You have to understand all this. What happens when you
ingest the medicine that was meant for external application only?
This is precisely what people have been doing when it comes
to matters of spirituality. They have not followed the word of
the Lord exactly and that is why they have worries. Otherwise,
would they have any worries? How can a person from India
have worries? (India being the land of Tirthankars and their
spiritual science) Do you enjoy worrying?
Questioner : No, I want peace.
Dadashri : Worry is a fire. One becomes consumed with anxieties that something bad may happen. Once in a while there arises an opportunity for a human being to become an individual with imposing values but if he wastes away his human life worrying, then he will lose the right to be born a human again. Grave indeed is the consequence of not realizing this. How grave are the consequences of worrying! If you want peace then I can put a stop to your worries. The path of liberation starts the moment you stop worrying. The Gnani shows you how to do darshan (i.e. spiritual experience) of the Lord, otherwise it is not possible to see the Lord. Until then, the fire of worries continues to burn and people burn in the fire of worries just like potatoes roasting in a fire pit. Such is the life of those who worry.
