There is nothing in this life which can be called catastrophic or unbearable. Everything can be handled with serenity. No problems are permanent. Negative thinking weakens the mind and makes it restless and agitated. Convert every negative situation into positive one by re-adjusting our mental attitude. For this we need to increase our mental strength, tolerance, will power and faith in God.
Given in this book are various tips for working in this direction and achieving internal peace and stability of the mind. Nothing happens by chance or accident. Universe has a certain order and everything is bound by a relation of "Cause & Effect". For every effect there is a cause. Whatever is happening to us right now is because we have put certain karmas to operation in the past and unless all these karmas are gradually wiped out in the form of effects and no fresh karmas are generated by us, we will not be free and happy for ever.
Never curse your luck for misfortunes, but face reality boldly. We have made our destiny by our own deeds. Our past has shaped our present and our present will shape our future. Accept self responsibility for your life. If we accuse others for our sufferings, we are simply invoking a new chain of cause and effect and making matters worse. Remember that everything that happens in our life is for our good only.
In the apparently cruel and adverse looking circumstances is hidden the Infinite Mercy and Grace of God. That is why enlightened persons always thank God in problems and consider them as gift of God. If we learn to welcome problems, they will eventually lose their hold upon us and we will become their master instead of slave.
