Distress Is A Result of Our Past Actions
Whenever we are in a state of distress, most of the time it is a result of our past actions.Our past actions are like seeds sown by us and these grow into fruition with the passage of time.Some of the past actions like , putting our hand into fire, come to fruition almost instantaneously whereas other actions ,like planting a tree
take a little longer but the truth is that sooner or later we have to face the consequences of our actions.Irrespective of the reason for taking our action , the natural laws or eternal truths prevail and do justice in the similar way as a student gets the exam results after the complete year of effort put into the studies.

Total Surrender Unto God Help Sublimate The Long Lasting Effects Of Our Past Actions
There is no escape from this truth, but there is only one remedy and that is,our realization of our mistake.If something wrong is done by us and we genuinely feel sorry for our action, commit to ourselves ,that we are not going to repeat that same mistake again and make sincere efforts to ensure that we live up-to our commitment.Although this may look like a complete solution but this is not enough as the consequences will still keep cropping up, at different times, in our minds and may be in reality as well .During such times if we can relinquish the illusion of our control on our lives and do a total surrender unto God, the supernatural source of all creation ,and we leave it on his judgement by being mentally prepared to find happiness in whatever is offered to us by him, the unconditional acceptance of his decision can only help sublimate the long lasting effects of our past actions.
We Keep Chasing Material Objects As Symbols of Happiness
It must never be forgotten that all of us have to leave this world empty handed one day or the other, and there is no escape from this reality,but we tend to always and most of the time forget this simple truth of life.The result is ego, minimum consideration for others and behavior as if we are immortals.Most of us already know this and may be wondering , what all this has to do with mental peace and fulfillment, but it is worth noting that our practices in life do not revolve around this simple fact but on the contrary we keep chasing material objects as symbols of happiness, and in the process ,intentionally or unintentionally,keep neglecting and compromising the natural principles thereby sowing the seeds of our actions, destined to turn into crops at different times,which we need to compulsorily reap
There Are Just Two Choices
So the solution is to lead life based on the natural principles, but the fact remains that there may be a moment in which we decide to do so, but what about the life that we have lead so far as well as the earlier lives that we do not have any knowledge about.Therefore our knowledge of our own past actions is limited and incomplete to a very great extent leading us to a point where we can only expect the crops but we do not know about the seeds sown by us.Therefore there are just two choices , the first and by default is to lead the life of ignorance , where in material objects are at the main focus in our lives leading us to despair, distress, suffering and pain.Whereas the second one is to do a complete and total surrender to God , who can only liberate us from these maladies through sublimation of our past actions.
God Bless
