Importance of Stopping ..

Now, those of you who are thinking its the stopping on the traffic lights.. or stopping to give some one a way.. or its the stopping to help some one cross the road.. Yes in essence it is, as all Stopping is indeed connected..
Now, Why the hell Stopping is so important..

I would invite you all to look back at your life. And I am sure many of you do that from time to time..Now, can you remember the problems you solved, the projects you completed well, the things you really really enjoyed?
What was happening when you were into all these things..
Well.. I gave you a hint right here in the question above. "when you were INTO all these things".
Cant you see that whenever we have done something to our satisfaction, we always have Stopped at that thing/problem/situation and then we have been with that thing for a good time.. We have given our company of understanding to that situation and out of that understanding the essence manifested in front of us and graced us with its beauty.

So, when we do anything well.. if you look back in retrospect..
All the things that we have done well.. are because we stopped at them.. became them.. dissolved the duality..

So, Here it is... We have a ready made solution for every problem or situation we encounter.
Now a problem is a problem only until the time its not understood well. No matter we keep on saying things like "I tried all the things I could" "you dont know how hard I have struggled" "its bad luck for me" or "They dont understand me at all, and they wont". If we REALLY sit with the problem, I mean HONESTLY be with it, so that the problem dissolves in us.. then the reality dawns upon us and we get the answers like "I actually have NOT tried all the things, as I dont even know how many things are possible"
"I actually have NOT struggled at all, its the complaining I like the most about the situation"
"I am creating the bad luck by my actions"
"I dont understand them and I actually cannot be sure that they do not understand.. may be they are doing what feels the best according to their understanding"

So, a problem is in need of understanding. I can guarantee you that you can solve it yourself .. just sit with it in love and acceptance and let us go with the flow that Stopping reveals to us..
