How to address real Problems? 5 - By Sri Krishnaji
Isn’t true that there will always be polarity? there will be chaos and order . Is is not the same with violence and peace?

As long as we human species live I am sure we will have all these problems. We are masters at creating problems. Where there is no problem we can create a problem. And as long as we are going to be in unawakened state we can create more problems. Yes, all these principles are true - where there is order there is chaos, where there is peace there will also be violence all that is true. But what we have to understand is that most of it is created by us unnecessarily. So whatever is unnecessary that is what we need to stop.

There are definitely certain things that is totally out of our control. But I am sure wars, I am sure destruction of nature, I am sure racial discrimination I think these are problems definitely we can find solutions to if we can awaken to this enlightened state of consciousness. We of course cannot stop from an asteroid hitting earth I don’t think so that’s possible. If that happens then we have a serious problem. We definitely can’t stop if something happens tomorrow and weather changes for some reason we don’t know. like, or if sun becomes suddenly too hot.

These things are beyond our control. We don’t know whether we can control those things. But definitely there are many many problems that we can address as human beings. The way we can bring up our children, the way we relate to our wife or husband, the way we can relate to our brother or sister, the way we relate to our parents, the way we relate to friends, the way we relate to societies, nations. I think all these, I think we can definitely address.

we don’t need so much of conflict and so much of tension because we basically believe that we are the most superior species in this planet. and that you know we can control anything and everything. But unfortunately we are not able to control ourselves and we are not able to control anything that is happening around us.

Though we tend to believe that we can control everything. And everything seems to be constantly going out of control. And the reason that’s happening is because we do not have an awakened state. So yes, the principles you are saying is true but these can be worked on and we can make sure that there is lesser and lesser chaos and there is more and more order. less and less violence and more and more peace.

For example we all know that we can stay healthy if we stop eating sugar. But none of us want to do that. We want to eat sugar and fall sick. And after falling sick we want to say, now ok I want to stay healthy. Yes, the logic that yes health is there because there is sickness, logic is there but you don’t need to have sickness. you can stay healthy, if you really follow the diet and exercise, meditate, do yoga you can stay healthy you don’t need sickness.

So all these principles are right. There is so much that we as human beings can do. There is so much that we as human beings can change. And that’s possible when we awaken to this powerful state of peace.
