Stay tuned to my blog- 'Why does sadness come in human' ? click here to read more....

We can define ‘sadness’ as “self-acquired depression that has a negative effect on social setup”. It is just a relative term that differs from person to person and from place to place. It causes out of dissatisfaction in the social setup. It comes in human mind when one is jealousy to others development or cannot appreciate other’s achievement or has revengeful attitude or is disturbed in physical comfort or has feeling of comparison or has competent spirit and above all is afraid of death. The above circumstances are related to spiritual sadness.

The second kind of sadness is material sadness. It causes not by self, but by others. This type of sadness comes in human when others affect his/her pride. Everyone is a replica of the God, but the Godly quality has to be cultivated; failing which one cannot be the God.

Similarly, the third kind of sadness is ADIDAIVIKA sadness, which is related to natural objects. All the above types of sadness cause discomfort in human.

The above three kinds of sadness are broadly divided into two categories-

      Sadness caused due to imbalance of thought.

      Sadness caused due to imbalance of incidence.

Therefore, by balancing thought wave and by developing non-attachment attitude, one can reduce his sadness. Besides that one can reduce sadness by avoiding bad company, by developing proper judgment capacity, by not working beyond capacity and above all by being attentive to his/her own life.

                        Now let us examine, why is sadness a mental concept?  

One’s look towards the social set up around him/her influences his/her life. All his/her creations are the outcome of his/her attitude towards the human kind. One’s sadness is more influenced by his/her capacity-building mechanism. It comes due to hollowness of one’s mentality. Here, hollowness means, desperation. It again, refers to desire. Here, desires are of two kinds- such as, material desire and psychological desire. Material desire means, desire to get different kinds of materials non-available to human. Such as, things needed to comfort one’s life. However, psychological desire means, a kind of apprehension to lose different materials available with him/her. Hence, out of the above mental condition sadness comes in human.

Under the above circumstances, one should realize his capacity while putting his/her desire; because, capacity of a person decides his/her fortune. According to the psychologists, sadness is an experience related to one’s KARMAPHALA of the previous birth. This experience and KARMAPHALA are of two kinds. One is bitter experience and other is sweet experience. Sadness comes out of bitter experience, which is an expression of weak mental strength. Hence, one should make his mind like a lotus leave; that means one should come over all kinds of incidence without being attached to eat. In SANSKRIT we call it “NIRLIPTA”. Therefore, we can say when human desires to get comfort out of any material it causes sadness in him/her. Loneliness sometimes generates sadness too. Here, loneliness means, waiting for someone who seems to own. Nevertheless, if one expands his heart he can have connectivity throughout the world, which never causes sadness.
