Spiritual root causes of difficulties in life<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Most of us are unaware of the spiritual factors that are the root cause of 80% of the difficulties in life for the simple reason that they are beyond the understanding of our five senses, mind and intellect. Whether a particular difficulty has a spiritual root cause along with its details can be known for sure only through the medium of a highly activated

sixth sense. Ignorance about the existence of the spiritual dimension and knowing its role in our difficulties will frustrate attempts to fully overcome the difficulties. In this article, we explain the role of the spiritual realm in difficulties in our lives.
The root causes of problems in life
In order to overcome a difficulty completely, we need to first correctly understand its root cause. Only when the correct and complete diagnosis has been made, by going to the root of the difficulty, can the appropriate remedy be given.

Modern sciences attribute the cause of a problem to being either physical or psychological. Hence we go looking for the cause and remedy only in these two areas.

For example:
Itching is understood as having a physical cause and is treated accordingly with physical medicines.
Narcotic abuse is understood as a psychological problem and is treated primarily with psychotherapy.

But there is a third cause of our difficulties in life and that is Spiritual. Spiritual root causes of difficulties in fact affect our lives to a large extent. But spiritual causes are not as easily understood, as they are beyond the understanding of the modern sciences. In fact, the World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health as a state of positive health in the physical, mental, social and spiritual dimensions.' Thus officially it has been ascertained that spiritual well being is also a component that contributes to our health. However spiritual research conducted by SSRF reveals the actual extent to which spiritual factors contribute to our total well being.

Through spiritual research, Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) has ascertained the breakdown, on average, between the 3 root causes being responsible for problems in our lives.
Breakdown of the root cause of difficulties in life
20% Psychological and/or physical
30% Spiritual, Psychological and/or physical
50% Purely spiritual in nature

Hence, up to 80% of our problems have their root cause in the spiritual realm.

How to overcome these problems?

These type of problems can only be overcome by spiritual means i.e. either through
Spiritual practice according to the 5 basic principles of spiritual practice helps to build our overall spiritual energy to combat or be insulated from these problems
Specific spiritual healing remedy performed to overcome a specific symptom caused by some factor in the spiritual realm

In this way, problems that have their root cause in the spiritual realm can either be resolved or we get the strength to endure them.
