What is a problem ?


We are often complaining that our lives are full of problems but have we ever questioned what is a problem ?

I remember a beautiful story where a man asks a Zen Master, my mind is full of problems, confusions and conflicts, Help me !
Zen Master says, show me where is your mind and I'll help ! The man looked inside and found there is no mind ! It is like an illusion.

A problem is an illusion. A problem is a problem only if we think it is a problem.
Have you seen how different people have different problems and same problem may not be a problem at all for some other person.

Just pick up any problem, investigate and you'll know there exist no problems.
But the problem is , we still have problems ! Phew... !
