In chapter 16 of the Gita, Krishna mentions “chintam pralayantam” to describe an asuric mindset.
Seems like he’s describing my mindset though!
What does it mean?
Nothing but endless worries. That the mind is constantly worried, leading to stress and anxiety.
We say that life being unpredictable is what leads to stress.
But it’s not unpredictability itself, but the fact that we allow the lack of certainty to impact our happiness.
As my Guru often says, living in uncertainty alone is spirituality.
