Listen to episode 943 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Karma & The Ultimate Goal of Life. Edited and adapted from a lecture by Swami Vivekenanda.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Ultimately, we find that misery and happiness are equal factors in the formation of character. Good and evil have an equal share, and in some instances misery is a greater teacher than happiness. In studying the great characters that the world has produced, I dare say that (in the vast majority of cases), it was misery that taught more than happiness; it was poverty that taught more than wealth; and it was blows that brought out the inner fire, more than praise.
