Whatever you are struggling with, drop it now. Let it be.
You just relax. Chill. Because any attempt to solve anything in Life through a
struggle will be a waste. This lifetime is not for struggling with anything. The
purpose of your creation is not for you to die suffering, struggling with stuff
that you have no capability to handle or no interest in. The reason why you
have been created is to live joyously, to be in perpetual bliss.
And there’s no point doing anything__whatever it may
be__that will take you away from that bliss and plunge you into suffering!
This is the simple, unadulterated, absolute truth. Even
so, all of us struggle, suffer and
blunder along through Life. Because we are either doing stuff that we are not
capable of, or we are involved in something that we have lost interest in or we
are searching for something that is not with us presently.
Right from having to study a subject that simply didn’t make
sense to you, you have had to struggle. For instance, I never understood Math.
I struggled__and continue to struggle__with it. Someone else has a problem with
History or with English or with a native language or with Biology. Our
education system, at least in India, is so skewed, so flawed, that in the name
of developing basic understanding in all subjects, we continue to make our kids
struggle and suffer through what can be the most care-free and joyous years of
their lives. At the next level, either to earn a living or to conform to
societal norms, we submit ourselves to relationships which originally held
promise but eventually have stopped having any meaning. So many people out
there are struggling with jobs they hate doing but have to continue keeping
them for cash-flow reasons! Or there are those who are trapped in personal
relationships, where they stopped relating with each other long, long ago. So,
while the relationships are technically alive, there’s no relating between the
people in them anymore! Or, often times, there’s everything material __ but
love and purpose are missing in Life! So, people struggle trying to make sense
of their lives, looking for a reason, looking for love, looking for
understanding, to live!
Surely, there may be other scenarios where strife and
suffering may prevail. This then is not a final list or the last word on how to
avoid struggling through Life! But, in a small way, if this got you thinking,
then you have begun to look in the direction of joy, of bliss!
Ask yourself the following questions:
- What about your Life is a struggle?
- What should you do to just let it be!
Keep asking yourself these two questions repeatedly. The
answer to the second one in itself is a no brainer. You will answer it in a
jiffy. It may take you weeks and months and even years though to accept__and
act on__the answer to the second question. But you have to come to that
acceptance__of what must you do to stop the struggle(s) in your Life! Only when
you do that will you be in bliss!
