People who realize that they are hung up on one of life’s problems — and are incessantly being dragging down by delusion (at a base or subtle level) — can overcome this problem by thinking for themselves and asking advice from others who know. Once people have correctly assessed the situation, they can completely overcome their problems, receive clear insight, and experience true happiness.
