Problem-Solving

Whenever we feel we can not decide what to do, or do not know the solution to some challenge or problem, the suffering comes in when we conflict with this, when we believe we SHOULD know what to do, or we SHOULD have an answer. This suffocates all possible useful action. If you can't decide, let it be. If you don't know what to do, let it be. Then an answer emerges by itself.

Don't be so eager to solve things. This desire to solve things, sort things out, is only because we wish to be free from the burden that the mind creates, that we believe will only disappear when a solution emerges. Don't be fooled. Don't be desperate for solutions. Keep a free mind. All will happen naturally from here.

"Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem."

- J. Krishnamurti

You may find that what you thought was a problem, or even a challenge, only existed in imagination.
