ROOT CAUSE OF GRIEF AND SORROW

Swajan :  What should I do when powerful attacks of thoughts and natural tendencies (vrutties) cause me to be overwhelmed with grief and sorrow?

Pujya Shree Mota :  The very reason we become the slave of our own thoughts and vrutties is that we allow it to control us. If we have the awareness to thoroughly analyze the situation, the cause should be evident to us. We are worthless in this world if we cannot know the root cause of our own grief and sorrow. So think deep and find the root cause of your problem. We should never surrender to these natural tendencies. Otherwise it will kill us in the end. We will definitely find the root cause if we try to make an honest effort to understand our mind with our heart in it. Do naam-smaran loudly with all your might without feeling abashed. It will definitely help in this matter. Try this experiment and do not be perplexed and confused. Try to be happy as much as you can and never surrender to your vrutties.
We should not hold on to the thoughts of the past or the present.
