It is correct for man to always aspire for securing his own welfare and to undertake efforts accordingly. However, because whenever something that is not to his liking happens, man suffers mentally.
Most people nowadays call this depression, anxiety, hypertension and so on. If we just analyze it, we can realize that there is no real cause for such suffering. This world, the activities engaged in it, and their results - none of these are lasting. Joy & suffering come and go, and are not permanent. Birth, death, production, destruction, suffering and loss - all are only fleeting.
In this context, Bhagavan alone is eternal. We can have permanent peace only by surrendering to Him. This conviction must always be there. This certainty alone is the panacea for many ills.
दीर्घसंसाररोगस्य विचारो हि महौषधम् ।
No sorrow will taint such a man of discrimination. That mature person, with ardent devotion to God, knowing that nothing other than God is real, views this world as a magical illusion. Realizing the shortcomings in it, he does not care a jot for joy or sorrow. He just laughs it away.
गन्धर्वपतने किंचिन्नेन्द्रजालविनिर्मितम् । जानन् कामयते किन्तु जिहासति हसन्निदम् ॥
आपातरमणीयेषु भोगेष्वेवं विचारवान् । नानुरज्जति किन्त्वेतान् दोषदृष्ट्या जिहासति ॥
Affected by neither sorrow nor happiness, the self-confidence of a person matured in devotion to God will get strengthened by inquiry into Truth. Steeped in God, let all understand this well, engage in self-inquiry and lead a purposeful life.
