“A Healthy Mind is rare to find, pandemic grind, is a remind to humankind; rnIt is high time to revive and redefine; let us align to the inner divine!” Do the aforementioned stanzas reflect our current mental and emotional state? rnCertainly, the answer would be univocal and universal with a jest of Yes! This ongoing pandemic Covid is merely a mirror, reflecting our inner dormant and most vulnerable self-ailment of Anxiety and Depression. So far, our technological advancements are truly iconic and unprecedented to fathom the Lunar and Martian grounds; but astonishingly we find it so tumultuous to rhythm our own emotional and mental sounds. rnThese two poles-opposite scenarios of our existence - immense success externally and abysmal mess internally - indicates the duality. The alarming repercussions of this fervent contrast of life, not only cripples a common man but the cream strata too. Wealthy is of course becoming wealthier but not healthier; the mediocre are plunged into poverty, and those already underlined are undermined and are sadly perishing. This polarity has led entire humanity into an inevitable and invisible threat of ‘Psychological Pollution’, the gravest being ‘mental pollution - anxiety’ and ‘emotional pollution - depression’! Covid brings us the sermon to learn and discern our inner vistas which are neglected and hardly visited. Being lured by the ‘face value’ of things, and ignorant of its ‘base value’; we emphasize only on the beautification of outer appearance, and forsake inner coherence. This imbalance of maintenance pollutes our psyche and nodules our persona to the extent that we estrange our own identity. Let us understand the modus operandi of these psyche contaminations. Human Psychology is regarded as the most complex, by both Sciences and the Parasciences, owing to its greatest tool – ‘Brain’, a super computer, the driver and the reviver of the human body that functions on the synchronized electrical pulse known as the ‘brain waves’. Simply, it means our brain is accustomed to function smoothly with every kind of oscillation and vibrations, provided the range must be in the permissible limits of safety. This confirms that it is totally logical and normal to feel swings of different emotions in a blink of an eye.rnBut the essential disclaimer is that the brain should consider it to be in a safe range of sustenance and tolerance as per the limits set by an individual's own IQ (Intelligent quotient) and EQ (Emotional quotient). Hence, if a good news can make us happy and shine, at that very moment having a strong mosquito bite can make us snappy and whine. Today's life is so drastic that every hour or half has a new emotional novelty; either excitement, happiness, cheers or pole opposite of that- detachment, sadness and fears; so on and so forth. Every individual is unique and so is their perception, which results in abysmal possibilities of reactivity or tolerance capacity towards the very same event. Anything above or below the set limits is considered extreme and abnormal, hence considered a pollution or contamination and if not resolved may prove hazardous. On a mental platform, disorder of frequent and extreme fear or worries regarding anything is tagged as ‘Anxiety’, and the disorder of persistent and extreme repressed feelings is addressed as ‘Depression’ which belongs to the emotional frontier. Both of these disorders have no age, gender or race barrier and it engulfs the host and then the entire family suffers indirect and direct repercussions of the same. A severe challenge arises when the condition of comorbidity is analyzed, wherein both anxiety and depression exist simultaneously. If any of these disorders are not safely settled, it can be fatal. Hence on a SOS level, this needs to be resolved by analyzing the basic root cause of this ‘brain to drain’ situation and timely health of the vein, because it is better to cease the thralldom than to beseech for freedom. The major building block of a happy life is a happy mind, which is positively stimulated by healthy relationships and wealthy bank accounts. The excessive and intensive worry about the welfare of the present and future makes us anxious about everything surrounding us. Thus anything or anyone, knowingly or unknowingly, happens to interfere with our proprietary arena of ‘alliances’ (relationships) and ‘finances’ (wealth), our mind considers this as an encroachment and suffers the doom of Anxiety. Similarly, depression is caused majorly by the excessive and intensive repression or suppression of the feelings. ‘Never seal the feel or take forever to heal’; when this canon is not heeded, the layers of unspoken emotions pile up like ever thirsty dry sand absorbing all our zeal and happiness and making us nothing but a barren desert of suspicion. Due to lack of motivation and self-esteem, regrets of past hovers to the extent that the repose becomes remorse, once the hale turns pale, stoic goes doink, and fantasies turn to phantoms. To revive from this catastrophe, every form of healing methods such as reading books, getting psychological treatments, medical help, and even parascience healings are employed. But nothing seems effective as these healing methods are indirectly operated on the exterior level of the physical body whereas the culprits are deep down veiled into the inner mental core. These self-generated ailments can best be healed through ‘self-awareness’ by rebooting and upgrading the infected brain computer with the finest and the best version of IQ-EQ healing software. In today’s world of piracy, phishing