Realisation and repeated memorization of the true knowledge is the 
only one solution for this problem. The ignorance is responsible for 
all the anxiety and tensions. One should know that every one has 
climbed the time (Kala), which is the running train. Death is the 
station at which one has to get down. Then every one should face the 
Lord for the enquiry.

After the enquiry one will get either permanent happiness or 
permanent misery. The journey of this train to that station is the 
human life, which is only a fraction of second when it is compared 
to the infinite stream of time set up from the beginning of the 
creation. To think that the life is very long itself is ignorance. 
Every one is sitting in a closed compartment and realisation of the 
truth is the window through which every one should peep to find the 
infinite time stream. Only on such comparison the human life becomes 
a small fraction of a second. When the realization is absent and 
when there is no comparison the lifetime appears to be very long. 
First one should cross this illusion of time. Similarly, the 
illusion of the place. The earth looks very large under the 
ignorance.

But if one realises the infinite space of this universe the entire 
earth is a small fraction of a pinhead. Similarly one gets a 
comfortable seat and sits on it thinking that he is settled in the 
life. Another person is moving in the compartment in search of a 
comfortable seat and according to him he is not settled. But when 
both these people look out through the window, which is realisation 
of truth, then both realise that both are moving. Similarly one 
thinks that his co-passengers are his close relatives and is worried 
about them. But they get down at their respective stations and do 
not remember this fellow at all. Nobody remembers their relatives of 
his previous birth. If one realises that the so-called close 
relatives like parents, wife, children etc., are only the co-
passengers who get down at their stations, he will not have any 
tension or anxiety about them. He does his duties without these two. 
Similarly when one thinks that he is his body itself, he feels that 
diseases damage him. 

But if one realises that this body is only a dramatic dress needed 
for his role in the present drama, he is not worried about the 
damage of the body. He feels that as if his shirt is damaged. During 
the journey in the train one must constantly think about the 
interview and prepare for it. In such case he gets permanent 
happiness after the enquiry even though he is traveling in a 
comfortless third class compartment. If one forgets the interview 
and is attracted by the factors in the closed compartment, he is 
going to get permanent misery even if he travels by a first class 
compartment. 

Thus, something is good according to the ignorant people and that is 
bad according to the realised scholars. This world is full of 
ignorant people and only very few realised scholars are present. 
Therefore the behaviour of a realised soul is criticized and mocked 
by the large public. But all the souls will realise the truth after 
the death when they face the enquiry. But it becomes too late by 
that time and nothing can be rectified. Thus, a realised scholar 
never cares for the public and proceeds in the true path decided by 
the true realisation. Only such true knowledge can remove the 
tensions and anxiety. The path of devotion can make you forget the 
pain temporarily for some time. It cannot remove the pain and 
anxiety on a permanent basis. No other methods like rituals, 
worships, etc., can solve this problem except the frequent 
memorization of the true knowledge. True knowledge is the 
comprehensive outlook of the whole situation i.e., realised by 
looking through the window of the train. Ignorance is the limited 
look inside the closed compartment, which is related to the comforts 
of seats and the bonds of co-passengers.
