When Life Falls Apart, Does it Actually Fall Into Place? | A Buddhist Story

- When we’re hanging onto a root that’s chewed away by mice with a hungry snake below and an even hungrier tiger above us, what can we possibly do to get out of this situation? What is the best course of action when there seems to be no way out? When life falls apart, we might want to remember that everything changes all the time. Like night turns into day, bad fortune turns into good fortune, and a curse turns into a blessing. So, could it be that, eventually, life doesn’t fall apart but... into place?
This video is based on a Buddhist story, that I originally heard from a Buddhist monk named Ajahn Brahm. You can find the original dhamma talk here: • What to do when everyt...

The algorithm knows my life is falling apart.
or does it know it is falling into place?
Haha me tok
From BD? 🙂
That's good @Murad Talukdar. I have to admit I would have smacked the mouse towards the snake - hoping it would make a satisfying meal for the snake.
I like to read comments, sometimes ppl have a good sense of humor. This one here made me laugh.
I'm 35 and I'm starting my life over again this year. Lost my job, lost my spouse... it's been very hard for me, I am alone and it seems like I have no way out of my present circumstances. I know I'm not the only person struggling in the world. I try to be grateful every day, for the simple things.
I have thought to myself at times, "my life is falling apart"... but maybe it's actually coming together. The future can surprise us.
Thanks for the vid, it was helpful. :)
October 4th, 2022 edit: Thank you everyone for your responses, your kind words and supportive comments. I am truly touched, and grateful.
You’re not starting over, you’re starting from experience my brotha
@@yogotheomnigod9175 thank you
How are you doing now? I’m 34, and cannot make a decision and do not have the courage to start it over again 😢
@@VV-cj5wc Hey, thanks for reaching out.
To answer the question, I'm surviving. I still experience difficulty, there are good days and there are bad days.
It sounds like maybe you are looking for some feedback about your life situation. Obviously I don't know your circumstances, so I can't really give any specific advice. (Also, broadly speaking, I’m not sure that I’m qualified to be giving anyone advice about anything, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt.)
I do think that there are some general “best practices” that can (probably) help anyone.
1.) I think you have to try your best to be grateful for the good things. I’m not saying that you have to fake being happy about the bad things in life. “Oh, I’m so happy that I’m going broke, and my spouse is kicking me out of the house!” (etc, etc.) Obviously that would be insane.
I just mean, did you eat today? That’s a good thing. Do you have shelter from the elements? That’s a good thing. Do you have a pet that keeps you company? That’s a good thing. Just try to be grateful for that. I know it can be really hard when you’re depressed or anxious, to see the good things.
I think it’s important to try and acknowledge the good things, even if they’re small/minor. I think genuine gratitude can go a long way to protecting your mind from the chronic effects of depression, anxiety, etc.
2.) Be kind, patient, gentle with yourself, especially when it comes to making change. It’s been my experience that change can take a long time. It’s hard to change. It’s a marathon, not a sprint; beating yourself up along the way isn’t going to help. Honour your own journey, honour the fact that you’ve come this far, in spite of all the difficulties.
3.) This kind of ties into #2, but: do your best to stop comparing yourself to other people. It’s a trap, one that can be very hard to get out of… but in the long run, you’ll be so much better off when you stop setting unrealistic/unfair expectations for yourself, based on what other people have/are/do/etc. Their journey is their journey, not yours, and vice-versa.
All of this is not like a light switch; I think it takes daily work, re-investment, to really add up to something.
I’m not perfect. I struggle with these things daily; I am trying to change.
I really hope this all helps, somehow.
@@yogotheomnigod9175 Thanks man, appreciate the kind words.

That is true, but it the nature of man to go beyond what is expected and what he deserves. Man pushes himself past his limit to ensure a better future for himself and his loved ones. Animals in nature don't plan more than a winter in advance, but we humans do. I can't blame people for doing that. It's the reason why humans are the most powerful animals on the planet. But for those not enamoured by power and pride, like me, it seems pretty pointless.

