How does life work?
People struggle to understand how life works because it is not a fixed system
with clear rules—it is a constantly changing, deeply personal experience. Here
are a few key reasons why understanding life feels difficult:
1. Conditioning and Limited Perspective
· From birth, people are conditioned
by society, family, and culture to see life in a certain way. This conditioning
creates blind spots and limits true understanding.
· Most people view life through
personal experiences and beliefs rather than as an evolving, interconnected
reality.
2. Attachment to Outcomes
· People expect life to follow a
certain script—success, happiness, control—but life does not obey personal
desires.
· When things don’t go as expected,
confusion and suffering arise. Detachment means understanding that life unfolds
beyond our control.
3. The Illusion of Self and Ego
· The ego believes it is separate from
life and tries to control it. This illusion creates suffering.
· True understanding comes when one
stops resisting life and flows with it.
4. Overthinking and Intellectualisation
· Many try to "figure out"
life through philosophy, science, or logic, but life is not a puzzle—it is an
experience to be lived.
· "Stop All
Philosophy" when confusion arises. Sometimes, just living is the best
understanding.
5. Fear of the Unknown
· Life is uncertain. People fear the
unknown and seek security in rigid beliefs, but life is ever-changing.
· Acceptance of uncertainty leads to
wisdom.
How to Overcome This Confusion?
· Observe life instead of trying
to control it.
· Detach from rigid expectations.
· Flow with experiences instead
of resisting them.
· Play (Leela)—treat life as a divine
play, not a struggle.
The truth is, life is not meant to be “understood” in a final way—it is meant
to be lived with openness and trust.
It’s just a discussion.
