Worries
everything to God for one week and stop worrying. Then one
day come to me, and I will help you realize God, so that your
worries will be gone forever.
Worries are an open fire
You have to understand all this. What happens when you
ingest the medicine that was meant for external application only?
This is precisely what people have been doing when it comes
to matters of spirituality. They have not followed the word of
the Lord exactly and that is why they have worries. Otherwise,
would they have any worries? How can a person from India
have worries? (India being the land of Tirthankars and their
spiritual science) Do you enjoy worrying?
Questioner : No, I want peace.
Dadashri : Worry is a fire. One becomes consumed
with anxieties that something bad may happen. Once in a while
there arises an opportunity for a human being to become an
individual with imposing values but if he wastes away his human
life worrying, then he will lose the right to be born a human
again. Grave indeed is the consequence of not realizing this.
How grave are the consequences of worrying! If you want
peace then I can put a stop to your worries.
The path of liberation starts the moment you stop worrying.
The Gnani shows you how to do darshan (i.e. spiritual experience)
of the Lord, otherwise it is not possible to see the Lord. Until
then, the fire of worries continues to burn and people burn in
the fire of worries just like potatoes roasting in a fire pit. Such
is the life of those who worry.
Freedom from worries through the grace of The Gnani
Questioner : So what should one do to become free of
worries?
