Lessons from Every Experience

Every experience we encounter in life teaches us a lesson. It could be pleasant or bitter. Ultimately, realising the truth that "everything happens for good" is the supreme goal of human life.

### Handling Pain

As philosopher Vedathiri Maharishi said, "Dwelling on pain alone makes it a burden." If we only carry our sufferings, life becomes heavy. Instead, we should understand that every experience contains a lesson.

### Gaining Wisdom from Suffering

It's true that the hardships we face in life cause us pain. However, the experiential wisdom we gain from that pain is priceless. This wisdom helps us grow and mature.

### Seeing the Good in Everything

Maharishi further explains, "In reality, everything happens for good." By understanding this truth, we can view life from a new perspective. Even our sufferings can be seen as beneficial.

### The Temporary Nature of Life

Everything we experience in life is temporary. Just as "standing requires space for feet, lying down requires space for the body," our needs are minimal. Understanding this truth allows us to find satisfaction in what we have.

### A Broader Perspective on Life

When we view life from a broader perspective, we realise that "everything is adequate for everyone." By looking beyond our personal boundaries, we can see that there is no real shortage in the world.
