The world is giving you protection. The goodness of the world is with you. No need to be insecure. Wake up – you are safe and secure. Your body belongs to this Earth and the Earth will take care of it. You belong to the Divine and the Divine will take care of you.
The one thing that stops you from blossoming is insecurity. When you feel insecure, your intellect becomes dull and your perception becomes colored. Your body undergoes lots of hormonal changes. Your body produces a lot of adrenaline and you feel weak. Your immune system gets affected. Look at the disadvantages of insecurity, see what damage it can bring! On an emotional and mental plane, insecurity obscures your vision and so your perception is flawed. Your ability to see things as they are gets seriously affected, and your social behavior is also severely affected.
A person who is insecure doesn’t know how to be friendly, how to be trusting or how to trust anyone in society. And the antidote for insecurity is trust! Insecurity doesn’t allow you to trust anybody. So, you get into a Catch 22 situation; a vicious cycle of insecurity, depression, anger, and bad behavior. You do not even realize that your behavior is not palatable. And this happens, from within, you lose the enthusiasm, the drive to take any new initiatives, you lose a lot of good opportunities in life. It becomes the end of creativity, the end of entrepreneurship; that is, the end of any type of progress, and that is end of happy, joyful living.
There is a law in nature: If you take up a big responsibility, all your needs will be taken care of. If you constantly keep thinking about your own personal issues, you will go nowhere. There is a verse in Sanskrit which says that; there is no joy in anything that is small. Joy is always in something that is big. Life always flows in search of joy and the highest joy is in the Divine. We must always aim to attain the Divine.
