I'm so happy today by inside. something sparks within, that , ya this time too will pass...at this moment I'm happy, also conscious about that, time is passing on its way we have to utilise it to fulfill our wishes and dreams and also to do good deeds and social work and spread kindness, love and peace around us. Without any expectations as God Krishna said in bhagvat gita.
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
किसी भी कार्य को पूरा करने के लिए मेहनत करना ज़रूरी होता है। कर्म को करते वक्त फल की चिंता नहीं करना चाहिए। स्वयं की काबिलियत पर भरोसा रखें और पूर्ण निष्ठा के साथ कर्म करते जाएं।
~ अध्याय 2, श्लोक 25
You have a right to your work but never to its fruit. Life is too short to overthink or to waste time and energy. A small bad trap can destroy your life.so just do what you want and love,yes it's not everything in our hands after our efforts, but we have to try and try to get it, what we want, and at last leave it on God. It's our duty to do our 'karma' just go with the flow.follow the path shown by inner voice (it's the voice of superpower) it's a voice of our soul and its never been wrong. 'Paramatma' is with you you have to believe it. Even in your worst situation. As God Krishna said.....
This time too will pass... means whatever the situation is,it will change after some time... whatsoever is good or bad one.you don't have to worry about it. It will change after some time in every situation you have to be calm and peaceful , you have 'to exercise restraint' means to control your mind and emotion and trust the god your and inner voice.
As we can see the life of God Krishna full of Chaos and up and downs.. but he never looses his calm and always have smile on his face. Handled every situation with patience and wisdom.
This verse directly conveys the impermanent nature of all experiences — just like "this too shall pass".
2. Bhagavad Gita 2.15
"यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ।
समदु:खसुखं धीरं सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते।।
Translation:
"The wise person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and remains steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation."
Interpretation:
Krishna teaches equanimity — staying balanced through both joy and sorrow, knowing that nothing lasts forever. So while He doesn't say the exact words "this time too shall pass," His teachings strongly reflect that nothing in this world is permanent — not pain, not pleasure, not even life itself.
मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदु:खदा:।
आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत।।"
Translation:
"O son of Kunti, the contact between the senses and the objects of perception gives rise to fleeting feelings of cold and heat, pleasure and pain. They come and go; therefore, endure them bravely."
"This Too Shall Pass": Embracing Life's Impermanence
In the tapestry of human existence, few phrases resonate as deeply as “This too shall pass.” This timeless adage, rooted in ancient wisdom, serves as a poignant reminder of life's transient nature. Whether in moments of despair or elation, it offers solace and perspective, encouraging us to navigate life's ebbs and flows with grace.
- Origins and Historical Significance
The phrase “This too shall pass” traces its origins to Persian Sufi poetry. One notable tale involves a powerful king who sought a sentiment that would remain true in both joy and sorrow. His sages presented him with a ring inscribed with the words “This too shall pass,” a constant reminder of life's fleeting moments.
In Western culture, the phrase gained prominence through a 19th-century retelling by English poet Edward FitzGerald. Additionally, Abraham Lincoln referenced it in an 1859 speech, emphasizing its universal relevance:
> “And this, too, shall pass away. How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!”
While often mistaken as a biblical verse, “This too shall pass” encapsulates a spiritual truth recognized across cultures and religions.
- The Dual Nature of the Phrase
At its core, “This too shall pass” acknowledges the impermanence of all experiences:
In Adversity: During challenging times, the phrase offers hope, reminding us that pain and hardship are temporary.
In Prosperity: In moments of success, it serves as a humbling reminder to remain grounded, as triumphs are also transient.
This duality encourages a balanced perspective, fostering resilience and humility.
- Real-Life Applications
1. Personal Challenges: Consider someone facing a job loss. Initially, the situation may seem insurmountable. However, with time and effort, new opportunities arise, illustrating the transient nature of hardships.
2. Celebratory Moments: A newlywed couple may feel on top of the world. Recognizing that challenges will come ensures they approach their relationship with preparedness and mutual support.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” – Lao Tzu
Embracing Impermanence in Daily Life
To internalize the wisdom of “This too shall pass”:
Mindfulness Practices: Engage in meditation or journaling to stay present and acknowledge the transient nature of emotions.
Gratitude Journals: Documenting daily blessings can provide perspective during tough times.
Support Systems: Sharing experiences with friends or support groups reinforces the understanding that challenges are universal and temporary.
Conclusion

This too shall pass” is more than a comforting phrase; it's a philosophy that encourages acceptance of life's impermanence.
