Undoubtedly, “सांसारिक जीवन व्यतीत करना आसान नहीं है — क्योंकि बहुत सारी ‘समस्याएँ’ हमारे सामने आती रहती हैं और आती रहेंगी…” We cannot deny this and it is a truth that must be accepted. To visualise a life free of problems — a lifetime devoid of difficulties — would be to live in a fool’s paradise. Merely wishing them away will not achieve the desired results, for the challenges and trials we are destined to face will inevitably find their way to us. It is during such demanding phases that we must remain alert and composed in order to overcome them.

Our elders, with the wisdom born of experience, often say philosophically, “इस बात में दो राय नहीं है कि ‘संसार’ का दूसरा नाम ‘समस्या’ है…”
Yet, sitting helplessly and saying, “I don’t know how to overcome this problem,” serves no purpose and helps no one.

So greatly perturbed and over – wrought are we just thinking again and again about the problem – that we seem to forget that – ” ‘ईश्वर’ के पास हमारी हर समस्या का समाधान होता
है…” Our faith and belief in His divine ability to provide us with solutions – whenever we find ourselves in complex and complicated situations – will always yield miraculous results.

Problems in life often seem unsolvable. The mind is unable to see any relief in the future. All its analysis and foresight fail to find a solution. There appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel. In such moments, one can easily give in to despair, react with anger, or, find fault with everyone and everything around.

But, the spiritual seeker must not yield so easily. He must resign himself to God. He must accept that where he stands now was destined by God, and, where he will reach – is also in His hands. The seeker must continue to act – as instructed by the ‘guru’ — with composure, steadfastness and complete faith in God. He must act with the belief that not only will all be well later, but, that all is well even now – regardless of how things may appear to the world outside.

Only then will he truly experience God by his side. He will realise that he has emerged unscathed, even though the worst has occurred. He will also see that situations once deemed hopeless have miraculously transformed themselves into favourable circumstances. Everywhere he looks, he will witness the divine ‘leela’ of God unfold before his eyes.

Even the greatest souls were not spared from hardship. In the Mahabharata, Kunti prayed to Krishna for difficulties, knowing that suffering deepened her remembrance of Him. In the Ramayana, Lord Rama — the Divine Himself — accepted exile with quiet grace, showing that faith is proved in adversity, not comfort. In the Bible, Christ’s words echo the same truth: “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Across all faiths, the message is one — God may not remove our burdens, but , He walks beside us through them – showing us ways to make the heavy burden feel lighter. The storms of life come not to drown us, but, to teach us to keep our gaze upon Him – as He alone is our problem solver.

Once we develop unshakeable faith in God’s will – we will become aware of the fact that even when all paths seem closed, God, in fact , has already prepared the one we are meant to walk. When faith deepens, fear dissolves — and every problem, however insurmountable it may appear, quietly begins to reveal its divine purpose.

We need to remember – “जहाँ ईश्वर में श्रद्धा अटल होती है – तो वहाँ समस्या से उत्पन्न हुआ अंधकार भी, श्रद्धा की रोशनी से प्रकाशित हो जाता है ।”
