STRESS AND WORRY ARE CLOSELY RELATED🔗

VOLUME 7

THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

Worry and stress are closely interrelated; they are like parent and child. One cannot exist without the other. Stress is one of biggest destroyer of health in today's world. Conditioning of the child causes stress, when parents force a child to study it creates stress. Even clever child will not perform well when conditioned too much. For example, stress related to exams, even brilliant students sometimes fail to perform because of the stress created by the parents. The confusion between our true nature and what we pretend is stress or tension. Too much worrying leads to stress. When we are stressed out we worry a lot. Mind is not a thing as we all have been taught, it is a process. It is not a noun but a verb.

We are not stressed; we are the sources of stress. The moment we start believing that our life is depressed, your life indeed becomes depressed. Stress makes you process too many things in the mind. Even if you are thinking about the past and future, you are doing it in the present moment. If you are aware of that, you can be liberated and remain in restful awareness, you don't need to struggle or suffer to be in present moment. If you think life is only the waking stage, you will have intense stress. Breeze cannot move the mountain; time is a breeze on your inner space.

There is a part of you which is consistent

and constant and can't be moved by the

time passing over you. Experience that

space catch the space, be in that space.

The outer world follows the inner world.

If you think the inner world follows the

outer world you are wrong.

To make the kids aware about a topic called stress and how stress is related to worry.
