Root cause of Depression and Anxiety in life.

Someone asked Sri Sri Ravishankar (Gurudev) that - What to do when everything around us starts to feel like a dream and superficial?

This is what Gurudev answered with-

When everything starts to appear superficial and dreamy, realize that you are waking up to the universe.

When we are really woken up, everything do appears to be a long dream, and that is the true reality.

When we all accept that everything around us is momentary and transactional we will wake up to a new paradigm of wisdom in life.

The life full of happiness and contentment.
The life with a bigger perspective.

When the life has no set goals, it feels empty and meaningless, and gives way to depression and anxiety.

But when you have bigger goals in life like, working to make this world and environment better than before, so that the planet is still healthy and livable when the next generation arrives, it will give you a sense of purpose and meaning in life.

The lack of direction and purpose in life is the root cause of depression and anxiety, and the simplest way to tackle this is to have a goal that supersedes your personal needs.

40% of the planet earth is depressed as per the recent survey by world economic forum.

Slowly the world has started recognizing Mental Health as a serious personal and societal concern and that is a very positive thing to begin with, but it is now time to act and not just contemplate the plans.

When we overcome our petty and personal issues and look at the bigger picture of the universe, we can take such huge steps which will not only heal mankind but will leave us all happier and satisfied.

Lets us not pay heed to the small peck of dust in our eyes which is blurring our vision of this grand universe, rather lets give way to the wisdom that we all behold and strive together towards a brighter tomorrow.

Live, Laugh, Love💓

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see? Definitely not! Even if we all look at the SAME thing, at the SAME moment, we cannot see the SAME thing. If we remove the scientific angle from the explanation and only try to understand the philosophical or experiential angle, we would know that it is impossible for two people to look at things in the precisely the same way. How we experience things, places and people around us depends on our past experiences, our mental status and a lot other internal things. Though we can try to relate with others around us in a similar settings, we never know what they must be feeling exactly, sometimes they themselves don't know. Having difference of opinion is completely normal, very rarely it will be the case that two individuals can completely agree on something, and we should understand and respect that without any ego or negative perception. We all have a different life philosophy, different goals, different learnings, We all cross paths with each other for a short ...

Don't try too hard to fit in, let things fall in place with time!

Trying too hard to fit-in in any group, community, society or network can often lead to a feeling of being left alone. It can also be pointed as one of the reasons behind people feeling lonely or unacceptable at times. But, think it this way, Resistance is a very natural phenomenon, everything in nature resists change at every level. Change can only be brought upon with gradual and positive efforts, that's is the only way, or else it will feel like an act of suppression or intrusion. When we try too hard to fit in, we make ourselves vulnerable to others opinions, we do things which don't actually align well with our core nature, we try too hard for others to like us that at times we even start compromising our self esteem and self-belief for it. This act of getting validation from others and seeking a sense of belonging is what makes us feel lonely and sad when the expected feelings are not reciprocated from the other end. A few things which I can think of, which might help you...

I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am

"I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐚𝐦" Yes! read it again, and let it sink in for a while. This quote by Thomas Cooley says a lot about how we perceive and judge our own selves. How we indulge in the act of being liked, praised and recognized by others and how we lose our own identities to become someone who after a point doesn't resemble the real us. We all start out with a dream, a dream that makes our eyes shine, which makes us all welcome the rising sun, But as we grow up, we let go of those dreams and start doing things that would make our parents, relatives, neighbors or even strangers proud. We shed the wings of our desires only to rest in the safe nests, we get so trapped within our own minds, that we neglect to see the real world. We give up our dreams of a lifetime, just so that some people will one day pat our back. But is it really worth it? Is it really worth to live for an identity...
