Use the Difficulty!
I have one philosophy : “Use the Difficulty”
What does that mean?
When I was an young actor .
I was rehearsing a play
I had to come in the scene:
Entering a flat :
An husband and Wife arguing inside
They were improvising the scene
The husband throws a chair that lands in the doorway:
Now I had to get in and could not
I had to intervene and said:
I am sorry sir , I cannot get in!
Pat came the reply : “Use the difficulty”
What do you mean?
If its a comedy fall over the chair
If its a drama, pick it up and smash it!
There is no thing ever so bad that
You cannot use that difficulty!
Use it even 1% of your advantage.
It won't let you down!
Thats my philosophy:
Use that difficulty!
In the book "The Upanishads" by Eknath Eswaran
Michael Nagler writes the following in his commentary
Whether we live in the Forest Ashram
or Las Angeles Downtown
the job of being Human means
learning to convert our inherited tendencies
from problems into positive forces!!!
