FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 46 - DEPRESSION CURE: FOCUS ON REPETITIVE, MUNDANE WORK

Depression Cure: Focus on Repetitive, Mundane Work

Hi Friends,

This is my first post of 2015. May we all have a great, joyful year.

I have been dwelling on Depression Cure for the last few months. More specifically, through my recent posts, I have attempted to come straight to the point: what steps you can take to joyfully emerge beyond depression. I refrain from the usual terminology: beating depression, fighting depression or your victory against depression. Regular readers of this blog and those who have read my book: ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY? will understand why. Struggling is precisely what you have to give up. Do not run away from depression. Observe it, Embrace it, it will melt away. At the end of this post I will give links to some of my earlier posts on this. They will be helpful.

Now, here is one other simple way of quietly moving into the NOW and finding a joyful existence beyond depression and boredom. 

Our daily lives are full of activities that are repetitive, often mundane and do not require much attention. Yet, we cannot skip them. How about quietly focussing on them? I have given some examples in my book from my lived experiences. 

I was exchanging notes with my daughter about where our minds are when we drive. During my younger days, I used to drive mostly on my reflexes. I recall having driven, say, from work to home, with my mind being everywhere except on my driving! I often shudder to think that on reaching home I was able to recall nothing about my driving, neither the route nor about how I negotiated it. I only remembered my train of thoughts; and those had nothing even remotely to do with my driving! 

All those who are confident about driving and do not have to think too much will understand this situation. My daughter shared exactly the same experience with me.

Forget whether you enjoy driving or not. Just try and focus on everything that you are doing while driving. I'm not suggesting that you get tense. If you are a relaxed driver, you cannot force yourself to get stressed. 

Just passively notice all that you are doing. How you navigate, respond to the traffic on the road, how you slow down, wait at signals, how you turn, accelerate... and so on. All this you can do on reflex. But I am suggesting that do not drive on reflex. Just observe each action of yours. Turn off the radio. Your mind will want to wander away. Gently bring it back to your driving. Feel the steering wheel that you are holding. In short, it is as if you are closely observing someone else drive!

If you can manage to do this every day, by the time you get off the car, you will notice a new kind of peace descend on you. As you make this a habit, you may notice more peace, a general cheerfulness and a sense of joy within.

One by-product of this practice is that your driving will be safer! Next, you can find so many repetitive, mundane things that we have to do every day. Every time you get busy in any such activity, just remember: do not let your mind wander; and observe yourself closely.

Some people enhance their driving pleasure by listening to loud music, or by getting thrilling kicks. I am not suggesting any of those measures. For, my focus is not to make your driving pleasurable but to help you to move closer to yourself. Do notice that I have suggested you turn off the car radio. Driving is just one example. It could be routine office work or any daily chore at home.

It is like doing whatever you are doing, with your entire being. It's like driving with your being. Our daily lives offer us many such opportunities. If you can master this practice, you will have found an excellent way of moving into the present moment. That is where you find JOY!

You will find this helpful even you are not 'depressed'.

FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 45 - DEPRESSION CURE: OBSERVE ANIMALS CLOSELY

DEPRESSION CURE: OBSERVE ANIMALS CLOSELY

Hi Friends,

I keep writing on depression cure. I have two motivations: 

1. To propagate how I found permanent peace and joy after struggling with depression for years, for I did not know the way out; I am passionate about sharing my experience consisting of actionable steps to get cured of this cursed existence.

2. The scourge of depression is rising in alarming proportions across the globe. When you look around you find mostly unhappy people, some openly admitting so, some desperately trying to distract themselves out, and many in total denial.

Whichever way you look at it, even if many are able to fool themselves into believing that they are 'happy' beings, almost all will agree that humanity is witnessing a rapid shift towards a sad state of being. This is accompanied by more substance abuse, temper tantrums, intolerance, impatience, hatred, violence and a many other forms of acute negative sentiments and actions (like suicides!).

Those who have been following this blog closely or have read my book: ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY? will hopefully understand that most things that we do to ward off depression and anxiety, are likely to only amplify them and get them firmly embedded in our consciousness. The way is NOT away from the pain of depression, but THROUGH it. That is the irony. Well, that is also the beauty of human existence!

The entire theme of what I write is to bring us back to our being, our sense of self that is not EXTERNALLY DERIVED. We are comfortable with recognizing us as professionals, politicians, successful people, or persons with substantial net worth etc. Or, we wallow in our lack of success, lack of opportunities, victim-hood or other  such activities bordering on self-pity. Either way, our sense of self is externally derived.

