Problems in Life---- Sri Sri Ravishankar, Bangalore Ashram , June 10 '07,
Final day of the Women's Conference
After the initial set of bhajans in the Satsang, Guruji spoke about problems in our life. He said there are four different varieties of problems which everybody has to deal with in one’s life and they can be categorized in separate baskets.
They are,1 - Finance related problems: These problems include all the aspects related to the material world e.g. one's home, education, job, vehicle etc. It includes all the things, where money becomes an important aspect. These can be put in one basket. In one's life one goes on filling this basket of problems and it is overflowing in majority of the cases.
2 - Health related problems: The second type of problem one deals with is related to health. Everyone has faced one or the other health problem in one's life. These can be put in the second basket and this basket overflows as well.
3 - Relationship related problems: The third type of problem includes relationships; for eg. what people think about me; I had to say this, but I have not said; I should have given him a good reply; these are the problems related to relationships with our family members, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and people whom we do not know also. These can be put in the third basket and this too overflows all the time.
4 - Society related problems: The Fourth type of problem is in the category of bigger problems related to society, country, the world eg. pollutions-related issues, Global warming, Female Foeticide, environmental and ecological problems, corruption etc. These are in general, problems of our local and global society as a whole. In some or the other way these problems also worries human beings. These big problems can be put in the fourth basket.
Often the first three baskets are full and we keep on filling them. However the fourth basket which is the basket of bigger problems is filled seldom or remains empty for most of time.We never bother to fill it at all as our mind is already preoccupied with the first three baskets of problems. Now is the time to think of filling this fourth basket. You start filling the fourth basket and work for the society, I shall take care of your other three remaining baskets - I promise !
Jai Gurudev
