You cannot make steel until you have made the iron white-hot in fire. It is not meant for harm. Trouble and disease have a lesson for us. Our painful experiences are not meant to destroy us, but to burn out our dross, to hurry us back Home. No one is more anxious for our release than God.

Paramahansa YoganandaSuccess is not rightly measured by wealth, prestige and power. Success is measured by the yardstick of happiness.
