Why Do You Worry At All?
Why do you worry, if you declare yourself to be a serious spiritual practitioner?
On the one hand, you loudly pronounce your conviction that God, or whatever Highest Power you recognize, takes care of every-thing, including you. On the other hand, you constantly worry about your wellbeing, your future, and even the past that left its less-than-perfect mark. With all your logic and intelligence, you’re continuously failing to recognize what even the slightest of worries mean – you’re doubting God.
Put simply, you don’t believe that God will take care of all that matters to you; ensuring all will happen to your best advantage.
“Oh, yes, I believe in God’s unconditional love!” you proclaim. Do you? Why then do you doubt that your fate will be less than perfect?
Do you really think that you know better than God what’s good for you? Do you think that you know even a small fraction of the good that God do for you? If so, you’d remember that sad Monday when exactly at 9.50 AM five people died in the traffic accident on the cross-section near your home.
Were it not for that mysterious phone call, with the phone silent at the other end, just when you were leaving, you would be exactly there; your car a part of the mangled wrecks. Has it crossed your mind that perhaps, you should thank God for causing you being late for the accident?
How many more times the Supreme Power “intervenes” each moment of your life to make it possible for you to still be?
Even if you’re at the kindergarten level of spirituality, you should realize that God’s love is the guarantee of your perfect earthly passage. Yes, even those who run around shouting: “There’s no God!” do qualify!
Despite of all mistakes that you’ve made, and will continue to make; despite all the silliness that underwrites young years and the stubbornness that underlines your senior years, rest assured that only the best will happen to you. And as difficult as sometimes it will be to accept this, for your short-sightedness and egocentric tendencies, God loves you more than you love yourself.
The words: “All is God” are your guarantee of the perfection in every minute moment of your existence; for you belong to “All”.

Those of you who regard themselves as advanced spiritual practitioners need to look at the worry phenomenon from a different perspective.
Firstly, knowing that anything in consciousness is only a concept and therefore it has to be wrong, removes any reality whatsoever from your small and big worries alike.
Secondly, as Nisargadatta Maharaj said: “There is no entity, and what is happening is merely the program of the functioning of consciousness – there is merely the functioning, there is no entity who is causing it and there is no entity who is suffering.”
Thirdly, everything that happens, happens in the consciousness. But, why should you be concerned?
Said Nisargadatta Maharaj: “Have you understood that you are the witness of the consciousness that appears on you? You are not the consciousness, you are not the knowledge, Sat-guru is your true nature.”
And finally: there’s no “I Am”.
The “I Am” which you consider yourself to be, disappears with the consciousness, and that’s why it is as unreal as the consciousness itself is!
Therefore, that is not the “I Am” that “I” am! Why worry about something that is not?
As the common wisdom has it, it is in human nature to worry. Or, is it?
