why be afraid of difficulties,sufferings and problem?when troubles come,but try to understand the relevance of your sufferings adversity always presents opportunities for introspection
there exists a divine power that can lift one up from confusion,misery, melancholy,and failure and guide one to one;s true place.and once an individual severs his emotional and physical bandage,he is on the road to freedom happiness and peace of mind.
when kalam asked his father permission to study more:
the father said you must forgo your longing for the land of your memories to move in to the dwelling place of your greater desires
our will not bind you non will our needs holds you
|
his father told her hesitating mother quoting Kalil Gibran |
| "your children are not your children.they are the sons and daughters of life,longing for itself.they come through you but from you ,you may give them your love but not your thoughts.for they have their own thoughts. |

bread baked without love is a bitter bread that feeds but a man's hunger those who can not work with their heart but a hollow,half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around
