Beautifully Said in Gurbani " Dukh Daru Sukh Rog Bhaiya"
Dukh means Sufferings, Pain, Problems are medicine & Pleasure , Comforts are diseases. When we are in pleasures, comforts we forget to remember God. In pleasures our Ego gets inflated , we get addicted to all the comforts and when we do not get the same comfort, we get irritated . All the pleasures when come, it ends up making us blind , we can not see anything beyond that , We assume that it is going to last forever. We get so busy and involved in this pleasures that we forget God and we get intoxicated with madness. Few minutes pleasures followed by everlasting pain. We enjoy for few minutes and then get punished when things which we believed were true, get disappeared .
While Dukh(suffering)is a blessing which reminds us God every moment. Very beautifully said that who God loves, bestowed them with three things Disease, poverty & defame. Dukh is remembrance of God , Suffering awakens us while pleasures makes us sleep so tightly that we are unable to open our eyes to the truth. As medicine is always bitter but it is for our betterment , it helps us to retrieve our lost health similar suffering is the gift given by God to regain our lost senses in pleasures. One who always remembers God, will take both equally whether its suffering or Pleasure,its acceptable to him, he never cribs in problems and never inflated with pleasures. Sukh never comes alone it has its partner attached thats Dukh and its cycle which has both ends so take things easy and always feel blessing in disguise.Everything is a passing show will pass by its own, we shall always feel happy and blessed.
