How Do We Face Problems?
The General Message of the Lecture
This lecture focuses on the spiritual and wise way of facing problems, emphasizing that the issue is not the existence of problems, but the way we deal with them. Sadness, disturbance, nervousness, or wrong solutions do not solve problems but rather increase their complexity. The correct path is wisdom, treating the causes, and relying on God.
️ Spiritual and Educational Summary
- The inevitability of problems and how to deal with them
There is no human being without problems, but the danger lies in facing them with sadness, crying, inner disturbance, or nervousness, as these methods solve nothing and may cause psychological and physical illnesses. - The danger of solving problems through sin or deceit
Solving problems through deception, lying, violence, or any sin may give a temporary result, but it leads to greater spiritual and moral harm, as seen in the story of Ahab and Jezebel. - The importance of treating causes, not results
Wisdom requires searching for the true cause of the problem and treating it, not merely addressing its outward appearance, whether in relationships, family life, or practical matters. - Rejecting violence and oppression
Violence, coercion, and psychological pressure do not produce real solutions because they impose external compliance without inner conviction. Persuasion and kind words are far more effective. - The role of wisdom and counsel
A wise person solves problems with a calm mind. If wisdom is lacking, seeking good counsel from a rational person or a spiritual father is essential. - Considering the nature of people and circumstances
Solving a problem must take into account the mentality of the other person, their psychological state, and the appropriate timing. Not every solution suits every person or situation. - Patience and allowing time
Some problems require time, patience, and temporary distance until emotions settle, as happened with Jacob and Esau. - Prayer and faith
Prayer, fasting, faith, and reliance on God are the greatest means of solving problems. God is able to turn evil into good and grant inner peace and complete trust.
