"I shall give you hunger, and pain, and sleepless nights. Also beauty, and satisfactions known to few, and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually, and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold"

This quote speaks with the concept that life is full of both delight and suffering. It suggests that life is a balance of both good and bad experiences, which we ought to not expect to have one or the other all the time. The quote likewise indicates that the great experiences we have in life, such as charm and peeks of the divine life, are special and not to be considered given. It is a suggestion that life has plenty of ups and downs, and that we should be gotten ready for both. The quote motivates us to appreciate the great times and to be resistant throughout the hard times, as both are necessary for a full and significant life.
