Swami Mukundananda

How can I train myself to handle failure instead of falling apart?

Be like gold, not a mud pot

People teach their children how to succeed, but success is less common than failure, so it is important to train ourselves to handle failure. Kabir says that saints and gold, if broken a hundred times, join again.

Saint Kabir put it well: the nature of good people, saints and gold is that even if you break them a hundred times, they join together again.
