How to stop worrying in life?

Someone asked Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar - I always worry about Money, Health, Childrens, Future Job and am sick most of the time, how can I overcome this state of constant worrying?

Gurudev Answered-

You already realize that you are constantly worried,
but aren't you still surviving even after worrying so much in life!

You might have been worried and wasted your whole past year,
but you are still here whole and complete, isn't it?

And since by your own experience you know your worrying is futile, then why don't you simply give it up?

How to give it up you may ask?

Start by practicing Yoga, Pranayaam and Meditation - Do Bhastrika, Sudarshan-Kriya and speed up the process of not worrying at all.

And if you still think these practices won't work for you.

GO and listen to people who have more problems than you in life,
then yours will appear small and insignificant.

And if even that doesn't work,
It will work for sure, but still if it doesn't.

Go and spend some time in a mental hospital.
listen to the patients, look at their conditions and then thank god that you are only visiting and are not a permanent resident.

And if that still doesn't work!

Go to your nearest cremation ground and look at all the dead bodies that arrive there for cremation.

One day you too will reach there, that's how it ends for all,
then try to realize that what is the point of worrying at all?

Every story is one day going to end, the curtain is going to fall eventually.
There is nothing you can do about it, then what is the point of worrying, keep asking this question to yourself.

Life is full of ups and downs,
Bad times good times will come and go,
Nothing is permanent, nothing stays forever.

Simply keep experiencing life, let it run its full course.
Accept what you can and ignore what you can't.

Worrying won't help you reach anywhere,
it is better to enjoy life while you have it.

Live, Laugh and 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 ...

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 d...

Why I started writing this blog?

Ever since childhood I have been told by my parents and grandparents that whatever you do in life, just make sure that you never hurt someone or never succeed at the cost of others happiness. This thought has been the basis of my entire life. At the very core I have always tried to be a good man, someone who can be looked upon, someone who is a problem solver and not creator in others lives.  Then came a phase in my life when I started questioning everything around me, every person who was a part of my life seemed like a negative influence, every talk that I got involved in only led me down the path of spiraling negativity and I lost control of my own thoughts. It was the time when I had the deepest realizations, most of them eventually never made sense after a while but some of them had a life changing impact on my thought process and personality. I realized how people can be perceived just opposite of what they stand for, how our mind plays trick and fills the gap with negative t...
