16. Implement Changes If Needed
Sorrow simply means that ‘viveka’ (discrimination) is overshadowed. Viveka means knowing that everything is changing. Your body, your emotions, the people around you and the world – everything is changing.
Time and again you have to awaken to this reality. You are often fearful of change. Change is inevitable in many fronts though security is hooked on to stability. You know there is a need for change to improve your life, but you feel secure in the old pattern.
You need the courage to implement changes wherever it is necessary. You have to evaluate the pros and the cons. You have to see whether something gives you short-term joy and misery in the long run or short time pain and joy in the long run.
Life is a combination of both change and non-change. So, use your intelligence and courageously implement changes when you feel that there is a need for change.
