Why do we suffer?

Depression | SOCIETY

I am not talking about the physical suffering. But the mental suffering in the form of tension, depression etc. I am not going into the statistics of tension relievers sold in nations around the world. But they are one of the hottest selling medicines.

Is depression or tension a disease like heart attack or cancer? No!!! It is the product of your thoughts. And all these thought are related to some sort of fear. Fear of tomorrow, fear what other people will say, fear of losing position, fear being ignored, fear of being turned down… If I continue I can write pages on the different manifestations of fear.

In school, you had a different form of fear. In teenage, another type of fear. In university, yet another type of fear. Fear changes its form with age and environment. But it is constantly following you.

Sit back and relax and think about this fear. This fear is the reason for all your suffering. Most of these fears are your creation and some thrust in you by religion and society.

Fear rakes up your ego. Then you do things to feed your ego. Your failure to feed the ego leads to tension and depression.

Close your eyes and concentrate on your inner strength. Think about this fear. Ask questions. Why am I suffering?

The answer to your suffering lies within you. It is not in the hands of any doctor or spiritual leader. Find it out yourself….

If I suggest a way, you are following my way and you will only reach my suffering and it is always different from your suffering.

To reach your suffering and to root out the suffering, you need to find your way. It can only be done by you.
