You don’t have to struggle with depression alone. Here are some useful and handy tips, powerful wisdom in the form of quotes that can help you during this difficult time.
Quotes on depression and how to overcome it from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
1.If everything is certain, it leads to depression. The 'WOW' factor in life comes from uncertainty.
2. Depression and low feelings cannot touch you. However big the clouds are, they cannot overshadow the sun
3. The biggest killer in the coming decade will be depression. And again, to bring people out of depression, only wisdom can help.
4. Boredom is a blessing when it leads you to wisdom. And boredom is a curse when it leads you to frustration and depression.
5. Be in knowledge. Listen to knowledge and do your practices (sadhana) every day. Then you will not go into depression. Do seva, when you have nothing to do, you think about yourself and get depressed.
6. Too much ambition, and too many desires drains your mind of energy, and you feel depressed. When the mind is clogged with too many desires, it loses all its energy just thinking, and dreaming, and wishing, which causes the mind to go down. That is why dispassion is essential to counter depression.
7. When you focus on someone who is depressed, you also feel the same. That's why the Guru is important because when you think of Guru, your energy gets restored, you get back to your normal self
8. The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness is to share others's sorrow and joy. As you grow, your consciousness should also grow. When you expand in Knowledge with time, then depression is not possible.
9. Yoga is to realize that your mind is dynamic and your life is dynamic. Depression is a sign of static understanding of life. When you feel everything in life is dead or static, and there is nothing more to do, and nowhere to go, you get depressed.
