It’s been a long-time since my last post. Last few days have been really busy and quite disturbing..! I wanted to share quite a few views, which have lost their relevance.
Day before yesterday while reading the newspaper an article with few food statements caught my attention. It was food for thought. I was connecting those enlightening statements to my current situations with all regards.
But, my inner-self was not ready for my adaptation.
Folks, find my adaptation of those enlightening statements…….at this point in time! Just for fun!
Bold: by Osho
Whenever you have a problem, just look at it.
I’ve been simply looking at it…!
Problems are fictitious; they don’t exist.
Fictitious? I don’t know why these are real for me… and I am facing the heat!
Just go around the problem, look from every angle, how can it be? It is a ghost…
Does it really look like a ghost? Naah….
You wanted it, that’s why it is there. You asked for it, that’s why it is there.
Why should I want it? Does anybody want any problem? And, when did I ask for it?
You invited it, that’s why it is there.
Definitely I didn’t invite it….! I don’t know how and why it started making its presence..!
Next time you are having a problem, look into it, look hard into it.
I am going to do that….! I feel only looks don’t solve the problem……!
Look into it as a here-now thing, just enter into it. Don’t think about causes, reasons. Just watch the problem as it is.
Unknowingly, I’ve already entered into it and been watching the problem as it is… and also thinking about the causes and reasons…it’s time to resolve or retort.
And you will be surprised that looking hard into it, it starts dispersing. Go on looking into it and you will find it has gone.
Hope so, OSHO!
I know what you were referring to. Osho is right in one way. Most of the troubles are invited by us. We take very small things and brood over them for years and make them big.
The best way to solve a problem is to ignore it.
Those suggestions by Osho are a little too heavy to practice. My policy is to do an unbiased third-party analysis of any problem / tricky situation I get into. The other thing that helps is discussing it with someone who is no where related to the whole issue.
@vinay:I feel the best way to solve the problem is to accept that it exists and try solving it. Ignoring doesn’t solve the problem and it hits back after sometime. You can’t ignore it for many times.
@lazybug: The third-party analysis ( I guess, there are two more parties
)) – If the third party ignores one party, and if it gets into defensive mode for the other, then what should be done? Second advice is better, discussing it with someone who is not releated to the whole issue and who has interest to know all the facts from both the parties and to solve the problem. Sometimes, though you explain each and every situation, he may not understand the problem as he doesn’t live with it. His advice is totally subject to his rationale. Both the Parties must have great faith in him.
