Building Life

English book, p. 74

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

teaches them every day that light will eventually come. No darkness can be so long that it prevents the arrival of a bright morning. There are also hardships in the world. But if someone endures the hardships, sweetness inevitably follows. Here, a person also faces failures, but every failure is temporary. If someone can bear the sting of temporary failure, the phase that leads to success will inevitably follow. In the present world, nothing is permanent. Likewise, success and failure are also temporary. Every failure is followed by success, and every success is followed by failure. Therefore, a person should stay moderate in success and keep balance and composure even when facing failure. Just as morning arrives naturally, success likewise follows failure in this world. All one needs is the courage to wait. In this world, every failure is just a temporary pause, and every success is an inevitable future event. Just as evening is certain to arrive, so too is morning sure to follow evening. In such a world, there is no room for despair. When the entire system of the universe is on your side, there’s nothing to fear. THE WORLD OF BOOKS A person with a book is never really alone. The truly lonely person is someone who has nothing to engage his mind. A book provides the best mental stimulation. Therefore, someone who reads a book can never be truly alone.
