Depression is a state where ego gets subdued. The biggest remedy for it is: 1.Attain Self-Realization. rnIn spiritual terms, ego is our belief that “I am John (the reader may insert his own name here).” Once we learn to dissolve this ego, then no one in this world can ever depress us. Through Akram Vignan, the stepless path to Self-Realization, Gnani, the Enlightened One, bestows upon us the knowledge of the Self, after which we realize that, “really I am not John but I am Pure Soul and my nature is only to see and know.” For now, you may take Gnan (Self-Realization), for your child may be young now. Once he is of age 18, you can take him to Gnani and make him take Gnan too. This takes only 2 hours, and there’s no cost attached to it.