No suffering is no choice. I never choose to suffer.
@@jesusbermudez6775 You're calling it suffering, so yes, you do choose to suffer. Think of it more like a challenge in a game, difficulties are there to make you a better person. There's something to win in every situation, so it isn't suffering, it's a game.
Nobody is as good as me. I am so good three times I have been called God. I will tell you the occasions once when I set a business for a complete stranger a person seeing that said to me, "who do you think you are God?, then another person said to me, "Sr Jesús, I have never seen anybody like you before, to me you are like a God so humble and now you have shown courage come back with your head high, and an ex-student would say to me, "and does God Jesús knows where he is going?"

Chris Gardner was devastated to get evicted from his hotel room. It was even sadder to spend that night sleeping in the public restroom.
But that painful experience of homelessness drove him to work so hard that he managed to beat out all other 19 competitive interns for that stockbroker job with Dean Witter. And later become a multimillionaire.
Blessing in disguise?

I’ve listened to this several times. My tendency is to completely fold when I’ve been used, abused, and thrown away because of childhood trauma. This made me remember the time my ex decided not to send my children back to me for my week of Christmas. We had kept things open because of his constantly changing work schedule. But with narcissists that was the wrong thing to do. I was in a deep depression because I had taken off the week and had plans but as usual he killed then. My husband kept trying to cheer me up. Instead I was in a ball on the bed crying. He finally gently but firmly said that I could continue crying over a situation that wouldn’t change or I could get up and get ready and he’d take me to a movie. It hit me that the time would pass either way. The first scenario I’d be exhausted and sad going back to work after the week. The second I could try to make the best of it. Going through a heartbreak with my adult daughter now because she chooses to be the same way as her dad. I want to roll into a ball, but I know that I’ll be ok if I just keep moving forward and concentrating on what is going right in my life. I’m pretty easy to please. Trying to please someone who is bottomless is so draining and what I have had to remind myself is completely pointless.

I needed this SO MUCH today. My mind is always worrying about the future, imagining the worst case scenario, or dreading the past. I’ve lost sight of the present so much that I’m almost blind to it, that I haven’t been enjoying the where I am and what I have. I’ve only been imagining the worst future scenarios. I need to get myself under control. I’ll keep this video handy. Again, thank you. ✨💖✨

Sometimes life may fall apart, but what may happen next is even better than what was going on before. I know it sounds odd, but there are many lessons to learn from suffering. I almost died in a horrible car accident. My recovery was and is long, I lost my job, car, income, house, etc... I lost many people who I thought were friends. There was a point I even felt I would lose my sanity over it all. But during the hardest time of recovery, I realized so much about myself. I forgave myself and others for pains I dragged with me every day. I just had to breath and ask myself, what is the universe trying to show me and day by day I went with that feeling. Life is all about perspective.
I'm just in a very bad dark place in life and your videos have just been a splendid help. Thank you. This too shall pass🙏🏼
How are you now brother?❤
*”Pain is certain. Suffering is optional”.* I’ve recently come to this conclusion myself after a series of catastrophic events including losing my father and my home. I was unable to put that thought into a concise impactful sentence so this video has helped so much with that. This is my mantra from now on most likely.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know you’re strong and you got this! I’m happy that you have found a mantra that helps you :) you are so strong and things will get better
Pain IS suffering. "Pleasure is certain. Happiness is optional." See how fking stupid that sounds.
This one is definitely worth watching twice, at least for me. The message is stoic, be at peace with the inevitable change around us, when it is good, enjoy, for we know the ebb and flow. When it is bad, take heart, it is not permanent and something will change for the better. The waves of life like the waves on the shore..
🙏 True
Basically "amor fati"
@@t-bone6467 I suppose that's right. Why obsess over the unchangeable?
Jesus died for our sins and was buried. On the third day, God raised Him from the dead. Believe in Him and what He has done for us and receive the free gift of salvation. God bless you.
i'm not convinced by the idea that "when it is bad, it is not permanent". some people end up living years of misery only to then die. this is where i am not convinced by the video.
what i searched in youtube is "would things really fall in place?", and i was already expecting at the back of my mind Einzelganger has something for this. I love the story of the man in the well, that the future and our perception of it and preparation for it are things that we should be mindful of rather than the suffering. Thanks once again mate!
Thank God, I stumbled into this when I was at my lowest ebb. How very timely this was... I was jolted back to life.🙏🏼🙏🏼😥😊

