What is a conflict?
It is the disparity the mind feels between what it wishes to see and what it sees, like what Arjuna encountered in Kurukshetra. In fact, conflicts help you discover true nature of the world, its inherent contradictory notes.
Beneath any conflict reigns its resolution too.
Everything of the mind – be its reaction, urge or impulse – is like a wave in the sea. Even tsunamis subside and recede, leaving the earlier expanse and depth, unshakeable and stable. As the saying goes: after the storm there will be a calm. Our mind is like a sentient sea. In it, all waves of conflicts and contradictions will subside. You will find a solution. Or, the mind will dissolve them, to survive with greater majesty.
Let not your mind be small like a pond or a well. Not like a lake even. Let it be far greater. Think of it as having a sea or an ocean dimension. A number of waves and breakers arise in the sea. But the sea is not displaced by the waves and breakers. Even after a typhoon, the water will have to recede into the sea. You can raise your mind to still higher dimension – have a spatial mind.
Your mind produces thoughts. It generates emotions. Understand that the source is far greater than what it produces. Conflict is what the mind senses now. For the conflicts, the same mind, which has got much deeper, vaster, and loftier dimensions, has a solution too. Look for that solution.
