Give up your problems
A spiritual discourse on overcoming personal suffering and ego.
"All the problems you have, my dear, have no solution... But there is only one way... to become free from these problems: just to drop them, say goodbye, that's all."
"Your enemy is yourself, and your friend is yourself. Your liberator is yourself. And this you shall try to realize during this whole week."
Swami Avatarpuri addresses a gathering, asserting that worldly desires and problems are inherently unsolvable and that freedom comes only from utterly abandoning them. He contrasts the fixed nature of animals with the human capacity for change, urging positive thought and speech. He explains that the Master's words are like an arrow meant to pierce the ego, referencing a devotional song by Lāla Nañjī Mahārāja and noting that those who feel personally targeted should understand the teaching is universal.
