

sorrow in the same spirit in which he greets happiness. Pain and

pleasure are intermingled. No one can separate them.. Pleasure is never

found separately by itself. When one is relieved of pain, one

experiences pleasure.
