The Crux of Living in Balance

The pain caused as part of our prabdha karma cannot be mostly avoided. Every human being has to go through it. The pain is caused by the emotional swing attached with the events happening in our life. The intensity of pain can be modified depending upon the knowledge level we are living or in other words the perspective with which we see the event. some of us might amplify the pain and other may be able to nullify it. Even though at the higher spiritual level we say that, these are all drama and illusion and nothing is actually happening; while we are going through it, its almost impossible to view with that perspective unless we have woke up.
But the actual problem happens after the event has passed by. The memories which the event had created will start playing in our minds and we will underplay ourselves, lose confidence and find it difficult to get back to our feet and face the life again. This is the suffering attached to the event and its a mind construct working on memories. This is the place we have to apply the knowledge that whatever has happened is a lesson for us and it has passed by. With that knowledge we should strive to stand on foot with the base as love and kindness.We are love and compassion. We might have displaced from the center because of the event and its emotional turbulence, but still the knack of life is to bring back ourselves to our center with the knowledge of life. This is the crux of living in balance.
