Divine Quote by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
“When you share your misery, it will not diminish. When you fail to share your joy, it diminishes. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with anyone else, as that will only increase the problems. Share your joy with everyone. Listen to others; yet do not listen. If your mind gets stuck in their problems, not only are they miserable, but you also become miserable.”
About This Quote

In simple terms: Joy multiplies when shared; sorrow should be private.
