Suppose there is some difficulty in the path of a person whose aim is to keep happiness. He will not think only of the difficulty. It is not possible to solve the problem just by thinking about it. For example if you want to see the whole city of Baroda it is possible only if you fly over it. Separate from the difficulties and problems. Develop some equanimity and only then you will truly solve the problems.
One other result is the development of equanimity when the state of happiness is established. With equanimity one learns to separate from the problems. It is much easier to grasp the essence and meaning of the problems by separating from it. It is also easier to solve the difficulties in life and get the solutions to the problems in our lives.
To maintain happiness we must remove the enemies of happiness from its path. Infatuation and jealousy (રાગ-દ્વેષ) are the biggest obstacles. It takes one or several lives to do that. Instead we should not get attached to these enemies when confronted in the path. According to legend Buddha Bhagawan needed several lives to remove these obstacles. So separate your self from these enemies when confronted in the path of happiness. When we have thought, intelligence, discretion and equanimity it is definitely possible to separate from these enemies. Same attitude can be taken when confronted with sexual desires, anger, attachments and greed.
Our mind and prana becomes peaceful with the development of equanimity and it is possible to think clearly. Person without equanimity will not be able to think peacefully. When problems are solved with peace and equanimity results are faster and easier to achieve.
