On Depression & Anxiety (अवसाद और चिंता)

Is it just a chemical 'locha', or a signal from your being that it's tired of living in confusion?

While there can be physiological components to our mental states, this workshop encourages looking at the root cause in our consciousness (जीवन). From this perspective, states like anxiety, depression, and stress (तनाव, अवसाद) are the logical and inevitable outcomes of a life lived in delusion (भ्रम).

When we live with unresolved contradictions (असंतोष, अशांति), a lack of clarity about our purpose, and a constant internal conflict between what we desire and what is real, our Jeevan is in a state of continuous turmoil. This inner chaos, this deep-seated dissatisfaction and lack of harmony, manifests as what we call depression and anxiety. These states are powerful signals that our way of living, thinking, and believing is out of sync with reality. They are the screams of a Jeevan that is tired of being fragmented and confused.

The solution, therefore, is not just to manage the symptoms, but to address the root cause: the lack of Resolution (समाधान). By pursuing right understanding and aligning our lives with the inherent order of existence, we can achieve an inner harmony that is the natural antidote to these states of suffering.
