As a youngster, I was completely vexed by this predicament, but I had no way to solve it or to understand it. I could not concentrate, and my moods fluctuated wildly. I remember a conversation with my high school roommate; a straight-A student who my parents hoped would have a good influence on me.

He always sat studying at his desk, as soon he got home from school. One day, I sat there staring blankly at the back of his head as he studied.

“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Can’t you see?! I’m studying,” he replied.
“Why arc you studying?” I asked.
“A quiz is coming up. I have to get good grades to get into a good college.”
“Why do you want to go to college?”
“To be successful.”
“What are you going to do after becoming successful?”
“Live happily.”
“What is happiness?”

Finally, he turned around, perplexed bv mv question. Being the A student he was, he sincerely wanted to answer the question. He could not find an answer; he just stared at the ceiling.

“What is the purpose of our life?” I asked.
“Do you know?” he returned.

“I don’t. That’s why I am asking.”

“Let’s stop. There are so many other questions to solve.”

“But everything hangs on the answer to this. It is the first thing to solve,” I said.
Not too much later, my roommate requested to live in another dorm with someone else. It was no wonder, given my obsessive behavior and mv brooding nature. Most of my peers avoided me, my grades suffered, and I had no sense ot direction. At the time, it seemed as it these questions that occupied mv mind were haunting me like a dark specter, but now I have come to see them as a gift that allowed me to really get to the underlying nature of life, in spite of the pain involved.

No one likes problems. Nevertheless, all of your problems are a blessing. They all exist to help you realize your true self.

When facing any problem, remember that the problem itself is just an illusion that stems from the false self created by the ego. Most people make the critical error of focusing on the problem itself, which ironically just brings more of the same into being.
