The question is that if the physical body gets sick, the body creates antibodies to fight with the disease but if the mind gets sick then who is there to fight that? Is meditation one way to fight that? Can meditation defeat it? The mind cannot have a disease. Do understand one thing, the things that a person does not like, he would like to run away from them. Then we say that it is a mental disease that I don’t want to be unhappy, I don’t want to be angry, I want to sleep properly, I want to stay happy. There are all the emotions. They have nothing to do with anything as such. These are all the rules we have made.
Somewhere, someone has helped you to build this belief that living happy all the time is life. You have learned this from somewhere that I should be happy all the time. But this is not the real face of life.
