no problems

There is a way of being in which nothing is felt as a problem. And this, of course, makes for a very happy, relaxed life.

And what is a problem, after all? A problem is something where the mind is perceiving reality to be one way, whilst at the same time wishing it to be another way. And the problem arises as to how to change reality, from what is, to what is not. This is the ordinary way of being, in which problems arise time after time. And in fact, the thinking mind loves this approach. It gives it a sense of importance. For if nothing is felt as a problem, then what is the role of the mind? The thinking mind becomes much less significant when things are no longer perceived, felt, to be problematic.

This tendency to feel something as a problem, this is coming from the mind, not from the rest of existence. The thinking mind, with its need for security and its urge to be in control, these are the aspects which lead to life being felt as a problem. But these can all drop away.

You do not need security, for life will look after you, dance with you, the way it will. And you do not need to be in control. Relax with regard to these things and you will see: You will begin to feel the events of life as beautiful; surprising, perhaps; unexpected, often; but not as a problem. Then you will be joyful in the dance of life. For what is there to be upset about? Allow what is, to be; and be part of it, flow with it, dance with it, laugh with it. Be alive in this great ocean of life, without making things into problems.
