What can we do to relieve our pain and suffering? Bhagawan explains how we can diagnose the real problem and seek relief.
 

Frustration is caused by wrong diagnosis of the root-cause of suffering. By massaging one’s head, can you relieve an excruciating pain in the stomach? Delay does not matter; discover the real root of the trouble and then do the remedy. The real remedy for all troubles is attachment and illusion. Married couples think they will be happy when they get a child; but that is just the beginning of a series of worries! They worry about the child’s health, habits, schooling, friends, marriage, career prospects and so on, in an endless chain. The mind multiplies the roots of worry, anxiety and grief. Cultivate detachment, not attachment. Dwell on the great heritage of humankind; then, you will give up attachment and not engage yourself in low thoughts, words or deeds! Contemplate on Dharma, Sathya and Prema (Righteousness, Truth and Love) which are the foundations of humanity and that will guide all your actions to be righteous.

- Divine Discourse, Nov 6, 1967.
