"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Be Free Of Worry

Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj

You are the Self, and that is the essence of bliss. Happiness is the nature of our own Inner being. If your mind is content, then that contentment will be present in all outward circumstances. However, we get deluded when we think that we get happiness from sense objects. This is a mistake that all are making. How can you have sorrow if you are convinced that you are not a body but only the Self? What will happen? No matter what you say or do, only that which is destined to happen will happen. So, why should we worry? A man was worrying that his house was about to collapse. A sage said to him, "What are you losing if the house collapses? Have trust in me and do not worry." He followed the advice of the Sage and within a few days, he unexpectedly received hundreds of thousands of rupees. Then he toppled down his old house himself and built a new one. The house was sure to fall and it fell, but something good came out of it. He built a new house. That which is destined to happen, will surely happen. Don't worry for anything.

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
