Passage 7

In English

There is a very good example for this. When man is happy and getting on well, nobody will go and ask him why he is happy; but when man is steeped in sorrow, others will go and ask him why he is in sorrow. Here we see that sorrow is something which is not natural. Happiness and bliss are natural to us. Truly, while being the embodiments of and while being naturally wedded to bliss and happiness, yet because of our connection with the external world, we sometimes suffer from sorrow. All sorrow is something like a passing cloud.
