About This Quote

The ancient Indian myth teaches that before we can see properly, we must first shed our tears to clear the way. When you feel that you are unable to see clearly, the only way to resolve this is through shedding tears. It is not always easy to see clearly when things are not going your way. It is best to shed your tears in order to understand what has caused the disturbance so that you can find a path toward resolution. Shedding tears will allow you to see more clearly when you open your eyes again.
