Life is a series of lessons and tests from "summary" of Autobiography of a Yogi (Unabridged Edition) by Paramhansa Yogananda
Life, my child, is a school. The experiences that we encounter from day to day are not accidental, but rather carefully planned lessons and tests that are meant to help us grow and evolve. Just as a student progresses from one grade to the next in school, so too do we progress through the various stages of life, each one offering us new challenges and opportunities for learning.
These lessons and tests come in many forms - some are joyful and fulfilling, while others are difficult and painful. However, it is important to remember that each experience, no matter how seemingly insignificant or challenging, is a valuable opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
Just as a student must study diligently and apply themselves in order to pass a test, so too must we approach life with dedication and a willingness to learn. By embracing the lessons that come our way, we are able to gain wisdom, insight, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
It is through these lessons and tests that we are able to uncover our true purpose and fulfill our potential. We must be open to the teachings that life has to offer, and be willing to face our fears and confront our limitations in order to grow and evolve.
So, my child, as you journey through life, remember that each experience is a lesson in disguise, and each challenge is an opportunity to prove your strength and resilience. Embrace the tests that come your way, and approach them with courage, humility, and an open heart. In doing so, you will find that life is not just a series of random events, but a carefully orchestrated journey of self-discovery and growth.