We are so focused on the circumstances that we get completely identified with that. Our mind and ego are close collaborators in constructing this mind identified sense of self. Being has no chance in such a situation. The simple steps that I keep writing about, to discover FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS within, all lead to a closer identification to being. This needs silent, passive observation of our inner selves. 

It may appear difficult initially. You will soon realize that this posture of noticing us internally comes about easily.

Another way of enhancing this posture is to be with persons who are close to being and therefore spiritually advanced. Relating with such a person brings spirit in your lives too. But you do not find such persons easily.

So, here's an alternative. Relate with animals. Observing them closely too brings spirit in your lives. I am not joking. I have written in the past that human beings dwelling close to the level of FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS display one remarkable feature: they do not have ego.

Now, I do not recollect animals operating from ego. Do not mistake the aggression displayed by many animals on territorial or security concerns. Such reactions are based on their instinct and are often linked to survival issues. They do not get into ego issues the way humans do. Moreover, I observe that animals mostly reside in the present moment  - another spiritual trait. They do not have the matching intellect to ponder over their past, or curse their destiny or blame other animals for their state of affairs. Nor do they indulge in day dreaming or worrying unnecessarily about their future. Many animals do plan and strategise, like storing food for the winter, preparing a bed for the new arrivals and so on. My guess is that much of it is a mix of some intelligence and mostly instinct. Sadly, the huge capacity of intellect in humans has practically killed human instinct.

I derive immense satisfaction in closely observing animals. some examples are dogs, cats, squirrels, birds and fish. Quietly notice how they move about and interact with each other. Notice how mostly they are at peace. This passive observance will bring peace to you as well. 

Keeping a pet like a dog can also be a very satisfying experience. One word of caution, though: if you keep a pet dog only as a statement to show off, and do not relate with it, then it serves no purpose. 

Try observing animals closely and notice the changes in you!

FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 44 - DEPRESSION: THRESHOLD TO A NEW KIND OF JOY

DEPRESSION: THRESHOLD TO A NEW KIND OF JOY

Hi Friends,

So, how is it going? I do get a sense, from the comments and queries I receive, that many of you are imbibing my thoughts. Tentativeness and hesitance are natural; please take your time.

Probably, the new paradigm that has crept into your consciousness still resides in your minds. You have to let go of your mind. Once you have understood, or more importantly, appreciated the possibility of a new shift in your life, the mind has no further role to play. Our brains have no role in our journey towards FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS. But of course you need to understand what I write, and honestly notice yourself. Execution is at the level of spirit. And to reach spirit, you can use parts of your body and processes like breathing, heart beats etc. Observe them quietly. I have dwelt on the 'how to' in several past posts. Here is the link to one of my earlier posts on how to go about it: (please click here).

I keep coming back to my favorite topic: depression. Why not? I owe so much to the depression and angst I have suffered in the past. But for that, I would have been leading an artificial, flat, half-life. I would have missed the richness, the fullness and depth of my present joyful existence. Only deep depression has made this possible.

That's why I keep saying that if you can locate uncaused depression in you, you are the lucky one. Don't run to a psychiatrist. He will pull you down through medication and prevent you from growing further into a blissful existence.

Yes, while suffering uncaused depression you are at the threshold of joyful existence. This is a different kind of JOY. We are so used to getting happiness from 'external things' that it is often difficult to imagine any other kind of happiness. Can we ever imagine FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS? This happiness is just there. 

We have numbed our senses in a noisy world. We have further numbed ourselves by running after so many 'things' that we miss the subtle opportunities of noticing bouts of inner JOY.

Enjoy everything in life, but from clear awareness that none of that will bring JOY in your life. If you understand this aspect of life then you will not cling to or crave for these external 'things'. This way, you enjoy them even more! Is that not a wonderful state to be in?

FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 43 - HOW TO CELEBRATE UNCAUSED DEPRESSION?

HOW TO CELEBRATE UNCAUSED DEPRESSION?

Hi Friends,

One of my previous posts, Series 37: Uncaused Depression is a sign of Spiritual Growth; Embrace it, Celebrate it! (please click here to read) has been widely read. I have received many queries through social media as well as direct mails, all of which I have responded. Based on the kind of thoughts that the post has provoked, I am inclined to devote this post on the "how to" aspect.