It was difficult to get over it, but now that I'm on the other end I thank God they are out of my life. It was an eye opener and taught me how to navigate away from users in my life.
They gave you freedom 😉
I feel u man am falling down myself
same but im grateful to be free from all of the users in my life, the attachments set me free. I have so much better relationships now with people that actually care about my well being, people that dont put their well being over mine. Its a blessing, ain't It ?
It's showed up on my recommendation when I'm feeling dejected.....
Truly made me calm..... hopefully I'll heal from the pain I'm going through 😔
“Pain is certain, suffering is optional “. Well said.
The future NEVER plays out how we imagine it. The way we imagine things has a 100% fail rate, it might be similar but it's never ever the same as we imagine it, yet we give our imagination so much credit. It's pretty stupid how much credit we do give it when you see just how unreliable it actually is hahaha.

Reminds me of the ancient story of the farmers horse running away but returning with another horse with it. Life certainly seems to fall into place instead of having "bad luck" or "good luck".

Wow, recent events occurred that affected me negatively and this shows up. Maybe it does.
And it's called social distancing,fool🏳️🌈
I am feeling glad that such videos exists in the world.
I sure needed this video today. Thank you for your videos.
I’m currently facing a very hard financial situation and I’ve been stressed all day overthinking about how this could only get worse ... I’m watching this video before I go to bed and I for the first time today, feel calm, relaxed and suddenly clear minded enough to find a solution to turn my situation around, I’ll come back and edit this comment once I over come this obstacle 🙌🏻
In the story actually the situation solves by itself. Without the man having to do anything about it. The video states that the situation can get really painful. The video is actually for when there's nothing we can do..
How are you
This was such a good lesson in fears, expectations, perspectives and faith in the future. I have struggled with my last year of university, grades have been slipping, relationships and opportunities lost, and just overall quality of education and life have been less than ideal. I have seen my grades drop, depression set in and anxiety take me over. This was SO helpful and adjusted my perspective so it's more about the "big picture". If I don't graduate with honours, don't get a MSc/ MIM, maybe there are other options I'm not seeing being so hyper focused. Anxiety gave me tunnel vision and his video broadened it! Thanks so much for this and all your content! Sincerely, a new subscriber. (Greetings from 🇨🇦)
This channel has been so important for me for the past months, quite the impact
You have no idea how much this just helped me. Thank you
I asked my 12 year old son, "How come you are so (emotionally) consistent all the time?"
He replied, "Have no expectations."
That's something else, ain't it? It always seems like kids are tapped into something lol
3 years ago my wife took off with my two very young girls at the time about 6 hours away, we would still meet up to exchange kids so they could see me, in the first time I had my children on my own my 4 year old one day caught me crying, I didn't want her to see that but she looked at me and said "it's okay daddy, its only the beginning" it was enough to make me turn as white as a ghost, she had no idea why I was crying, but it was like she was tapped into to something. Life is strange and wonderous sometimes.
Robot One - really? Your 12 year old said "have no expectations"? Come on!😆🤭 Stop it!😆😆
Bullshit HAHAHA
He's like a Buddha
I always go back to an interview with reggae artist Bob Marley from time where he explained that when he was piss poor, he never saw it as being poor. He even goes as far to say that he never once felt like he suffered and it was all state of mind. This is coming from a mind who grew up in one of the poorest areas in Jamaica. He had no family, no support, nothing. Can only imagine the level of consciouness you have to be at, to come to a conclusion like that at a young age.
he had no family?
To be alive and not suffering is enough.
Some people should do some research on why Jamaica is poor,the algorithm in reggae music is called the off beat,I hope it's not dancehalls fault🇯🇲🦇💲❌
Honestly. I really needed this today. I was freaking out about something.
Thank you.
Overcoming depression.. came long way.. and long way to go..
Everyone has their own problems, but I think it's always about the state of mind and perceptions. Feed your mind with positive thoughts, accept whatever happened and focus on your health and next move, and have faith😊😇 sending love and blessings to all of you 🙏😇
Whenever things change for me and get better I’ll appreciate this video for teaching me to stay down for the come up no matter how bad shit gets
When life falls apart,it is actually falling into place. Love it!
Found this video at the right time. Thank you for making these videos. ❤️
I've been having a tough week ... Finding this video is truly a blessing ...
