All the words in this section
are as spoken by Swamiji. Reading them carefully and trying to understand
them deeply will bring about a radical change within us. When we
transform inside, the outside transforms automatically.
Dont Worry, be happy!
What
is worry? Either of the 2 things happens all the time in us –
Speaking outside as in a conversation or speaking inside us that
is thoughts. Some of these thoughts irritate or dis-ease us. This
is what is called worry. If the cause for the worry lies outside,
there should be at least one man free from worry? No! Worry seems
to be a universal quality in man. One man says “I am worried
because I am not blessed with a child” while another man says
“I am worried because of my child!"
A survey was conducted on the internet to determine the most commonly
found disease of this century. The results showed that the disease
was not cancer or aids but was depression or worry. Anything from
outside can be said as the quantity of your life while anything
from inside is the quality of your life. The chatter that goes on
inside you sometimes disturbs you and this is worry. The ‘uneasiness’
due to some of these words inside you becomes a ‘disease’
in you.
You are able to control the words that you speak outside is it
not? If you don’t control your words, society will control
them! Why then are we not able to control the words spoken inside
us? When words that have volume can be controlled why cant words
without volume be controlled? If you tell yourself that nothing
can be done about the worries in you, it is again another set of
words spoken inside you which becomes a worry.
Words are very powerful. When I utter the word ‘cow’,
immediately, a figure with 4 legs, 2 horns and one tail appears
in your mind. A simple 3-letter word can bring a whole image to
your mind. Words are that powerful. When we don’t
respect words and use them wrongly inside us, the inner chatter
starts and worry takes root.
How to change worries is the question now. Follow this technique:
Watch the words that you speak inside yourself (in other words,
watch the inner chatter). Whenever the same words don’t seem
appropriate enough to be spoken outside, simply break them and throw
them apart. Every time you remember this technique, start practicing
it that very moment! Your worries will slowly disappear.
My love and blessings to you to reach the
