“Can’t you see any beauty in sadness? Meditate over it. Next time, when you are sad don’t fight with it. Don’t waste time in fighting—accept it, welcome it, let if be a welcome guest. Look deep into it with love, care…be a real host! And you will be surprised— you will be surprised beyond your comprehension—sadness has a few beauties that happiness can never have. Sadness has depth, and happiness is shallow. Sadness has tears, and tears go deeper than any laughter can ever go. Sadness has a silence of its own, a melody, which happiness can never have. Happiness will have its own song but more noisy, not so silent.”
