Question

Translate the following passage into English:
जीवन में शांति लानी है तो तीन प्रकार के विष से हमें मुक्त होना पड़ेगा । ये तीन विष क्या हैं ? हमारे जीवन में आनेवाली विषम परिस्थितियाँ विष हैं । ये जीवन में आएँगी ही । मुक्त भाव से इन्हें स्वीकार करना है ।

Hint:

When translating from Hindi to English, focus on conveying the core message (the 'भाव') rather than a strict word-for-word translation. Sometimes, a single Hindi word like 'विषम' can be translated in several ways (adverse, difficult, challenging), so choose the one that best fits the context.
