How to banish worry? Tips-4 Nothing is indispensable

If you notice the Universe you will recognize it runs its show on its own without anyone's intervention - the earth rotates and moves in its orbit without anyone's instruction. In the same way all our body mechanisms function without our instruction or intervention.

One of the human follies is 'thinking that we are indispensable and feeling everything will come to a halt if we are not there'. Alas! What a stupid idea? This makes us to worry 'What will happen to my children if I am not there? Or what will happen to my family or company? - whatever.

Just for a moment look back - all our great grandfathers also thought the same way when they were alive; but what happened after they have all gone? Their absence did not make a wee bit of difference to this universe or even to our family - life goes on as usual. In fact things became better after their departure!!

There is a famous poem I read long time back which describes indispensability. "If you insert your hand inside water it creates a void; but when you pull your hand out, water instantly fills that space. The poet says, your indispensability is like that space which will get filled up on the same day we are buried".

Hence, don't worry that anyone will suffer without you. On the other hand many will be happy that you are also gone and carry on with their pursuits. Enjoy every moment of your life as that is all you have.
