Everybody has problems
In life with no exception
everyone must undergo with some problems. You can’t escape, no matter whether
you are rich/poor, OR you live in America, Europe or Asia. Apparently you
must experience problems in life.
We have seasons like; Summer,
Rainy, Winter, and Spring; it doesn’t matter you stay in hut or villa or mansion,
you must experience all the seasons in life. Similarly you get Happiness,
Sadness, Joy, Cry, Celebration and Suffering, it does not matter whether you
stay in hut or villa or mansion or rich or poor or any? You must experience all
the flavours and phases of life.
Some people are in
an assumption that; I’m good at emotional intelligence, communication, people
management and so on. I may not experience any problems. No way, if you know
how to deal with situation and people, God will introduce few gadgets or tool
or weather, that will make you freak-out.
There is a proverb in Kannada
language: “ಕಷ್ಟ ಮನುಶ್ಯನಿಗೆ
ಬರದೆ
ಮರಕ್ಕೆ
ಬರುತ್ತಾ”, problems come to people not to trees. What a great understanding it is, most of
the proverbs are great understanding of life’s experiences.
When people get bigger problems
in life, first thing they do is? Going to stop all celebrations of life! They
start focus and think about their problems. When trees gets the problems they
take it in different way.
When trees get problems, they
never stop all the activities and celebrations of their life, trees life is
aligned with seasons. Assume if tree lost one of its bigger branch by cut or
natural disasters, it will not stop
any seasonal activities, such as getting new leaves, flowers, nuts, fruits, and
so on. It respects all seasons and acts according to the seasons. Tree is
non-moving being, still it know, how to move on with the problems.
Whereas human are not like that,
when they get any bigger problems, they kill all celebrations from life. They
started living life like rocks and dead particles. No sweetness in life,
ignoring all festivals, ignoring all joyful moments, and ignoring all beautiful
happenings. Repeatedly they keep on thinking about their problems or bad
moments. They keep on suffering, suffering, and suffering. Their life is just
suffering, anything they see either good or bad; they come back to their
earlier bad/difficult situations or problem, and think about the things that
made them suffer, and continue their suffering.
To live absolute life we need to
learn from trees. If you cut main branch of the tree, it uses all other branches
to show how joyful it is… If you cut all main branches of the tree, still it
raises leaves from the stem and grow as a twig and bear flowers, fruits and
soon. Tree is a great example, on how we need to take our life problems.
Problems in life are just situations.
If you keep on thinking about them, they grow bigger and bigger. If you forget
and move forward, those problems get evaporated from your life and memory. Unfortunately,
most of the people think like they are the only people in this world living
with these many problems.
Osho explains in
one of his teachings; most of the psychological diseases come to the rich
people only. They keep on going for counselling with psychiatrist and no psychiatrist can
cures 100%. They just listen and listen and they charge higher bills as a
consultation fee for their listening. If person has more money it takes many
years to get cured. If person has less money it will be cured little earlier.
If person has no money, they don't even get any psychological diseases at all.
Show me one person who doesn't
have any problems. Every single person on Earth has problems. Some people take problems
seriously, some people ignore their problems and move forward.
Presidents of all the country
have problems like; which country try to become a rebel or business competitor
and so on. Or which country may attack on their country, which terror group may
attack on them. Or which opposition party leader will destroy their reputation
and so on.
Similarly great business man's
have problems like who will take over their business, which core employee can
leave and impact their business. What new technology can destroy their entire business
existence, similarly they also have problems of securing their assets and
properties.
What about Sage? Sages also have
problems, which sage is attracting more people. Who can influence better than
them. Who will take over their entire identity? [It will not apply to the Sages
who grown beyond their identities]
Every office employee has problems
like which higher officer can influence and destroy their peace, which new work
will disturb their daily routine, which team member will overtake or disturb and
so on.
Every media heads have problems,
who can impact their TRP, who will take over their business.
Everybody has problems. No one is exceptional and No one can escape!
Once incident happened: one person asked group of people to
write down your problems in chits and put on the table. After sometime he
allowed to read all chits to the group member; After sometime, he asked to take
the chit of whatever the problem you wish to take, and guides as: it’s not
mandatory that you need to take your problems chit, you have option to swap
with others problems. Interesting all of them taken their problems chits back,
they never tried to think of taking others problems, because those are horrible
for them when compared with their problems. Because their own problems are ok as
they are known to them, whereas others problems are unknown. Unknown is not
easy like a known.
There is a saying: when you tell to
someone about your problems, two ways people take. 80% people think as they are
lucky, they don't have that problem. Another 20% people think that, you should
get these problem and that makes them to feel happy. So if you are speaking
about your problems, you are becoming a food for others. Nothing more than
that.
No one genuinely interested with
your problem, because they have their own tons of problems. Some people may take
entertainment with your problems.
So, stop talking or thinking about
problems, just move on, nothing is bigger than your life. Remember, problem
come and go in life like seasons nothing is going to stay permanently or nothing
is stable. Nothing stays forever it applies to both good and bad.
