How to overcome worry

How to overcome worry

 

Try to enjoy the worry

When worry is inevitable, enjoy it and be wise

Even continued happiness leads to mental worry

Thus happiness and worry must be alternative

If you are worried by the continued happiness

You are worried at the cost of the result of your good effort

 

Instead of this it is better to get worry at the cost of your sin

Let the sin give some trouble and then you worry out of it

In this way the result of the sin is spent and the not the result of good effort

The loss in your present worry may be compensated in the future

But the time lost in your past worry cannot be compensated

Because the life span of any human being is fixed

 

Your loss may be compensated by million times in the future

But even one second of your lost time can never be compensated

Therefore, understand this and think about the value of the time

This knowledge of the value of time is called as ‘Kala Janana’

Which means the knowledge of the future that you should know,

 

Which provides the possibility of the compensation of all the loss

Except the loss of time, therefore, time is the most precious.

You may waste anything that can be again procured in the future,

But never waste the time, which you can never compensate.

 

There are two ways to escape the mental worry in this world

The first way is by obtaining the peace, which is zero

The second way is by achieving the bliss, which is plus

Worry is minus, peace is zero and bliss is plus

To escape minus, either you should be in zero or in plus

 

Bliss can be obtained only from the Lord in this world

Since Veda says that the Lord alone is bliss “Anando Brahma”

Veda also says that the Lord alone can give you the bliss

“Esha Hyeva Anandayati” this is quite logical in fact

The water is alone cool and so it alone can give coolness

Whatever is said in the Vedas, it is always logical
