Position of Influence

Position of Influence Every problem has a solution, but it only comes through wise strategy. If, when a problem arises, we don’t give in to frustration but instead calmly consider the whole situation, seeing the problem as just a problem and not as a matter of reputation or dignity, we will surely find an easy way to solve it. Whenever a problem occurs, shield yourself from falling into negative emotions. Concentrate your mind solely on developing a strategy. Then, you’ll see that the problem is resolved as if it never existed. POSITION OF INFLUENCE A gardener needed to plant a sapling. He dug a hole in the garden and poured a bucket of water into it to soften the soil. After a while, the water had vanished. Upon inspection, he discovered that there was an underground hole through which all the water had drained away. This principle of nature is demonstrated practically by water. Water did not try to force its way through the hard spot in the hole. Instead, it found a point of penetration within the hole and entered from there. The same principle of nature also applies to human life. Whenever you aim to accomplish something in society, whether it’s a worldly task in a material sense, a religious activity, or a spiritual pursuit, you should first study your environment to find your entry point.
