Life’s Lessons in Every Experience

In our lives, every experience we encounter is a lesson. These experiences can be pleasant or bitter, but ultimately, the highest purpose of human life is to realise the truth that "everything happens for good." Recognising this truth allows us to find meaning in all that we go through.

### The Weight of Dwelling on Suffering

As the philosopher Vedathiri Maharishi says, *"If you dwell only on suffering, it will become a burden."* Carrying the weight of our hardships can make life heavy and difficult. However, if we acknowledge that there is a lesson in every experience, we can start to see things differently. This shift in perspective helps us to deal with challenges more effectively.

### The Value of Painful Experiences

It is true that the difficulties we face in life cause us pain. However, the wisdom we gain from these painful experiences is priceless. This wisdom not only helps us grow but also refines us, making us stronger and more resilient. Through this process, we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

### The Good in Everything

Maharishi further explains, *"In reality, everything happens for good."* Once we understand this, we can start viewing life from a new perspective. Even our hardships bring us benefits, though they may not be immediately apparent. This understanding brings a sense of peace and acceptance, helping us navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease.
