What's the Problem Now?

There are situations that, when you are not absolutely present, you suffer. You ask yourself, what's the problem now? And now means now. This forces your attention. But you can only do it if you're really fed up with suffering. Everybody here has a life situation. For some, more problematic than others. It does not diminish your ability to deal with situations and take whatever action is possible or necessary to deal with it. The spiritual practice is you deal with your life situation, do what you can, but you don't allow yourself, your attention, your consciousness, to be osumed by your life situation.
