English Translation

When does one find joy? When does one lament? Neither happiness nor sorrow is permanent, as individuals fluctuate between these states, reflecting the transient nature of life and emotions.

हिंदी अनुवाद

कब कोई आनंद महसूस करता है? कब कोई शोक करता है? न तो खुशी स्थायी है और न ही दुःख, क्योंकि व्यक्ति इन अवस्थाओं के बीच परिवर्तित होते रहते हैं, जो जीवन और भावनाओं की अस्थायी प्रकृति को दर्शाता है।
