ROOT CAUSES OF THE DIFFICULTIES -- (2)

Difficulties are for developing good qualities like pride, strength, courage, spirit of adventure and patience in people like us. We should accept the difficulties from that view point. When accepted like that we will never be buried by the difficulties. How can we develop such good qualities without it? How can we develop spirit of adventure and courage? Difficulties are for developing patience, pride and strength. Difficulty is our "sad-guru (સદગુરુ). True sadhak accepts the difficulties in this manner. It is not possible to progress for the soul if it gets buried by the difficulties. We should know that the presence of difficulty is there to express our good qualities and this is the time for it. We already have good qualities and talk of developing these qualities is not proper. This is the opportunity to express such good qualities. How can we let go this one opportunity to express pride, strength, steadiness, courage, spirit of adventure and patience? One who understands with devotion that this opportunity is essential for his development and the opportunity has presented on its own by the grace from God, gets ready with courage, alertness and being aware.
