Understanding Depression

When you suppress an emotion or thought, the memories of these suppressions go directly to your manipuraka chakra. When the manipuraka is poisoned, your actions will have an unconscious violence like plucking at something, destroying things, misbehaving with your body, fighting with yourself and with others. The clinical name for this negative attitude is depression.
Some people are less depressed, some people are more depressed, that's all. The more you allow this chatter to consume you, the more depressed you become. The people who are less depressed feel it only at times and that too to a lower degree whereas the people who are more depressed feel it most of the time in a severe fashion. But the current is always there for both.
So depression or negativity is nothing but a collection of negative thoughts, which you speak to yourself. And once you allow such thoughts to enter into your mind, the same thoughts will keep playing back every time you suffer a small failure. It will keep reinforcing this attitude. After all, worrying is only a highly reinforced habit. But it is a mere habit and so you can kick it like any other habit! But you don't think that it is only a habit. You think that it is a solid and serious reality. That is the problem. That is why you are not able to kick it.
When I tell you, you can understand it only intellectually. When it becomes your own experience, when you have that clarity, you will go beyond worries. Then depression cannot touch you. You will go beyond misery. By thinking of worries all the time, what is going to happen? Nothing! With your ten worries, an eleventh worry called depression will happen, that's all.
By worrying, you totally miss the beauty of the present. When you are in tune with the present, every moment will become a celebration and you will not be searching for past incidents to celebrate. When every moment is a celebration, you will continue to be in the present because you are celebrating every moment. You will never go to the past for celebrating. Then every moment will be golden, not just the past!
