For many worldly egoistic people one of the excuses they adopted as a ruse is to avoid their ego devaluation of not admitting their inner flaws and cultivated fears -is to become ill and use it as an excuse to hide them from themselves and from others.
Actually it is a psychological unconscious tact to escape and avoid being devalued in their own eyes and in their own estimation.
But if you are a spiritual person, you are the first one to admit your karmas and karmic residues and become ready to go through discomforts and agonies - knowing that you are releasing your stored karmas.

The mind needs to be there as a tool, and as an obedient servant for you to live efficiently and help survive in the material worldly.
But it has surpassed the reasons for which it has been provided and become the perverted master of people and creating hell out of this precious life.
This perverted mind has made many people suffer the imaginary persecution complexes about them, being some sort of social offenders who have committed crimes and police or other disciplinary forces are looking for them to take legal actions against them.
And they live their lives under the constant suspicion that many people in their contact are in fact people who are spying on them.And they see such people peeping at them from hidden places.
And the tragedy is that - if these people have not hidden these- psychic unreasonable fears and had talked about them - they would have gotten free of them so easily.

It is not a laughable thing, although when you know many suffer from these miseries,- you feel like laughing.
These things are connected with their everyday normal bodily functions like eating, defecation, taking bath, brushing their teeth, wearing their clothes - such ordinary things.
But these small things can become so irritating, appear so hard to perform and many people lose their patience and suffer them obsessively.
They become victims of phobia, and start taking so much concern about these daily activities,- it seems as if these bodily functions are such hardships, and they must happen perfectly - if not they lose their patience and tolerance.
These are all neurotic psychological problems which arise because of the idea of perfection and fear of something might go wrong with their bodily image -if they don't happen as they expect them to happen.
But a spiritual person does not worry about the illusions of the perfect images of the body and situations and be ready to accept and adjust to small manageable imperfections.

Unless you are aware about how you are behaving, and about your activities, you don't notice that you have become a victim of compulsive patterns of being egoistic, being boastful about yourself, your children and family.
And the same type of compulsive patterns might turn into over critical about yourself, about your children, about your employees and get into a fighting tendency over which you may not have any control.
Compulsive patterns become your tendency, your personality- if you are not careful about them and would result in so many hardships that you might begin encounter in your life.
Compulsiveness is actually a type of neurosis and it will be there in you because of your being accustomed to be in unconscious and because of your mechanical habitual patterns.

Most of the people really wish- not to have such repetitive compulsive thoughts, which are mostly negative in their nature.
You term them as fears,fear of failure, anxiety, and they are going to create not only mental agony but also make you physically uncomfortable through their sensations.
But people do not know that unless you become spiritual, you cannot get freedom from these miseries because most of them are karmic.
But ,when you become spiritual, -you start knowing the truth of who you are and what really -this so called material worldly is all about.
This spiritual knowledge make you realise that you are not your transient body, mind, ego or worldly cravings,but you are an awareness, observing all these dreams without getting affected by them.
When you become an observer, and know that you are an formless knower, who looks at the drama of so called life as a spectator from a distance, you would get freedom from the karmic residues.
The spiritual technique to be an observer is to be vigilant to notice thoughts,- whenever they arise just as clouds and they are moving on your cosmic sky space.
When you become able to look at your thoughts from a distance, and look at them as if they are happening to a third party, you don't suffer the agonies and begin to clean your karmas.
So make it your spiritual sadhana to live as a non-judgmental witness and you begin to experience that now- you are not getting swayed by your karmic residues and don't get affected by them.

Now being a spiritual person i have surrendered myself consciously and willingly to the will of the divine.
Now actually I don't care for the material worldly happenings.Whatever happens will happen in accordance with the wish of the divine - so why should i worry,or be dreadful about what might happen ?
I know now that my prior ideas or imaginations about any future happenings are all nothing but minds insanity.
So i don't suffer any neurosis of not analysing about what might be the worst that I am fearing might happen? And " what if even such thing happen?.And come to an answer for that.
So i don't have any fear or anxiety about any future possibilities.So i don't avoid or use any escape excuses.I have gone beyond such neurotic problems altogether.

People who suffer from anxiety neurosis believe in the imaginary story created by the illmind.
It is the visualization of - such a horrific scenario and picture that it will make the sufferer start seeing a catastrophic unbearable loss that might eventually happen.
But being a spiritual person who has been adept in the meditations watching the mind and its stories from a distance i don't bother or care about such imaginations anymore.
I have realised now that it was the belief that the mind is me and its stories are mine was the reason I used to suffer these anxiety neurosis episodes.

Anxiety neurosis makes one suffer its agony even now,- when the task one has to do is more than a month in future.
For example you have a pending case before the court concerning your property.And the case is posted for hearing two months in the future.But you suffer fear,fear of failure from this very day - whenever the thoughts about the case arise in mind.
But after i become spiritual,- i have realised that all these material worldly properties, including my very own self are temporary and one has to leave all these here and go when death happens.
Then i have understood the life facts- about karmas and destiny, and why one should go through them, even though one may not have the memories of why such things are happening.
This spiritual knowledge and acceptance of one's Karmas, and readiness to go through them- make you bold and courageous and free of the torments of anxiety neurosis.

I am a spiritual person who doesn't deny the realities of life.I don't deny my flaws and mistakes.I don't try to cover them with trivial concocted excuses.
For me being spiritual is to be in tolerance, endurance, patience , peace and tranquility.
Being an observer of the body and mind,i can watch from a distance the irritations, feelings, emotions that I am going through -as if they are happening to a third person.
With this spiritual power - i can face, look,analyse and encounter my living realities.So i don't get caught or become a victim of neurotic paradox.
So i don't suffer the agony of the conflict that i have this very weakness but I am hiding it.
I readily accept- yes,this is my weakness, and i know that there are karmic residues behind them.So with this knowledge I don't suffer but feel relieved that I am clearing my karmas.

Presently I am living as a spiritual person in my aloneness, beyond,the identification and limitations of my body mind and society.
I have thus- consciously and willingly withdrawn from the crowd.
Now i just exist as an observer of what all happening inside and around me.
Now my meditation method is to be in stillness,in silence being a spectator,withdrawn from everything physical, psychological, and social.
However i don't suppress resist,deny,or try to avoid any experiences that happens to me.
I live my life just as a non judgemental observer of what all my body and mind are experiencing.
Here,i am not my body or mind, but an eternal background seer,a screen,a cosmic space in which every thing appears and disappears.
They are just like clouds and waves which doesn't affect me at all.
