Passage 2

In English

Happiness And Sorrow Are Interrelated

The dualities of Nature such as good and bad, shadow and light, profit and loss, etc., are interrelated. Many intellectuals question why God has given sorrows and difficulties, pointing at differences in Nature. But they should know that human life has no value if there are no differences. Humanness assumes value in the light of differences only. Light has value because of darkness. Happiness has no value when there is no sorrow. Happiness and sorrow are inseparably enmeshed. Happiness does not find its distinction in the absence of sorrow. Sorrow cannot be felt in the absence of happiness. Pleasure is an interval between two pains.
