    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

    How to enjoy worry

    Never allow the worry to enter your heart in difficult times. When it knocks the door, shout at it to go away. Don’t open the doors of the mind. If you allow it, it is a thief which steals away your energy. It is like the dog that steals away your food. It is like the cat that steals away your milk. Food is your energy and milk is your courage. When you loose courage and energy tension is created, which is the source of all chronic diseases. Doctors say that the tension raises the level of lactic acid in the blood, which opens all the doors for all the chronic diseases. The physical health is spoiled because the mind and body are related to each other. The illness in the body affects the mind. The tension in the mind affects the body. Such tension results in the loss of memory and loss of intelligence.

    In such state you are completely inefficient to plan for the solution. Your body is incapable of executing any plan. The worry cannot solve the problem and moreover it weakens you so that you will become permanently incapable to solve the problem.

    Therefore neither should you run away from the life nor should allow the worry to enter your mind. If your realization about the unreality of the cinema, which is this life, continues, instead of worry, you can enjoy the problem in your life, which is as good as a tragic scene in the cinema. You may argue that you are involved in the life and not standing outside the life to be a spectator. This argument is not correct. The answer for your argument is that you can enjoy the tragic scene even if you are involved in it just like an actor acting in a drama.

    If you are aware that the drama is unreal and if you are aware that you are only acting the role which is also unreal, you can still enjoy the drama as a spectator of the cinema even though you are involved in it.
    Whenever you face difficulties and if you have not realized the unreality of the world (forms and feelings), there are two ways to solve your problem. One way is in natural level and the other way is in super natural level. The nature is the separated power from the Lord, which follows the rules of the logic and is called as Prakruti. The nature is separated because it becomes the separate object to be observed by God who is the spectator. God created this universe to see it for His entertainment. Even if He enters the world as human incarnation the spectatorship and entertainment continues because there is no difference between cinema and drama as far as its unreality is considered. Therefore if your problem is at the level of the nature, try to solve it using your courage and energy without allowing the worry into your mind which steals both these.

    If your problem is beyond the level of the nature, then also you cannot solve it by allowing the worry. In such case the super power (Maya) has to enter into this world sent by God. The Maya is never separated from God unlike the Prakruti. Now, only the super power of the God can solve your problem and for this you must concentrate on God. For such concentration also, you need the energy and therefore you should not allow the worry to enter your mind even in this case. For doing concentration on God, you require the congenial atmosphere of real devotees around you. Therefore whenever the problem that requires the super power to interfere enters your life, you have to immediately prevent the entry of the worry into your mind and you have to enter into the association of real devotees so that you can concentrate on God for help.

    If you remain in the association of the ordinary human beings, they will magnify the impossibility of the solution and force the worry to enter your mind. If you leave the association of these dirty people, who do not want to solve your problem and if you enter into the association of real devotees, you can easily concentrate on God for help. God will give an immediate stay because the problem cannot be cancelled forever due to the cycle of deeds presided by justice. However, the temporary stay has the possibility of permanent solution also. After the stay, there may be a chance for you to become a liberated soul by entering into the service of the God in which case your file may be condemned permanently.

    If you are ungrateful to the help which involves the super power of God, your file will be opened after some time and the punishment can be given to you in some other form so that your impression about the cancelling of that problem by God is not disturbed. Therefore, at every step of your life, become grateful to God and transform yourself as a liberated soul through service to Him which alone can give the permanent solution.
    You may be compensated regarding your loss in course of time. Thus you may recover the loss but the time you spent in worry can never be compensated. Since your lifetime is a fixed quantum, the loss of time cannot be compensated. If you entertain yourself with enjoyment even during the time of loss, the time is not lost. When the loss is compensated you have gained both the time and the lost thing.

    @dattaswami

    Thank you for sharing this deep insight about how to not allow the worries to dominate life. Is peace zero because it is the inherent nature of every being and a steady state when the pendulum of pleasure and pain swings? The lost time is a wasted time is well described here. Worries are the mental projections of various scenarios as to what could happen due to a given circumstances and they are not real as no one knows what would really play out in real life. By allowing worries inside of us, we are allowing the mind to project the effect before it actually takes place.

    Satsang is a great way to overcome the adamant mind that refuses to move out of worries. Perceptions are not real and they are part of the Maya that is created. Feelings and emotions are created in our mind based on analysis of our past and concepts created by the mind as opposed to detailed review. In real life, the mind doesn't analyze things quickly and presents only its concept's conclusion first which is not real.
