From birth to death, everything a person is meant to do is embedded within them by the supreme power that governs life—knowledge comes to the heart. For this knowledge to be understood, the heart must be pure. However, from the moment we are born, our minds are first polluted with various concepts, and then our hearts follow. As a result, the voice that tells us what we are meant to do becomes inaudible. Decisions are made with a clouded mind, and life is governed by the intellect. The more we disconnect from our essence, the more outcomes diverge from our expectations. This is how depression develops. To overcome it, one must pay attention to these five key points:
Path:
The path you walk must be aligned with the flow of the universe. Your goals should be on the path that life has drawn for you. Goals born from conditioned thinking are not the right goals. They are either unattainable or, even if reached, come with illness, accidents, or misfortunes—depression being one of them. As long as a person does not realize they are not walking their true path, they remain in depression. To come out of it, they must align with the path life has set for them. For paradise lies at the end of that road.
Body:
The body is one of the most important tools that connect a person to this world. It is the home one inhabits from birth until death. Therefore, one must take good care of it. More than food, what truly matters is movement. Energy comes with movement. Depressive emotions dissipate through energy. Just as movement is necessary, so is rest—without balance, instability arises, which brings depression back. As for eating, what matters is not what you eat, but how you eat. Eating without joy and contentment is not truly eating.
Mind:
The mind should always be calm and still. The universe whispers everything that needs to be done to the heart. The mind takes orders from the heart and acts as a bridge between the heart and life. The voice of the heart can only be heard in silence. If the mind is restless and excited, this voice cannot be heard. Instead, the mind listens to itself, engages in internal chatter, and ultimately drives the body into repetitive, unconscious behaviors disconnected from the essence. These irrelevant thoughts and actions lead a person down the wrong path. The result? Disappointment, followed by depression. To overcome it, one must first calm the mind—this is essential.
Perspective:
This is your viewpoint—how you perceive life. The more judgments you hold, the narrower your perspective. The narrower your perspective, the less you see. The less you see, the fewer solutions you find, and as a result, problems increase. Problems without solutions lead to depression. To break free, you must let go of all judgments, whether good or bad. If you need a method, try neutralizing everything you believe in by considering its opposite. Think, write, and observe the positive sides of things you see as bad and the negative sides of things you see as good. As the mind neutralizes, emotional turmoil disappears. With a broader perspective from a state of balance, opportunities for solutions will emerge, leading to new behaviors that will help you escape depression.
Pattern:
The way your mind processes information shapes how you perceive life. Remember, you are in depression because of the way your beliefs are structured within your mind. The same mind produces the same behaviors, and the same behaviors create the same life. Once you have balanced and neutralized your mind, build thoughts that align with your life’s purpose and act accordingly. If your heart is at peace, your mind is calm, and your dominant emotion is gratitude, then you are on the right path. Depression does not exist on this path.
Those who carefully apply these principles will overcome depression. Those who make it a way of life will never fall into depression. And those who do not apply them will not be able to escape...
