Akram Youth Obstacles, Do they hold you back or Spur you on ? | Page 6

Just look at these speedbreakers on the road. They
are for your safety. If they
were not there, people
would simply drive in
madness and there would
be chaos all around. Speedbreakers are essential
hurdles to normalize
movements and keep
people in normality. So
treat difficulties and
obstacles as beneficial only.
Comforts will make you slip
whereas obstacles will
enable you to grow in
awareness.

adashri: It is good
to find obstacles on
our way. We can
progress only if we take
them positively. If you
dislike them they will hinder
your growth. Every
obstacle or difficulty first
brings about a degree of
strength and courage to
overcome it. That is the law
of Nature! Otherwise one
will collapse there and then.

POSITIVE VISION

in adversity
Lord Mahavira taught positive vision to his
disciples saying, “When you go out and somebody
hurts you with a stick, just understand that it is
lighter compared to more violence as in fracturing
your hand. If you are badly beaten resulting in
fractures, then also be consoled that at least you
are alive. You could have been dead otherwise.”
Such a positive vision will keep you joyous and at
ease. Crying for comfort will not help. Comforts
and likings are like 'food' whereas discomfort and
obstacles are like 'vitamins'. They rejuvenate you
and make you strong.