That's important, since my premise, borne out by my own experience and that of several others, is that you must not shun or try to fight depression, anxiety, despair, meaninglessness. Rather you must feel all of that closely and passively without resistance. This is first step towards a life of bliss and joy. Your depression will dissolve. It may sound unbelievable but that is the truth of existence.

What is passive observation of this apparent psychic pain? It is to step back and look closely at what it's doing to you, to your body, your heart beat, your breathing, and to the sum total of your existence. You must do this without any mental analysis. There will be a temptation to attribute this suffering to external causes. Even if you are sure that external causes are causing this pain, feel it without analysing the cause. 

This is very important. For, 'analysing' is the favorite activity of the mind. It will just love to oblige you with complicated analysis. Remember, you are not the mind. You are only you - being. The mind is a tool available to us, like any other organ: arms, legs, ears etc. The moment we slip into the belief that the mind is all important, to the extent of getting identified with the mind, we have lost the plot. And we have moved far away from FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS.

At this juncture, it will help to do a recap of Series 34: Psychological Depression Vs Uncaused Depression (please click here to read).

Once you muster the courage to honestly acknowledge and observe your inner pain, you will notice moments when it just dissolves, giving you the opening to FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS. The pain will come back. Don't worry. It takes time to fully dissolve. There will be a few ups and downs.

In time you will reach a point where you no longer fear your depression or anxiety. Rather, the moment you observe the familiar pain return to you, you welcome it! For, now every time you closely and calmly notice this pain, you will see it dissolve and give way to bouts of JOY! That's the beauty.

Which is why I say: embrace it and celebrate it!

The difficulty to do this arises from the way our brain is wired. The moment we sense any pain, our brain signals us to move away from it. This is necessary for our physical survival. 

But the laws of spirit require us to move into this pain. It's not as illogical as it seems. Humanity has accumulated this pain by neglecting spirit, by excessively focusing on the physical world. So much so, that this inner malaise has become an embedded part of human consciousness. Hence, the only way to undo this is to refocus our attention to within us and discover the JOY within.

These thoughts take time to get assimilated. Which is why I suggest that you keep going back to earlier posts. My book: ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY? has it all at one place. Take your time. Don't rush. Quietly observe your existence. You will be surprised to see the results.

Cheers!

FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 42 - WE LIE SO EASILY!

WE LIE SO EASILY!

Hi Friends,

Summary of previous unmissable posts: (please click here)
The Only Permanent Cure from Depression  - Series 41: (click here) 

Almost all of us have lied sometime or the other. As children, as adults, while in responsible positions, for petty or serious reasons. That is human. 

We do not realize, but only humans have the propensity to lie. We can deliberately be dishonest. No other living form has this weakness. At least we are not aware whether there is an equivalent of lying among, say, monkeys or chimpanzees or other higher mammals. 

All will agree that there are degrees of lying. Various cultures have supported lying for a good cause. For instance, not conveying to a terminally ill person about his impending death, and the like. I'm not getting into the morals. There are arguments on both sides: the right to know about one's health condition versus the needless mental agony one undergoes upon learning of an incurable disease.

But what about the lies that we indulge in for a variety of other reasons:

Category 1:

• to avoid embarrassment
• to hide our inadequacies, failures, in-capabilities
• to gain favours 
• to become popular, impress others etc. 

Worse, we can lie with more serious consequences; I place such instances in Category 2:

• to deliberately malign someone else, often causing harm
• to gain unfairly at the expense of another person
• to settle ego battles, often prompted by jealousy
• to play politics, often at the cost of someone else 
• to scheme against someone with the intention of causing harm even when you have nothing to gain etc.

Before you proceed further it will be worthwhile to reflect upon the occasions when you may have indulged in both the categories of lies listed above. Just ponder for a while; there is no harm! And you know, lists are by no means exhaustive.

Coming now to the first category, one can argue that most often such lies are harmless. But what does it do to the person who indulges in such 'harmless' lies? Is no one getting harmed? Think!

Yes, if you have been following this blog, you will be quick to understand that by telling such lies, we only 'harm' ourselves. 

It is not physical or psychological harm. The 'harm' is at the level of spirit. We move away from authenticity. We are removed from the FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS within us. On the contrary, we add to the accumulation of unhappiness inside us. And we spend our lives trying to run away from this unhappiness.

Readers of this blog and those who have read ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY? will recall that we need two simple abilities to move higher in spirit and lead joyful lives: authenticity and courage.

