"The Key to Our Inner Treasure..."

"... is our suffering."

This is a rough translation of an ancient Iranian saying. In Farsi, it goes like this: "kilide ganje adam, ranje adam-e".

Embrace your suffering. Hold it in your arms, look at it with curiousity instead of regret. It may very well be a potion for a new you. When taken into your heart without resistance, suffering can transform into something refreshing... ultimately, something glorious even...

... even though it stings at first (and maybe for a while).
