Q.153) What is the spiritual solution for the removal

of tensions and anxiety in the human life?

 

Ans) Realization and repeated memorization of the true

knowledge is the

only one solution for this problem. The ignorance is

responsible for all

the anxiety and tensions. One should know that every

one has climbed the

time (Kala) which is the running train. Death is the

station at which one

has to get down. Then every one should face the Lord

for the enquiry.

After the enquiry one will get either permanent

happiness or permanent

misery. The journey of this train to that station is

the human life which

is only a fraction of second when it is compared to

the infinite stream of

time set up from the beginning of the creation. To

think that the life is

very long itself is ignorance. Every one is sitting in

a closed

compartment and realization of the truth is the window

through which every

one should peep to find the infinite time stream. Only

on such comparison

the human life becomes a small fraction of a second.

When the realization

is absent and when there is no comparison the lifetime

appears to be very

long. First one should cross this illusion of time.

Similarly the

illusion of the place. The earth looks very large

under the ignorance.

But if one realizes the infinite space of this

universe the entire earth is

a small fraction of a pinhead. Similarly one gets a

comfortable seat and

sits on it thinking that he is settled in the life.

Another person is

moving in the compartment in search of a comfortable

seat and according to

him he is not settled. But when both these people look

out through the

window, which is realization of truth, then both

realize that both are

moving. Similarly one thinks that his co-passengers

are his close

relatives and is worried about them. But they get down

at their respective

stations and do not remember this fellow at all.

Nobody remembers their

relatives of his previous birth. If one realizes that

the so-called close

relatives like parents, wife, children etc., are only

the co-passengers who

get down at their stations, he will not have any

tension or anxiety about

them. He does his duties without these two. Similarly

when one thinks

that he is his body itself, he feels that he is

damaged by diseases. But

if one realizes that this body is only a dramatic

dress needed for his role

in the present drama, he is not worried about the

damage of the body. He

feels that as if his shirt is damaged. During the

journey in the train one

must constantly think about the interview (judgment by

GOD) and prepare for it. In such case

he gets permanent happiness after the enquiry even

though he is traveling

in a comfortless third class compartment. If one

forgets the interview and

is attracted by the factors in the closed compartment,

he is going to get

permanent misery even if he travels by a first class

compartment. Thus,

something is good according to the ignorant people and

that is bad

according to the realized scholars. This world is full

of ignorant people

and only very few realized scholars are present.

Therefore the behavior

of a realized soul is criticized and mocked by the

large public. But all

the souls will realise the truth after the death when

they face the

enquiry. But it becomes too late by that time and

nothing can be

rectified. Thus, a realised scholar never cares for

the public and

proceeds in the true path decided by the true

realisation. Only such true

knowledge can remove the tensions and anxiety. The

path of devotion can

make you forget the pain temporarily for some time. It

cannot remove the

pain and anxiety on a permanent basis. No other

methods like rituals,

worships, etc., can solve this problem except the

frequent memorization of

the true knowledge. True knowledge is the

comprehensive outlook of the

whole situation i.e., realised by looking through the

window of the train.

Ignorance is the limited look inside the closed

compartment, which is

related to the comforts of seats and the bonds of

co-passengers.
