"この世界は私たちが強くなるために来る大きな体育館です"
— Swami Vivekananda
Simplified Meaning:
Life is like a big training center where we face different challenges to build our inner strength. Think about how people go to a gym to lift weights and exercise to grow their muscles. Similarly, we go through tough situations, problems, and experiences to grow stronger mentally and emotionally. For example, when someone learns from a failure, like not getting a job they wanted, and tries again, they become more resilient and better prepared for future challenges. The idea is that every difficulty we face gives us a chance to improve ourselves. Just like exercising makes our bodies stronger, dealing with life's ups and downs makes our character stronger. Following this idea, one can look at problems as opportunities to learn and grow rather than just bad luck.
