Every day brings experiences. Good or bad, they all have their significance and it's wise to consider them from this angle. Life can be hard, and no one is spared; sooner or later, karma manifests in all its magnitude. So it is, and no one can change anything about it. Following a spiritual path allows one to grow, to see life in a different light and to become stronger in the face of adversity, overcoming trials with lucidity.

Thus, over time, wisdom is acquired; it's not innate in everyone, but it develops and its effects are strengthened.

Nothing is simple, ever; appearances are often misleading. One must do one's best, surrendering to destiny and to the spiritual Master, who guides the steps of the seeker in this domain, and doesn't always correspond to what the abhyasi would wish. Humans have a very limited view of their journey and often have to rely on the wisdom of their guide, who is more knowledgeable than they are themselves. All this is not easy to admit, but such is the reality: humans plan their lives and what does God do... He acts as He pleases. The destiny of each person is unavoidable, manifesting in more than one way.

Hence it is proper to learn from every experience; the wise person strives to do so and considers the totality of events by stepping back and appreciating every one of its

stages. Divine wisdom knows what it's doing, and humans must comply with it; our blessings support them.
