There are five types of restlessness.
The first type of restlessness is due to the place you are in. When you move away from that place, the street or the house, you immediately feel better. Chanting, singing, children playing and laughing can change this atmospheric restlessness. If you chant and sing, the vibration in the place changes.
The second type of restlessness is in the body. Eating the wrong food or vata aggravating food, eating at odd times, not exercising, and overworking can all cause a physical restlessness. The remedy for this is exercise, moderation in work habits and going on a vegetable or juice diet for one or two days.
The third type of restlessness is mental restlessness. It is caused by ambition, strong thoughts, likes or dislikes. Knowledge alone can cure this restlessness. Seeing life from a broader perspective, knowledge about the Self and the impermanence of everything. If you achieve everything, so what? After your achievement, you will die. Knowledge of your death or life, confidence in the Self, in the Divine, can all calm down the mental restlessness.
Then there is emotional restlessness. Any amount of knowledge does not help here. Only Kriya helps! All that emotional restlessness vanishes. Also the presence of the Guru, a wise person, or a saint will help to calm your emotional restlessness.
The fifth type of restlessness is rare. It is the restlessness of the soul. When everything feels empty and meaningless, know you are very fortunate. That longing and restlessness is the restlessness of the soul. Do not try to get rid of it. Embrace it! Welcome it! Usually to get rid of it people do all sorts of things - they change places, jobs or partners, do this, do that. It seems to help for some time, but it does not last.
This restlessness of the soul alone can bring authentic prayer in you. It brings perfection, Siddhis and miracles in life. It is so precious to get that inner most longing for the Divine. Satsang, the presence of the enlightened one, soothes the restlessness of the soul.
不安有五种。
第一种不安是由你所处的地方，一旦离开那个地方、那条街或是那栋房子，你就会立刻感到舒服些。赞颂、歌唱、儿童的嬉戏或欢笑都会改变这种环境的不安。假如你赞颂、歌唱，那个地方的磁场就会有所改变。
第二种不安是身体上的不安。吃错东西、吃到会胀气的食物、在不对的时间进食、没有运动、以及过度的工作都会造成身体上的不安。矫正的方法是运动、适度的工作习惯、以及以蔬菜或果汁断食一两天。
第三种不安是心智的不安，这种不安是由于野心、强烈的念头、喜好或嫌恶 所引起的。只有知识才能够矫正这种不安：从更宽广的角度去看待这个生命、本我的知识、以及了解到一切的无常。假如你完成了一切，又如何？在成就之后，你将会死亡。对于生死的知识、对于本我的信心、对于神 的信心全都可以使心智的不安安定下来。
再来就是情绪的不安。再多的知识在此都派不上用场。只有净化呼吸能够有所帮助。所有的情绪不安都会消失。同时，上师、智者或是圣者的临在也都有助于使你不安的情绪平抚下来。
第五种不安是稀有的，那是种灵魂的不安。当一切都感到空且毫无意义时，明白你是非常幸运的。那种渴慕与不安是灵魂的不安。不要企图消除那种不安，去拥抱它！去欢迎它！通常人们为了消除这种不安，会做出各种事情：搬家、换工作或是换伴侣、做这、做那。这些看来暂时有些帮助，但都不能持久。
只有这种灵魂的不安才能够带出你内在真诚的祈祷，带出生命中的完美(Siddhis)与奇迹。获得那种内在至深对神的渴慕是件很珍贵的事情。唱场和成道开悟者的临在能够安抚灵魂的不安。
