Source of joy and sorrow
Between light and shadow stands the self —
not a seeker, but the source.
No hand outside us grants delight or despair;
they bloom and fade within the heart’s own course.
“सुखस्य दुःखस्य न कोपि दाता” —
none is the giver of joy or pain.
The sun and storm both rise from within;
the soul learns, falls, and rises again.
