Synopsis As long as a person is alive, he or she comes into contact with different things and beings and circumstances. Nobody in the world can, even for a moment, live without coming into contact with the objects of the world outside, or at least with his or her own thoughts and ideas. Thus, not by choice, but by the compelling law of life, every one of us must meet our world of circumstances at every moment of life. If we are efficient in meeting our own world-if we have ready dexterity, decisiveness, firm will, balance, equanimity, and right understanding-no situation in life can break or enslave us. But unfortunately many among us succumb to the apparent threats of life's situations and become shattered personalities.
