Expiry Date Of Sorrows
sympathy.
Sorrow doubles on being revealed but is halved when concealed.
The greater the number of people asking and caring for you, the greater the magnitude of one's suffering. Feelings and affection double the sorrow. People with limited understanding, like being sympathized with and consoled during their times of sorrow. However, that sympathy and consolation will only make them weaker instead of keeping them strong.
In times of trouble, distress or pain, always remember:
'Every bottle of distress has an EXPIRY DATE written on it.'
One must never rush to the doctor for small pains or illnesses. Parmatma says, 'Every suffering is a result of your own karmas which have manifested and come into action.' In such a time, if you remain strong and tolerate the sufferings without any complaints, the karmas will get annihilated without affecting you. But if you pamper the karmas and welcome them, then they will not go. Your fever bids you farewell in just 2 days if you do not welcome it and stays with you for 4 days if you pamper yourself along with the fever.
