Supreme Lord. You are God, and so why must you worry? What are you worrying for? Nothing in this world is worth worrying about even for a second. Now you should face those entanglements and bring a solution to them.
accomplish a difficult task. But do not worry about it. By worrying, your work will receive a jolt. The person who worries takes the reins into his own hands.' I am the one who is making it work! There is a punishment for taking on that kind of a control.
Questioner: If we go against and try to resist adverse circumstances, will that increase the ego?
Dadashri: It is better to oppose than to worry. The ego of opposition is less than the ego of worrying. God has said, 'Oppose adverse circumstances, look for solutions, but do not worry."
Double punishment for those who worry
God says that there are two punishments for those who worry and one for those who do not. A person that worries, mourns, cries or becomes despondent etc. upon the death of his only son of eighteen years is punished twice and the one who does not do all that is punished once. The death of the child is the only punishment and then the extra punishment is for worrying, crying etc. I never suffer both punishments. That is why I tell these people that if a pickpocket takes their five thousand rupees, they should just say, 'Vyavasthit' (scientific circumstantial evidence) and move on.
The first punishment is an effect of your past life karma. So do not worry. This is "Vyavasthit', it is exactly Vyavasthit. Whatever happens, you have to say, 'Whatever has happened is correct."
Dependence on the non-Self (complex of thoughts, speech and actions) results in worry. Earnings of foreign country (non-Self) will remain in the foreign country. You will have to leave all these cars, houses, businesses, wife and children behind when you leave this world. At this final station of your life, no one will have the power to do anything. The only things you will be allowed to take with you are your paap (bad deeds) and punya (good deeds). To put it simply, a list of whatever rights and wrongs you did here will accompany you. The earnings gained from those crimes will remain here and the case will continue in the next life. As a result of these accumulated karma you will acquire a new body and you will have to start afresh to pay off the debt from your past life. So why not wake up from the beginning? There is tremendous happiness in the Self, the homeland. Alas! One has never seen the homeland.
When worries arise due to accounts receivable
At night every one says. . It is eleven o'clock, go to sleep.' On a winter's night you tuck yourself inside the mosquito net. Everyone in the household has gone to sleep. Under the mosquito net, you remember that you have to collect three thousand rupees from someone and the due date has already come and gone. You start to wish you had made him sign a promissory note and you worry about it all night long. Now are you going to be able to have it signed
If you worry about a task you ruin it
Nature tells us to make a tremendous effort to
