Don't Worry About Your Worries!

By Staff

A small story:

Buddha had ten thousand disciples whom he used to address every morning.

One day he brought a tightly knotted rope and placed it before them and asked, "Can someone untie this knot?"

The disciples came forward, pulled and pushed at the knot but could not undo it.
One intelligent disciple then came up, looked at the knot for a while and undid it easily.

You have to look at the knot and see how it has been created, how the knotting has happened. Once you do that, you just have to simply reverse the process of creating the knot and you have untied it. Instead of doing this, if you simply pull and push, you will never be able to untie the knot, it will only become tighter.

The same thing applies to our problems also. The problems, diseases, emotions you are struggling with, are nothing but knots in your system. Once you clearly understand how the knots have been created, you can take the right steps to untie them.

Worry is closely related to the Manipuraka chakra, which lies in the navel region. Negative thoughts directly attack the Manipuraka chakra.
