lot. The Indian intellect is such that Indians suffer a lot of worries. Foreigners do not suffer as much.
Labourers do not have worries while bosses do. None of the labourers worries. This will result in a higher life form for the labourer and a lower life form for the bosses in their next life. Therefore there should not be any worries. Worry is the cause of a lower life form.
Dadashri : Why is worry called a sign of ego? Because in his mind, he feels, 'I am doing this all,' and that is why he has worries. He believes, 'I am the one who makes it happen' and so he worries: 'what will become of my daughter? What will become of my son? What will happen if this work does not get completed?' He takes everything upon his head. He thinks of himself as being the owner and the doer'. But he really is not the doer and yet takes the load of worries.
Nothing but worries, worries, worries. Just like the sweet potato roasting from all the sides in an oven, this whole world is being roasted. Like the fish being fried in oil the poor human splutters about. How can you call this living?

Because one goes around saying 'I am the doer, I am the doer!' That is why one has worries.
I am telling you this very subtle yet very important fact in a nutshell. To date no man has been born in this world that has the independent energy to evacuate his bowels. So what is all the egoism for? There is some other force and energy at work. This force is not yours; it is not under your control. You do not know what is under your control. You do not know your own strength and force. This is the reason why you become dependant on other forces. In fact you and your entire life becomes dependant on forces that are beyond your control.
Worrying about marrying off your daughter
Here, people start worrying about marriage of their daughter from the time she becomes three years old. Although she will not get married until she is twenty years old they start to worry now. Is it written anywhere in the scriptures as to when one should begin to worry about their daughter's
Worry is the highest ego Questioner : Worry is a sign of ego. Can you please
