If you choose your problems to alibi you, very soon you will find yourself submerged in
problems.

शमथ। Samatha

Life goes on, and nothing you do can prevent a dawn or a dusk from being. But you can have
perfect control of your actions. The tasks you can perform in sunlight and moonlight are
different. The way you drive on a bright day and on a foggy day cannot be the same. What you
wear on a rainy day should be carefully chosen while in summer you can be more casual about
it. What occurs in your lives are similar to these daily and seasonal movements. They affect your
lives, but are you going to let them have control over your lives or are you going to regulate your
actions to suit the passing phases?

There are very few who have not thought that life comes to a standstill where everything is
perfect. In fact life is perfect not just once, but in every moment irrespective of whether it is light
or dark outside, but it never comes to a standstill. In your own lives, you have experienced those
moments quite a few times, but your agitated mind which prefers the dream of a perfect picture
shot moment to the vast expanse around you, wants to take cover under the natural changes,
calling them problems. This attitude will transform you into a less efficient, less social and less
acceptable person at work, family and social spaces.

Stop seeking an alibi this very moment, and take control of your actions. Stop thinking that you
are helpless, and start doing.
