Insight Into Depression

If you are capable of causing depression to yourself, I’m saying this not without any concern for your illness or not due to lack of compassion, because that is the nature of what’s happening to you. If you’re causing depression to yourself, you’re able to generate substantial amount of intense emotions and thoughts but in the wrong direction. If you don’t have very strong emotions, very intense thoughts about something, you cannot get depressed. It is just that you’re generating thoughts and emotion which work against you, not for you. You are strong enough to cause depression to yourself because for you to cause a mental illness for yourself, unless you’re pathologically ill, which is just a small number of people. Rest, they’re all self-created, most of them are self-created. A few are pathologically ill. They cannot help it. It just comes from within because of genetic and other factors.

Almost everybody here, if we train them towards this certain kind of thought process and emotion, and push them a little bit with the outside situations, almost everybody will go lose their mental balance. They will become clinically ill. They can be driven to madness I’m saying, because the line between sanity and insanity is very thin. People keep pushing it. You get angry, you’re pushing the line. It’s a thin line. In fact when you get angry, you know you’re pushing the line, that’s why the expression, “I was mad at somebody.” You’re not mad at somebody, you’re just going mad. You cannot be mad at somebody. You’re just pushing your sanity, the boundaries of sanity in moving into insanity for a certain period of time and coming back.

You do one thing every day. You try this, 10 minutes a day, try intense anger on somebody. You will see in 3 months’ time, you will be clinically dead. Just try it if you want because if you keep pushing the line, you’d go mad and you come back. You’d go mad and you come back. One day, you’re not able to come back. That’s all. One day you’re not able to turn back then you’re clinically ill. You must understand even if you got angry for a moment, you’re already ill. Maybe you don’t get the certificate of diagnosis, they don’t slap a certificate on you that you’re gone. You are going, isn’t it? You think it’s your right to throw tantrums? You think it’s your right to get angry with people? You think it’s your privilege to be depressed so that you’ll get attention from somebody?

You keep playing this, one day you will not be able to turn back. Keep crossing the line every day, one day you will see, you cannot cross back. That day you need a doctor. Until then, everybody needed a respite from you. The day you can’t cross back, they get the respite because now they can catch you and give you to your doctor. Otherwise, you’re temporarily going mad every day, many times a day. They cannot even send you to an asylum. They have to bear with you, your family, your friends, your people around you. If you get at least truly clinically ill, we can hand you over. There’s one temple in Tamil Nadu where they chain you and keep you. Where there’s no hospital, no psychological for ailments, and no hospital. There is a temple that somebody created, but you’re supposed to push people back into sanity.

Families just take them and leave them there. They’re shackled and left in the temple. You give them some money, they’ll feed you. You’re just there like an animal, tied up. I think if hospitals were run like this, a lot of people wouldn’t go crazy. They would maintain their sanity. Right now, it’s too deluxe. If you make hospital extremely comfortable, it will become an incentive to become sick. You have incentives in your life to become ill, right from your childhood. You got the maximum attention only when you fell ill. When you’re happy they scream at you. When you squeal in joy, they scream back at you, adults. When you are a child, physical illness is good because you’ll get attention from your mother, and father, and everybody around you. You don’t have to go to school on that day. You learn the art of falling physically ill.

Once you get married, you’ll learn the art of becoming mentally ill, because if you want to get attention you go sit in akarna, act depressed. People will pay attention to you. You keep playing this game, one day you’re not able to cross the line back. That day, you’re clinically ill. Unfortunately in many ways, not just in the way that I said now, in many different ways I would say 70% of illnesses on the planet, all kinds, are self-created. Even if you get an infection, there is a way if you keep yourself in a certain way physically and mentally, the virus and the bacteria will not work the same way as it works upon somebody else. If you said to yourself like this, “No matter what’s happening, anyway, I have to go and do this, this, and this. There’s no break from that.”

The last 29 years, I have not been able to cancel one program, because I’m running temperature. I got a cold. I got this. I got that. It doesn’t matter what’s happening. What you have to do, anyway you have to do, you can’t turn back on that; either out of your commitment, or you have a boss like that. One way or the other if it happens, then you will see, you will not at all fall sick so often. Because if you have temperature, you still have to go. If it’s summer, you still go, right? A lot of people don’t go. It’s a little hot outside, they don’t go and work. A little cold outside, they don’t go and work. A little raining and they won’t go and work. A snowflake, they will not go and work.

This is just weather. For every changing weather, if you have the comfort of covering yourself in a blanket and lying down, once you create that, you’re body will learn to fall sick as often as possible. If you just keep it this way it doesn’t matter what it is, anyway I have to go and do what I have to do. You will see your body will just bounce back as quickly as possible, even if it gets the worst kind of infections. You just have to set the necessary conditions for health. Necessary incentives for health, both for yourself and your children if you have them. Do not set incentives for sickness. The child is sick, observe him from a distance, never go cuddle him. He knows that’s the worst time of his life. He knows he has to get well soon. Give him the best attention when he is joyful, you will see he naturally learns from within. His very chemistry will learn that it pays to be joyful. It doesn’t pay to be sick.

If you make this very clear to your own biology, to your own chemistry, and to everybody around you, you will see people will not fall sick as often as they are right now. Set that up for yourself. You will see you will get healthy. If you can turn your mind this way, you can also turn it this way. I want you to understand this. “No, no I’m like this because my father abused me when I was 7 years of age.” If you know all that bullshit, you can as well turn yourself around, isn’t it? It’s time. You must understand, mentally, physiologically, chemically, energy-wise, you must clearly understand it doesn’t pay to be sick, unhappy, depressed. It doesn’t pay. To be joyful and ecstatic, it pays. If you make this clear to all these people inside, they will all behave properly.