and spyware, fortunately we have the most authentic, original, scientific, and spiritual software or program Akram Vigyan (Science) a ‘step-less path to self-realization’ readily available for us. It is divinely designed by the spiritual scientist Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan aka A.M. Patel (Dadashri), a simple family man, enlightened through Self-Realization. So, let us download his axiomatic software, using the instructions that blissfully are the own verbatim dialects of our beloved Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, which dissolves our anxiety and resolves the depression through his divine ‘Akram pearls to supple’... rnAkram Piety Dissolves Anxiety:rn1.Let’s shun the Worries burn:rnWhen there is a perpetual sense of, ‘I am the one who runs all these things’, then the worries arise.rnNothing in this world is worth worrying about, not even for a second.rnWorry is a fire. One becomes consumed with anxieties that something bad may happen.rnWorries blind and fracture all right reasoning and knowledge.rnIt is better to oppose, than to worry.Oppose adverse circumstances, look for solutions, but do not worry.rnCarefulness is awareness and to worry is to have anxieties, which eat you up from within.rnEnjoy the present-do not worry about what is not in front of you.rnWhen worries no longer occur, then all the entanglements will diminish. You will experience bliss in absence of worries and in the midst of all external turmoil. rn2. Learn to Nourish and Wealth will Flourish:rnWealth comes your way when you give help to others; not otherwise. Wealth comes to those who have a desire to give.rnWealth stays in a happy household. Wealth leaves who worry. Wealth abounds in the home of the person who is at peace and is content and remembers God.rnMoney will not come to you if you go through extreme struggle to acquire it. It simply happens.rnDeath is inevitable and so is money. It is going to come to you as your share.rnProfit or loss, neither is under your control. Just go along with all these natural adjustments.rnMoney will not remain where there is contempt and gossip. When people are contemptuous or engaged in bad mouthing others, wealth will not come their way.rnYou will need merit karma in order to earn money. rn3.Relation’s a Must - Just Adjust:rnThe very definition of ideal worldly life is ‘Adjustments’. Inability to adjust is a weakness. The more you adjust, the more your energies will increase and your weakness will diminish.rnAs long as you do not interfere, nothing will interfere with you. There is no one who has the power to do so. All these problems exist because of your own meddling.rnIn this world, whatever conflicts you come across are entirely due to your own mistakes. No one else is to blame. Whatever you have to endure by the acts of others is because of a karma account from your past lives. You should become ‘fight-proof’. If you become fight-proof, you will be able to live in this world peacefully.rnIf you simply assimilate the phrase ‘Adjust Everywhere’ in your life, then that is more than enough. Peace will arise automatically for you. The one who has learned the art of adjustments has found the path of eternal bliss.rnAkram Expression Resolves Depression:rn1. Why Suffer- Let’s Buffer:rnSuffering in this world will remain for you as long as you see faults of the world and others. Freedom will be yours when you see the world and others as innocent. Who makes you see the faults of others? The enemies within called anger, pride, passion and greed.rnThe world is absolutely faultless and this should be permanently entrenched in your conviction.rnThe fault is of the sufferer. Wrong understanding causes suffering. That suffering is self-created; so you can make it as great as you want.rnYou are your own protector and your own destroyer. You are whole and sole responsible for yourself. You are the only boss. Absolutely no one can meddle in this. If you want absolute independence and freedom, then you will have to destroy all your mistakes. 2. Abolition of Suspicion:rnSuspicion is something that you should absolutely shun. Nothing is going to happen outside the limits of your karmic account.rnBe cautious, but do not be suspicious. Suspicions will kill you. Suspicions are such that they will not leave you until you die. Suspicion makes a person live like a corpse. Most conflicts at home arise from doubts and suspicions. Suspicions give rise to vibrations, which then ignite into flames.rnNo one is your enemy; your enemy is your unnecessary materialism, running after unnecessary things in itself is your real enemy.rnIt is an illusion that they appear to be at fault. Illusionary vision divides everything in two: this person is innocent and this person is guilty; this person is worthy of merit and this person is a sinner.rnGet rid of your vision that makes you see faults in others, otherwise your progress will be hindered. rn3.World of Emotions- Normalize, Don't Oversize:rnWhat is the essence of the world? Normality. Above normal is the poison. Below normal is the poison. Come to Normality.rnThe love that goes beyond its natural boundary is love of attachment and attraction.rnExcessive attachment will result in a lot of friction and suffering, creating more problems for both the parties involved. You have to fulfill all of your worldly obligations, but by no means are you to perpetuate the cycle of attachment. If the other person is multiplying the conflict by complaints and discord, you should use division and try to achieve peace by settling the matter with equanimity.
