The Moghul Emperor Akbar once asked his wise minister Birbal to invent a sentence which, if spoken at the time of happiness, will bring sadness and which, if spoken at the time of sadness, will make you happy.
Birbal thought for few minutes and replied, “This too shall pass”
Are you happy now? Enjoy and savour every moment while the happiness lasts for this too shall pass.
Are you sad and overwhelmed with stress? Keep moving for this too shall pass.
Success and failures, triumphs and tribulations, happiness and sadness, life and death are all ephemeral.
