The Previous Rebbe once related to one of his chassidim: It is told about one of the spiritual giants of years gone by that on his cane was engraved the letters
gimmel, zayin, and
yud, an acronym for the words "
Gam zeh yaavor - This too will pass."
When one's fortune turns against him, one should not become downtrodden. Rather he should recognize that all things come from G-d, and further, that this too will pass.
Otzar Pisgamei Chabad, p. 174
