What is a Problem?

A problem is usually defined as an inconvenience caused to a person or persons. But the inconvenience is a parameter of the mind, which is in turn relative to the predisposition of the personal character and spiritual maturity of the person affected. So in an ideal scenario, where the mind is calm and emotionally dead, or at least to the lower base emotions but active to the higher circuits of joy and bliss, the effective recognition of a situation as a problem does not occur. In such cases, what is deemed to be a problem is only an event or a learning experience from which the greater significance of human life is clearly understood.

Only those people who are of a narrow outlook towards all that they perceive, are quick to proffer an opinion and try to force their views onto others. This is but an engagement of their ego and not the revealing of their true nature; their true nature is buried under layers and layers of social conditioning and moral garbage that they are virtually incapable of seeing the significance in all life experiences. Such people find only problems constituting their daily excursions and more often than not, these are the very same ones who end up being a problem to others.

To the man who has died to the petty indifference of the world and opened his real nature to all of existence, there is no such thing as a problem nor an event that causes him perverse pleasure or inconvenience. For such a soul all of life is a learning experience, and being dead to all the base emotions that crowd the mind of man the animal, this entity becomes larger than life and rises to new heights in our evolution.
