Light on Life's Difficulties

When you enter a dark room, even one you know well, you are suddenly unsure of your movements, you cannot see objects around you or properly locate them, and you are liable to hurt yourself by coming into sudden contact with them. However, switch on the light and immediately all confusion disappears, every object can be seen, and the danger of being hurt vanishes. For the majority of people, life is like a dark room, and their frequent hurts-their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains-are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are dissolved, all things are seen in their true place and proportion, and henceforth you walk open-eyed and unhurt, in the clear light of wise comprehension.
