Aphorism - 25
25When I see others suffer, I feel that I am unfortunate, but the wisdom that is not mine, sees the good that is coming and approves.
What is this wisdom?
It is the supreme wisdom, the wisdom of the Supreme. By this wisdom the present, the past and the future are all seen equally. It knows the causes of all effects and the effects of all causes. The sum total of all circumstances, perceived simultaneously in their entirety, is seen by it as Natures sublime effort to express the Divine progressively, her ascending march towards divine perfection. That is the good that is coming, everything tends towards that; and that is why the true wisdom approves.
For it is only our shortsightedness, our too limited perception and our misguided sensations that, for us, change into suffering what is a possibility and an opportunity for progress.
And this is proved by the fact that as soon as we understand and collaborate, suffering disappears.
