Om Swami
Why am I always worried, and what is the root cause of constant anxiety?
Two roots of worry
Everyone, whether in robes, ordinary clothes or without clothes, carries some worry. Two root causes keep a person out of the present and constantly unhappy: 'I want this, and I know it is right for me' and 'I don't want this, it should not be in my life.' Imagine, for a moment, rising above both.
There are only two root causes why a person cannot stay in the present and is constantly unhappy. The first is 'I want this, and I know it is right for me.' Everyone has this illusion that they know what they need.