Apart from being inauthentic, whenever we hide behind such 'harmless' lies, we are often closing our eyes to some unacceptable reality about ourselves.

For instance, say, I have not been up to the mark in an assignment. The way I have handled a job may have been questioned.

What do we do in such cases? Damage control? For your survival, it may truly be the best thing to do. I'm not suggesting that you declare to the entire world how you have erred in judgement or messed up an assignment. Can we at least accept privately that we have made an error of judgement or have miscalculated, or may have been inadequately prepared for the job? 

Such truthfulness about our failure may cross our minds, but what do we focus on? On, how to protect ourselves, make others believe that "it was not our mistake". Don't we do this very often? We are so compulsively engaged in trying to convince others: "we were not wrong" that, in time, we convince ourselves that we made no mistake! Ironically, much of the world does not take our defensive arguments. And, instead of protecting ourselves, we suffer even more.

All of us get into such situations. Next time, try admitting to yourself what your inadequacies were - honestly. Stay with the feeling of embarrassment. Facing this pain is better than suffering the consequences of a protracted damage control.

Finally, let us think about the more dangerous lies: the category 2 kinds, listed above. What prompts us to do so? Very often we indulge in such lies not so much to protect ourselves, but to harm others. Just reflect, how often we would have lied to just demean someone else, for petty reasons. 

The only reason that I can think of is the collective human misery that humanity seems to carry within - the human malaise. We are mostly oblivious of it, and it comes out in the most nasty ways. 

I have elaborated upon this aspect in my book: the maximum harm and suffering to human beings has been caused by fellow human beings, through wars, persecution, hatred, religious/ethnic identities, and often due to plain lies. 

If this is not the reflection of the basic human unhappiness, then what is? Just quietly acknowledging this, opens us to movement towards more spirit in our lives and towards FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS!

FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 41 - The Only Permanent Cure from Depression

THE ONLY PERMANENT CURE FROM DEPRESSION

Hi Friends,

World Mental Health Day is approaching; October 10 is just round the corner. Here's what I had posted on that day, last year: please click here.

Mental Depression and the various 'mental disorders' that are associated with it are becoming a nightmare for humanity. This suffering afflicts large sections of mankind, across cultures, income groups and age. Suicides, provoked by depression are also on an alarming rise.

As someone who has struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a teenager, and having found the durable, drug-free way out of it into a life of FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS, I have been trying to reach out to as many people as possible with that message. It pains me to see how people are suffering and trying to run away from depression, when just authenticity (honestly accepting your pain), and surrender (giving up all struggle against it) takes you across to a new life of bliss. 

You are just a few straightforward steps away from a permanent cure of depression. All you need is a little courage and openness to new possibilities. Many of us have closed ourselves to new perspectives by sticking to our familiar comfort zones, and we continue to suffer. Let me promise you: I am not suggesting miracles or the occult. My way out of depression and anxiety is not patented by me. This paradigm has been detailed from times immemorial, again across cultures, but has been either misunderstood or lost or rejected amid a very busy, mind dominated existence.

I have written about this with numerous examples from daily life, in my book: ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY? 

If only you read this book slowly, a few pages at a time, and keep coming back to the thoughts in it, you can benefit immensely from it. Please do not read it like racy fiction. I know persons who can complete reading a fat book in a few hours. That will not help. You can also slowly read prior posts of this blog.

Here, you need to allow a new perspective to gradually sink in. Much of this may often appear to be in collision with what we have been trained to see all our lives: the realm of conventional wisdom.

That uncaused depression is actually a sign of spiritual growth is the first thing to recognise. I have written on this in Series 37 (please click here to read). To move out of depression you have to allow yourself to grow further.

What we all also need to fully understand is that uncaused depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, meaninglessness are all facets of the core of human existence. This reality is mostly pushed aside, ignored and denied. Many of those who feel it are also quick at finding external reasons for this pain. Blaming others and even creating hate objects then become part of a lifelong support system to deal with the deep, inner, human malaise.

We do feel depressed for real, external reasons. We need to understand the distinction between psychological and uncaused depression. This is important. Do read Series 34 (please click here). 

Once you have accepted the above two propositions, the rest of the journey towards FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS consists of truthfully facing your depression instead of running away from it. It may appear illogical, for I am suggesting that you move into the pain, whereas our brain will always signal us to move away from pain. This is where conventional wisdom fails.

