It denotes the mental disturbance caused by the sufferer’s life because of negative and unrealistic thinking. It is a state where excessive stress or inability to cope with stress causes mental exhaustion.
It will not be challenging to spot some of such cases in your surroundings. I want to share one of the greatest examples available from "Geeta". As per interpretation by Swami Chinmayanand this was the mental state of Arjuna when he refused to participate in "Mahabharata" -( the War against Kaurawa's) as mentioned in the first chapter. Arjuna has been described as a victim of the situation who is focusing on results leading to #AnxietyNurosis & inactions. It was quite surprising for me to look at one of the greatest warrior of all time through this interpretation. It took next 17 Chapters to convince him to fight the war and get ready for the battle field. Further, if you delve deeper Arjuna has been described as Ego, Lord Krishna as intellect. The chariot as the body and the 5 horses as the 5 senses.
Many times while dealing with situations we focus too much on negative aspects and get stressed. Its always good idea keep your thoughts and assumption under check and have a self-help environment.
Have a great day!
