Scientific circumstantial evidences
For infinite time these embodied souls have been wandering, in infinite life forms. It is only once in a while that you meet an Awakened One, a Gnani Purush, who sets you free.
There are differences between tension and worries
Questioner: So how is it that ego is associated with worries?
Who is the doer? The circumstances are the 'doer. All these scientific circumstantial evidences come together and an event takes place. So the control is not in our hands. We must simply observe the circumstances and see what they are. Once the circumstances come together, the work gets accomplished. It is wrong for a person to expect rain in the month of March. On June 15" (when the monsoon rains are due in India), the circumstances come together. If the circumstance of time is right and yet the circumstance of clouds is not there, then how can it rain? When the clouds are present, the timing is right, there is lightening and when all the other evidences come together, it will rain. All the circumstances must come together. Man is dependent on the circumstances, but he believes that 'I am doing something. The portion of whatever he 'does' is also dependent upon circumstances. If one of these circumstances were to fall short, then he will not be able to do that particular work.
Dadashri : It is because one feels that nothing will go on without him: 'I am the one who does all this. It will not happen if I don't do it. What will happen in the morning?' This is how he worries. This is how ego is at the root of all worries.
Questioner : What is the definition of worry?
Knowing . Who am I' is the final solution
Dadashri : To think about a situation or a problem as being everything is called a worry. If the wife is sick, and she is everything in his life, more important than all his wealth, then worry takes hold. She means more to him than everything else. So worry sets in. If on the other hand, money was everything for him and his wife became sick, he would experience tension but not worries. And for the one for whom the Soul is everything, what does he have to worry about?
One should know who he really is? All work done for our 'real' Self will carry forward with us into our next life. All work done under our worldly name will remain here when we leave this world. Don't you think it is crucial to enquire about what happens to you after you leave this world? Who you really are? Do you not have to know at least something? Should you not inquire, 'Who am I?' I can solve that for you here. I have all the answers. Then you will never have any worries. Do you like worries? Why don't you like worries?
Questioner : What is tension? I understand what worry is, now please explain tension?
Dadashri : Tension is similar but not quite the same as worry. The pull in tension is many sided where as in worry you are totally involved in one issue thinking that to be everything. Example of tension: 'what will happen if this
