Lesson - D0213: No one else is the cause of my problems
By Raja Subramaniyan

Statement 21: External objects, events or persons can never be the cause of my problems/ sorrow.

Without adequate thinking, we had wrongly assumed that all our miseries in life are caused by persons, objects and events belonging to the world created by God. This wrong assumption is due to inadequate application of P/A Test.

Example: While getting ready to leave for the school my three year old son cries. Therefore, I conclude that the school is the reason for my son's sorrow. Solution: No more school to my son!

This is a hasty conclusion. May be he cries because the school shoe is very tight! In order to find out why he cries we need to extensively analyze the problem then we will find the true source of problem.

Thus if we apply a rigorous P/A test, we will know that every time we get upset, angry or depressed, we seem to wrongly conclude that the cause is external.

Unless the external world is converted as thoughts in my mind I cannot suffer. Therefore, if I suffer the cause is internal and never external. It cannot be argued that creation of thoughts is based on external thoughts.

Example: Many people fail in exams but only one or two commit suicide �because' they failed in the exam.

How we create the thoughts in our mind determines whether we suffer or not.

Statement 22: I cannot and should not avoid both the creations.

God's creation is the basis or foundation for my creation.

It is not possible to negate God's creation. Because it exists

It is not possible to run away from God's creation because it is everywhere.

It is not possible to perceive the God's creation unless I create my own thought- world that corresponds to the creation of God.

My creation is the only source of my problems. Nevertheless, it does not mean we should not create our own world. There is no such option.

The issue is how I create my thought-world. Due to my imperfect understanding of God's creation, I create my thought-world wrongly and end up in suffering.

Therefore, the solution is to understand the true nature of God's creation and create our own thought-world with that right perspective.
