According
to the World Health Organization, every 40 seconds in this world one death is
due to suicide. Don't you think this is a big problem? My aim is not to judge
anyone right or wrong, I want to develop an understanding within you so that
you can stop going into a dangerous state like depression. Or if you are in
depression now so you can get out of it. And for this I want to tell you a
story, from this story you will know how Gautam Buddha saves a person from
committing suicide.
Once
Gautam buddha is passing through a mountain with his 5 monks, on that mountain
there are beautiful trees, on which various flowers and fruits are growing,
Looking down from that mountain, one can see a beautiful river whose water is
flowing.
Buddha mendicants tell to Buddha, Buddha this is a beautiful place, the happiness within us is not stopping from coming out Buddha
says yes, you are telling the truth but to see this peace It is very important
to have peace within us.
Just
then a person comes running and tries to jump down from that mountain. Buddha
seen that person and understand that he wants to commit suicide, so Buddha
holds his hand before jumping. He tries to get rid of his hand from Buddha's
hand and says leave me who are you to hold me I have a right to my own life,
Buddha says no it is the right of the mother who gave birth to you, The father
who raised you have the right, this is the long chain that has made you who you
are today
Hearing the Buddha, the person starts crying and sits on the ground. Buddha says that this was momentary impulse of the mind now it's calmed down that person tells to Buddha it is not momentary, I have everything in my life but Whenever I looked myself I found darkness, I found very deep pain and that’s why I have no desire to live life.
Buddha
says when a desire arises, we feel that when it is fulfilled, we will be
satisfied. But as soon as the desire is fulfilled, our mind is again filled
with loneliness. You know why because when the desire was a wish, it was a
dream; when the wish was fulfilled, we understand the difference that it was
also a dream.
He
asks, is nothing in this life immortal, Buddha says, but he is not outside but
inside. You have enjoyed the happiness of the outside, now try to know the
happiness which is within you. Nothing will happen by running away from life,
you have to bring a direction into your life to know who you are.
That
person says to Buddha, who are you and how do you know all this, Buddha says
who am I? You will know this only when you look at me properly.
That
person wipes his tears and looks at Buddha and keeps on looking. Seeing Buddha
brilliance, he says to Buddha, I have never seen beautiful person than you.
Buddha
says I was standing beside you for so long but you could not see me because
your eyes were blind and wanted to see only darkness everywhere. Man can make
any world he wants in his mind, that person says it is true
I
was born in a wealthy family there was no shortage of anything in life. I kept
fulfilling every pleasure, desire but I was suffocating inside. I kept falling
in my own eyes.
Buddha
says many human beings are suffering from physical diseases, suffering from
lack of money. And the same number of human beings are suffering from mental
diseases. Buddha says to that person look around then he looks around and see
beautiful flowers, birds, rivers, beautiful waterfalls.
That
person says such a beautiful scene.
Buddha
say to that person when you were going to jump why you could not see this
beauty, he says because I was not ready to see and I only wanted to see the
echo of my own sorrows
Buddha
says, you have calmed down now but this nature has not changed, it is the same,
only your eyes have changed now. Excess of anything, even if it is happiness,
only gives rise to sorrow. That's why stay in the middle and you will be able
to see the things as they are.
There
are only two reasons for depression, first our expectations are not fulfilled
and secondly we do not accept the reality, when we do not get what we want,
then we become depressed. Or when we lose someone we loved we fill our lives
with sadness.
While
we know that this is the law of nature, what is with us today will not be with
us tomorrow or we may not be with him tomorrow. But knowing everything, we
always make sorrow as a center of our life.
While
we know that this is the law of nature, what is with us today will not be with
us tomorrow or we may not be with him tomorrow. But knowing everything, we
always make sorrow as a center of our life and then whole life you walk around
your center.
Finally, I would like to say that life is very beautiful, it would be foolish to go without seeing the beauty of the life
thank you.
