What is the root cause of Worries?
ego has been allowed to increase more and more. The world is capable of functioning with a natural, normal ego. But the inflated ego of the old man says,' I am worried a lot.' What are the consequences of these worries? Animal life form is in store for you in your next life. So beware. While you are in this human life form you must be cautious, otherwise you will receive the fruit of animal life if you carry on worrying.
A true devotee will even scold God
Worries that eat away at you inside are meaningless. They harm your health and also obstruct whatever is due to you. It is precisely because of worries that such situations arise. One has to think about the good and the bad aspects of any situation, but there is no reason to worry. This worrying is egoism. There should not be any egoism.

They all move around with their own selfish motives.
Lord Krishna says : why do you worry ? Krishna will do what he wants to

Those goods cannot even be sold. How can they be sold? Wherever they go to sell these goods, they come across other factories. Find me one person in this world who does not worry.
Some devotees say, 'I am at the feet of Lord Krishna'so why worry if you have taken refuge at the feet of Lord Krishna? Even Lord Mahavir has said not to worry. He has
In this worldly interaction, ego is always there as a by-product. This type of ego is natural. This much ego is enough to run your life normally. But whole new factories of ego have been started, and this extra ego has expanded to such an extent that there is no end to the worries. The
