47- TO SMOOTH AWAY UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS

March, 1990

Unfavorable conditions only exist when we want or visualize favorable situations  and desire to live inside them.
We might feel suffering and be unhappy to live in such unfavorable conditions, since our actual living conditions are not like those that we want and visualize. However, the situations that we want and visualize are merely illusions.
To avoid unfavorable conditions, we should realize that we are living in a real situation. Real situation is actually not adversity.
Real situation is the one that we are living in. We are breathing, walking, standing, sitting, laying, eating  and else. Real situation is the one that we are never detached from; since if detached from it, we would fall into illusion or delusion.
We should recognize the real situation that we are living in, and be constantly wakeful to know what we should do and should not in actual situation and time.
