No one exists in this world, who hasn’t had a problem at some point in time – irrespective of nationality, caste, creed, gender etc.   One of the prime concerns of our life is to explore that problem-reaction-solution paradigm.  Unfortunately for many, they get stuck in this complicated cycle.  The first problem is not being able to understand what really the problem is.  Secondly, being able to articulate the problem to the point.  Even if one gets this step right, most of the times the reaction to the problem itself usually fuels the problem further.  Third, most people either don’t have the right source of solution or they don’t follow the prescribed method of implementation of the solution.

The Hegelian Dialectic method defines the Problem-Reaction-Solution as the strategy of creating a crisis (the problem), waiting for a call for action to resolve the crisis (the reaction), then taking action (the solution), supposedly in response, which actually furthers a hidden agenda, usually gaining power.  This explanation is usually used to propound conspiracy theories.  The source of the problem and solution are the same – and in this case, the government.

The way this process works in the spiritual paradigm is way different! …and same too!

To understand this paradigm, we first need to know that we are not this body, but we are spiritual sparks – with free will or independence – housed in the time-bound, perishable vehicle called the body.  The problem begins with misuse of this free will.  The reaction now is not in our hands.  It is the prerogative of the material nature – every action has a reaction.  It is this vicious reaction cycle of material miseries that makes us forget our true identity”

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says,

vidyara gaurave bhrami dese dese

dhana uparjana kori

sva jana palana, kori eka-mane

bhulinu tomare, Hari!

“Traveling from place to place, proud of my education, I grew wealthy and maintained my family with undivided attention.  O Lord Hari! I forgot you!!”

The solution comes from the Supreme Cause of all Causes in form of the bonafide spiritual master and his instructions.  This solution is permanent, soothing and is the answer to all the material bane.

The super secret here is that the problem is created by us.  This reaction-solution setup is the conspiracy of the Lord to get us out of the painful pangs of an unnatural position.  An Absolutely Pure Love for us is the reason for this “Absolute Conspiracy” paradigm of the Absolute Autocrat!