In days, you could get hints of a very new life. Isn't it great? When we rush to psychiatrists, the medication does the opposite: it numbs your feelings and pushes you down to fall within the slot of other 'normal' beings.

Makes sense? Read on. Here is a summary of the previous interesting posts in this blog: (click here).

FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS Series 40 - JEALOUSY Part II: From where does it arise?

JEALOUSY Part II: From where does it arise?

Hi Friends,

Summary of past unmissable posts: please click here

My last post (Series 39: please click here to read) was on how destructive and painful jealousy can be. I had also written on ways to deal with it, and how to use it as an opportunity to move towards a life of joy.

The enthusiastic response that post has received has encouraged me to write more on the subject, especially to identify the root cause of jealousy. From where exactly does jealousy originate?

Once again, there may be a temptation to point fingers at the person we are jealous of. That person appears to be the reason for jealousy; it could be that person's popularity, success, wealth, or any silly comparison.

Let me reproduce here a section from my last post:

"By the same token, much of the suffering on account of jealousy is, really speaking, the basic human unease which too happens to be the true inner condition of human beings. We do so many things to keep this inner unease at bay. Inviting jealousy might be just another way, for it 'justifies' the inner pain by making another person the 'source' of the suffering."

Does that ring a bell? Regular readers of this blog will understand. To rewind a bit...

We humans have accumulated pain in our existence for centuries. As a result, the collective human existence is that of misery and suffering - not entirely for any tangible external cause, but simply un-caused. I have given a detailed description of this inner human malaise in my book ARE YOU REALLY HAPPY? with numerous evidences drawn from art, literature, movies, as well as examples from day to day life. 

It may be difficult for us to easily accept the reality of this suffering at the level of spirit, but it is real. It often manifests as mental depression or anxiety, or plain meaninglessness, despair, tentativeness or uneasiness - a general dissatisfaction that does not result from anything external. Those who notice and acknowledge it honestly are really the fortunate ones, for they have the opportunity to move beyond it and towards FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS. 

The vast majority do not feel this inner uneasiness. We continue our day to day lives by keeping it suppressed through many actions like staying busy, running after fame, getting into ego battles, unending greed for wealth and accumulation, non-stop entertainment... In short there is no 'pause' in life where we could possibly feel our inner malaise.

This may well continue 'successfully'. But the problem arises when we get broad hints of our innermost unhappiness, yet deny it, and look for external reasons to justify it. Blame game, playing the victim and complaining are some of the usual practices. Jealousy is just another of those tricks to fool ourselves into believing that someone else is responsible for our 'unhappiness'.

Friends, if all of us can accept this reality of human existence, this world is going to be much better and joyful.

Many external events 'trigger' our inner unhappiness and encourage it to rear its ugly head. Those external events are NOT the CAUSE for our unhappiness. They are just a trigger. The 'successfully' locked up inner condition leaks out. We are rattled but still in denial. That's when we look for 'reasons' and intelligently create them. We are so smart that we do the job very convincingly. We create hate objects. That reduces the pressure on us. In the process we lead inauthentic, artificial lives.

Amid this tentativeness, if we find another person who seems to be happier, wealthier, more successful, popular... why do we feel upset? It tickles our own inner unhappiness, which we have been dealing with almost unknowingly. So the unhappiness that we now feel 'appears' to be the result of comparison with that other person. In reality, our innate unhappiness has been provoked. It was always there, deeply tucked in.

We have the extraordinary opportunity to honestly acknowledge our inner condition and transcend it, moving towards a life of JOY. (How to do so is given in detail in my book and in many posts of this blog).  But we fall into the trap of jealousy and create a hate object. Ironically that may appear to give us some strength to deal with our unhappiness. But we have moved far away from spirit and FUNDAMENTAL HAPPINESS. And, we solidify the unhappiness within us. We get destroyed from within.

Response to an interesting query:

My previous post evoked an interesting query: "Isn't some degree of jealousy good, for it encourages you to compete and do better in life?"

My response:

Feeling encouraged and enthused by another person is a positive sentiment. As long as the thought, "I too can do it" stems from a positive emotion where you genuinely admire the other person and feel like emulating him, is certainly welcome. There is no negativity. You do not add any pain within you. Rather, you may have discovered a good outlet for past accumulated pain.

In contrast, jealousy is an entirely negative response, steeped in unhappiness. Whenever you feel like emulating someone, honestly ask yourself: are you happy to do so? Or, are you doing so out of unhappiness?

Makes sense? Read on...
