Problems, problems and problems. If you have been given this human form, then the fundamental aspect of life is a problem or an obstacle. Me, you and those billion people out there in this world or the upcoming millennium will surely have some problem in their life. Be it from Lord Krishna to Jesus Christ or any other gods descended here (gods that took a human form). Human life is bound with problems. So that's it? Should I leave my home or just run away from my work, family and my other duties. If I do that or if anyone does that, they would be called a failure or a deadbeat man. Then what use is this existence when problems doesn't let us live like a normal and a happy person.
Well, now comes the real fact that all your so-called problems are just a blessing. This means whatever challenges you get be it spiritually or materially you learn something from it. Let's understand it with an example. Many years ago, a neighbour called the church to report that a couple house was on fire while the entire family was at a Christian musical. When they arrived, they observed the firefighters, and the house was gutted by flames and thick smoke came out of the windows. Everything was safe even though they had nothing left but the clothing they were wearing. The first thing the woman noticed was the enormous wall clock that her husband gifted her, was now blackened from the smoke and fire. Her sewing machine had been damaged because it had been knocked over. They had just moved into a new house that is considerably finer than their previous one.
This story teaches the lesson of sacrifice and pain. Old renovates to new. Pain and pleasure are momentary satisfactory results. Be it your happy, you need to learn why am I happy, what can I avoid so that I can remain happy. These things are self-asked questions but to make you understand I have written it as such. Worry not, whatever you're thinking right now be it some problem, there lies happiness. To be honest you don't have to worry about anything. Is it money, I SHALL FIND HAPPINESS. Is it about family or social life, I SHALL FIND HAPPINESS. Your soul is different from your body. They lie together but apart.
The human mind attracts what it seeks. As said in earlier chapter, remembrance and chanting doesn't find solace but it finds a meeting with your soul. Whatever it might be, it acts as a blessing. The thing you find in this material world is not always illusion or hallucination. It is a representation of 'Brahman' (eternal and supreme). As brahman is always pure then this world cannot be impure as we carry the parcel of brahman which is situated little in us. This world is a 'blessing in disguise' because that disguise is the supreme itself. Just like how energy can be transferred from type of energy to another but cannot be destroyed or created, the same way the soul is. The soul can neither be destroyed nor created. The ones reading this book, fear not, you are imperishable, but the body isn't subjected to it because it decays but the original you which have been disguised in this body have no fear of death. So, you are the direct representative of that supreme then why shall you fear in vain.
The small problems which look like a big and a huge mountain, stand upon it and look down and say it that you are nothing in front of me because the one from which I have originated is the creator and destructor of all. We are the people of love, make love as your weapon inwardly. If you have peace and love towards yourself then the surrounding ones will automatically find happiness with you.
Be it now or later or whichever time it is, the main objective of life even though when you are faced with difficulties remember that this is just temporary just like how one gets temporary happiness after having their favourite dish just like that after confronting with the unrealistic problems you get temporary pain which is not in existence but only existing in your mind. This will pass because the supreme is within and with me.
