This is my favorite quote. I just love this one since childhood. When ever there is any downside in my life, i generally recall this quote and it gives me lot of courage, lot of strength.

Very simple and straight in meaning yet takes lot of courage to implement it, to live up to it. And one who internalises the essence if this quote in true sense, his life will be very easy.

concept of relativity . your pain & sorrow may be happiness personified for most people . So enjoy life as it comes instead of greying hair.

I really appreciate your understanding, Rohit. You have touched the depth of the quote. I personally thing this is the best way to explain the meaning of this quote. Marvelous!

Prophet Muhammad said:

"Riches are not from an abundance of wordly goods, but from a contented mind.

When you see a person, who has been given more than you in money and beauty; then look to those who have been given less.

Look to those inferior to yourselves, so that you may not hold God's benefits in contempt.

God loveth those who are content."
