Can spiritual practice let me escape problems with work, family, and life?

No. Taking up spiritual practice does not remove the need to face unresolved problems in work, family, and life. A temporary change of place may feel easier, but if your approach has not changed, the same difficulty can appear in the next place. Even if you first concentrate on spiritual exercises, when the circumstances are right you still need to return and address those matters.

I know a friend who worked diligently but wanted to leave when a supervisor sought to promote them and give them more responsibility. The same process repeated after changing jobs. The issue was therefore more than where to find the next job. It was why the person kept resisting responsibility. Relationships and finances can be similar. If the way you relate to people or spend money does not change, a new partner or another financial challenge can bring familiar problems again.

Everyone has different lessons to learn, as some study language while others study mathematics. Instead of continually envying other people's assignments, first do your own work well. If you lack confidence at present, you can seek help from parents, elders, or siblings. Religion also offers different forms of help, some through rituals and some through guidance for the mind. It still depends on what you truly need.

Facing problems does not mean forcing yourself to solve everything immediately. I have said that we should face matters and deal with them; if something truly cannot be resolved, leave it for now and return to it later. Recognizing that the problem remains and being willing to return differs from continually refusing to look or listen. Do what you can first. Gradually learning to face, accept, and handle things allows us to grow.
