The Total Solution to the Total Problem - 13. Swami Krishnananda

04/02/2017.

The whole world is a mass of difficulties.

We have nothing else to say about the world.

When we wake up in the morning and wipe our eyes of our sleep, we face an ogre, as it were, with which we have to grapple, and this grappling is manifest in our daily life right from the sweeping of the floor, the washing of our vessels, the ablutions that we perform, and our running to our offices and the various occupations in which we engage ourselves.

These are the various avenues that we are seeking to use to escape from the clutches of this ogre that we call the problem of life.

It is the problem not of any particular thing from the world outside you; it is the problem between this relation of you and what is outside you.

You may call it society, you may call it your neighbour, you may call it nature, you may call it the Almighty; you may call it anything, but it is a single problem before you.
