Every person in the world knows about worry whether or not able to define it or know its causes. In Hindi language it is called ‘Chinta’. It is as old as the Human race. I don’t know whether animals worry or not but human has this ability to worry since he departed from Chimpazee or just after that. It may be a question of debate but it is certain that it was there much-2 before the civilization.
It is very social evil as the men started living in groups he started getting worried. More the progress more the worries. Worries multiply with the prosperity in geometric ratio.
Worry meaning as per Oxford dictionary is Anxiety, harass importune, uneasy, thing that cause anxiety disturbed state of mind.
Meaning does not explain worry and its reason.
Worry according to me is the fear of unwanted coming or happening. When we expect something unwanted may happen we start worrying and try to avoid that unwanted from happening.
In Hindi literature poets and saints described the worry and stated the means and methods to avoid it.
Chinta chita saman hai mat koi chinta kar. Poet expressed the worry as Chita “a heap of wood and grass on which corpse is laid to burn and it turns in to ashes.” He says and expresses worry as chita which is burning you from inside and you will turn in to ashes in a long turn. It is slow process, but much worse than chita.
Even saints suggested the solution. Solution is not in the methods, it is in the process or culture of living or we can say environment. It varies from society to society. It is more a social than an individual. It is also genetic. A long worry may disturb your mental orderliness and also your genetics. Then it will be transferred to your wards.
To avoid worry great Hindu saint Tulsidas says in his Holy book Ramacharitmanas
‘Sunahu Bharat bhavi prabal bilakhi kahahoo muninath,
Hani labh jeevan maran yash upyash vidhi hath’
He is narrating the incidence after the death of Raja Dashrath and Ram vanvas. The above lies were said by guru Vashishtha to Bharat and he is telling to Bharat that Bhavi (luck or Fate) is too strong than the human and loss, profit honour and dishonor are in the hands of God, so you don’t worry. You can’t change anything and so no use of worrying or repenting.
It is also expressed in English as
Men Proposes and God Disposes. Human make the plans and God destroys them. When you can’t do much better than you have done than there is no fun of repenting or worrying.
In srimadbhagwat Geeta Lord Krishana says to Arjuna:- Karam kar aur Phal ki chinta na kar.
Karmanye vadhikaraste ma faleshu kadachan.
You must do your work as you have power to do the work and have no control over its result so don’t worry about its result. You will get result as per your work and yours last accumulated Karmas or fate.
When we can’t stop the happening of inevitable we must not care for that. 90% times we are worrying for the things not in our hand. One interesting fact about worry is that 80% times we worry for the things which happen in our favor. It means 80% time our worry is fake. Worry is a habit and it is to be left.
