How to tackle mental problems
We can tackle all our mental problems
To tackle problems created by mind we need to find solutions in the mind only . With out engagement obsessively with the material world body stress , tension and mental problem become difficult to overcome . Beyond the mind lies our emotions ,and even beyond consciousness and finally the soul . spiritual people who took the support of the soul and kept away the outside world did not face any problems . The one who lives at the level of body and mind and one the basis of other's emotions ,faces many problems.
There is a state of existence beyond the mind ,which if we access we can resolve our mental problems . Tensions and depression can be completely overcome . When faced with depression ,man can create havoc ,he can hurt himself and others . He could even kill himself .
Worry is mental problem . Even though we know that nothing can be achieved by worry and that worry is destructive and negative ,yet when something adverse happens ,worry follows on its heels .
One potential Sanskrit verse asks "what is the difference between chinta and Chita? "
Chinta is worry and Chita is funeral pyre . Not just that sound of 'n',says the verse . Chita Burns the dead body while the chinta renders the living body lifeless .
Worry seems inevitable because we do not know the truth ,the principles on which the world operates . There are two kinds of principles:
1) man-made
2)natural .
Man-made may be subject to change but we cannot change the ones in nature .....they are eternal and universal truths. Once we know these eternal truths ,we no longer experience situations; we become observes. We know . But we do not go through it as an experience .
What is the law of nature ? Change .creation and destruction are happening all the time . If we meditate on this deeply ,we will understand that everything is in transition . For example wealth comes and goes . Whatever comes ,has to go .
We have a practice called ANITYA ANUPREKSHA . Anyone who is practises this for three months will be able to worry less ,if not be completely free of worry .
The second mental problem is grief . Grief at the loss of a near and dear . The truth is that we all are alone . We have the practice of ekatva anupreaka which tells us we are alone ,we are the soul . Mahavira said " I don't belong to any caste ,Creed ,colour and gender ,I am the soul ."
This understanding is required to overcome mental problems . .....
