' The Suffering of others '...

It is always hard to watch others who are near and dear to him suffer,

but he must not let go of his own inner faith and peace,

however little they be, because of having to witness such suffering.

It ought not to take him by surprise if he remembers that earthly life is usually a mixture of pleasure and pain,

and that only in the Overself is there lasting happiness.
