To the unawakened mind, life seems like a reiteration of problems. This is because it sees problems as being caused by external conditions. The UK might see Saddam Hussein as the root of all problems, and vice versa. This is because the mind is caught in the trap of right versus wrong, good versus evil. The UK might say that Iraq must be like this only, anything else is unacceptable. This happens when one does not realise that the reality and karma of the present moment is not the ideal. It just is.

The mind is conditioned to be forever caught in doubt and uncertainty, so much so that it resists giving them up in meditation. The fear is of losing control; it is what we call 'the dark night of the soul'. It is the point when the sense of being secure in ideals, conventions and dogmas needs to be dropped. This is a stage of growth and needs to be recognised as such.krishnamurti security
