Reality

All of us have problems with our jobs, with our environment, etc., and we hope very ardently that change of our own character and attitudes will help us to fit better into the environment in a cosmically pleasing way.

One cannot escape one's predetermined existential parameters caused by our samskaras (impressions, grossness) by artificially changing our environment. Sahaj Marg (Natural path, simple path) says very correctly that only by changing one's own self is a total change possible. Otherwise everything else is nothing but escapism.

Foundation of Change", pg.94-by Chariji.
