WORRY

When the mind goes over and over a problem and is ceaselessly concerned with it, that is what we call worry. Now, how is one to get rid of worry?. First of all, it is important for the mind not to give soil for the problem to take root. Observe your mind and you will see how restless it is, always occupied with something; with something you have just learned; with what somebody said yesterday; with what you are going to do tomorrow and so on. It is never unoccupied. However big a problem may be, in being occupied with it the mind makes it petty. Only a mind that is unoccupied and therefore fresh can tackle and resolve the problem. - J.KRISHNAMURTHI
