Are you depressed?
I think everyone is.
It's only a matter of degree and how long one is depressed.
There are hundreds of ways of handling depression, from the point of view of philosophy, psychology,
medicine — all these can be employed to deal with depression.
I think the one I am going to talk about is a philosophy but not an unrealistic philosophy
but a realistic philosophy which can be even called a way of life.
Say, I am depressed now.
I have an option to be depressed or not to be depressed.
Purely from a philosophical point of view of the, we live from the point of view the
philosophy of mind, provided you can control your mind.
So it's all a mind game.
So you are depressed.
Why?
Because there is no money, no job or no relationship or you have a disease.
That's why you are depressed.
The reality is that you don't have money and and you don't know how money is going to come
from.
So you are depressed.
There is another way of looking at it.
It is true that you don't have a job.
You don't have money.
You don't have any bank account or what not.
But you can also treat it as a as a philosophical truth, a fact, from the philosophy that you
profess.
One philosophy is, particularly in India, is called the Maya Vadha — everything is
The great exponent of Maya Vadha is Shankara.
And prior to him, the Buddhists also practiced this.
It is called Shunya Vadha and Maya Vadha — nothing exists.
We know from quantum physics that matter is an illusion.
So what is the reality is just the new string theory and quantum physics says everything
is just vibration.
And the finest matter that we are made up of, like the subatomic particles, they, although
they are considered matter, they are floating and then they cannot be localized.
so it's a matter of bringing the mind to that level or perception wherein you see yourself
not as a material being but as just an energy field — Consciousness.
Not the matter exists.
When you go to sleep, you don't have the mind; and then everything disappears.
So, if you just can have that experience, even for the sake of faking it — just fake
it — that, "I am just kidding myself by saying that I don't have money."
"I'm just kidding myself by saying I don't have a bank account."
So it might appear to be a faking one, but it will give you a relief.
And that relief will, will be permanent if you just go and meditate, and then really
experience that nothing exists.
So it's a matter of getting the mind to that level.
That's why you have to meditate.
You can take a Sound and then work on the Sound, a mantra and then you just go on working
on the Sound to its various layers of existence — from Nada, Paranada and then you work
up to the level of the Subda and then.
So the gradations, you can see the gradations of the Sound.
So meditation can be immensely useful to understand the illusion of depression or the illusion
of not having money.
