Man has to face the problems of life boldly. He must not run away from them or shift the blame to others. Problems have their origin in one’s past deeds, either of this birth or past birth. At such difficult times, one needs the support of God or at least confidence in oneself to live up to the situation. One cannot achieve the aims of life by renouncing the world and seeking refuge in a forest. Persistent efforts bring success. The path to perfection is through pain and suffering.
