Dear friends, Did you know that gold is a metal that comes out from mines? When found from the mine it is stark black and not at all attractive. So how did it become so shiny and precious? It is put in a furnace in order to make it valuable. It becomes pure only after being subjected to extreme heat. After that, it is considered valuable. Who likes to be baked in fire? However, it is this adversity (pratikudta) that makes the gold pure and gives it value. Otherwise, it had no value when it was in the mine. The same principle applies to mankind. Adversity means difficult circumstances. Adversity molds a person and helps him progress. Therefore, one should welcome adversity with courage. In this edition, Param Pujya Dadashri has given the excellent understanding behind how adversity is beneficial. So come, let us attain this beautiful vision from this issue and remain positive in the face of adversity.
