But one treats pleasure and pain alike when one becomes the recipients of God's grace. God's grace destroys mountains of sins and confers peace. But due to the impact of the Kali Age, man has lost faith in God. He is after money and power. Man can rise from the level of the human to the Divine only by practicing human values.
Years come and go, so also pleasure and pain.
Nothing confers permanent bliss except the experiences of the Aathma. Man cannot attain peace and happiness from his actions unless he has sacred feelings within. Many people expect the New Year to confer happiness and prosperity on them. But in fact, the New Year confers on you tonly he results of your past actions. In order to atone for your past sins, you have to cultivate sacred qualities and involve yourself in sacred activities more and more in the New Year.
