If you are depressed, you do not need to see a psychoanalyst. Generate love and compassion in your heart, and depression will go away by itself, because depression is a consequence of egocentrism, fixation on one’s “I”. You look too closely at your little problem, bring it too close to your eyes, and this makes your depression worse. Look at your problem from afar, but take a closer look at the problems of other people. Depression will evaporate just as the darkness in a room disappears at dawn when the sun's rays penetrate the window.
