Sometimes we neglect the mind or soul until they degenerate into depression, or worse, and then expect a doctors prescription to quickly and easily undo it.
But we are sentient, spiritual beings, not mere bodies with chemistry inside. Thus physical remedies cannot cure ailments of the mind or soul.
There are no easy roads to good mental health. We must learn through great effort and observation to become the wise and engaged master of mind and soul.
It is not easy, and even painful, to accept that the fruits we eat in life, bitter or sweet, come because of our husbandry. We reap what we sow. What we plant or allow to grow in the mind or soul eventually bears the fruit which we will eat.
Excusing, blaming or rationalizing will not alter circumstance, but imprison us. It requires great effort but we must try to trace every circumstance back to its origins. Only then can we change and liberate ourselves.
