Swami Mukundananda
How can I train myself to handle failure when it comes?
Train yourself to handle failure
Success is less common than failure, so it is important to train yourself to handle failure. Be like gold and the saints, which join again after being broken, not like a mud pot that shatters forever.
Kabir says the nature of good people, the saints and gold, is that you can break them a hundred times and they join again; the nature of mud pots and evil people is that one hit shatters them forever.
