PROBLEMS IN LIFE

 

 

For every problem in life, there is at least one solution.  A problem has a way of solving itself, one can optimistically say.  Problems in life, seen through the right perspective, will be judged as trials from heaven.  Others can be deduced as payments for karmic debts one has to experience while on Earth.  Have you noticed that after one problem is solved, before you can even relax, another problem comes up?  One can conclude that life is a battle against problems.  Life is a problem-solving puzzle.

 

Consider Earth as one huge exam room.  The only difference from ordinary exam is that each one gets a questionnaire different from what others get.  The length and difficulty of the exam questions depend on various factors.  One factor is one's previous life.   Has the fellow committed evil thoughts, words, and deeds in his previous life that before his death were left unpaid and unrepented for?   If so, then difficult questions will appear in the exams.  Has the individual solved enough problems in the previous life before his untimely death?  If not enough, then the questions will be longer.

 

Another factor in the exam questions is the present life.  Has he done other people ill will?   Has he caused the suffering of other people?  Then questions more difficult will be automatically added to the set of questionnaire.

 

A third factor is one's level of spiritual development.  Just because one is higher in the ladder of spiritual development does not mean he is free from temptations.  In fact, the exam will contain more questions and they will be harder in order to test his strength, his will power, and to find out if he can still be promoted.   Those who are near God receive the greatest temptation for the evil spirits are naturally envious.  Some people instead of grieving often delight in learning about the fall of priests.

 

The questions in life's exams are really the problems one encounters in life.  Just like in an ordinary exam, the teacher, the test-giver, God, makes sure there are answers.  Most often, there are several correct answers for a given question.  God is a lenient but very just corrector.  No favoritism.  Each one according to his level of competence.

 

When one solves the problem, he is ready for the next problem.  His solution might be wrong or correct.  He is credited accordingly.  If he falls often in the exams, easier but longer questions will be substituted so as to increase his chances of passing.

 

Some people are well-developed in Intelligence.  They have the ability to picture the next incoming problem so that even before it is asked, they have prepared the answer.  Thus, when the question is given, they do not have to wrack their brains for a solution.  They have preprogrammed the answers.  This is the function of planning.

 

Some people are perennial failures.  Failing to get the correct answers, a built-in mechanism tells them they will fail again.  Their will to fight has left them.  They have resigned themselves to destiny, to the Will of God.  They have developed a negative attitude.  When the next question comes up and because they are no longer clear-headed, most likely they again fail to get the correct answers.  What is the best thing to do under these circumstances?  Take time out.  Take a vacation.   Recharge your batteries not with electricity but with fresh pranic energy from the mountains or beaches.  When you come back, you are ready for the next tough question.

 

In an ordinary exam, you cannot cheat.  You cannot ask help from other people.  In the problem solving of life, you are allowed to consult the best minds on Earth.  You can ask your loved one, your friends, your pastor, and even your enemies.  You can research.  You can even copy the answer of your neighbor!  But you alone are fully responsible for your decision in providing solutions to your problem.

 

Some problems are strictly material.  Some are spiritual.  Usually, the material problems come first.  Then, the spiritual.  Sometimes the material and the spiritual are mixed.  Some problems are the result of one's wrong solutions to previous problems.  So, one can deduce that life is a series of problems.

 

When in deep trouble and with no definite solution cropping up in one's mind, what does one do?  Ask the help of others.  Ask the help of the spirits, or even of the Test-Giver Himself.  Pray.  Pray for deliverance, for guidance.   Ask the help of your Guardian Angel to lead you to the correct solution.   Pray to receive pranic energy that will strengthen you so that you will not give up the test.

 

When you reach the end of the questionnaire, it means you are ready to present your exam sheet to the proctor.  You leave your body behind as no material things are allowed at the correction area, and present your answers to the proctor.  You are allowed to enter another room where a panel examines your answers.  For forty days and nights, you are grilled and given the right to justify your answers.  Then the decision is handed down.  Either you proceed to the next higher dimension or go back to Earth to take a removal exam. Not all are allowed to take it right away.  They wait in a room called limbo.  This room is not an ordinary room. It spans the universe.

 

As an afterthought, one can deduce that here on Earth, he is on a problem solving mission.  The more problems he solves, the stronger his Will Power will become.  You have to accept the fact that problems will have to come your way. If not, how can you be adjudged fit to be promoted or not?  You can also see that. problems are interrelated.  When you fail to solve one, other harder problems come up.  Example, if you fail to resist the temptations of the opposite sex, other related problems come up.  And each succeeding problem has to be solved.

 

In business, when one fails to solve the problem of cash flow, other bigger problems come up, like failure to deliver on time which again might result in canceled orders.

 

In summary, every aspect of your life consists of little trials or big problems.  As you solve one, the next problem comes up.  Your ability to solve or inclination to evade problems has an effect on your Will Power.  The strengthening of your Will Power is one of your goals on Earth.  The others are development of Intelligence and of Love.
