Stress & Depression from a Sufi Perspective "The primary cause of depression is the effect of memory upon people. Most people harbor in themselves some very deep regrets about their own past actions or about what they feel to be wrong decisions or mistakes made through the course of their lives. When we recall such painful events, a fire roars out of control through our hearts. Then we arrive at a gaping hole in our hearts that cannot be filled, no matter what we try to fill it with, so deep are our regrets. Our present life becomes a bridge between the past and the future, between 2 terrible visions: haunting memories and anxiety filled anticipation of the future. These memories will persist as memories, but faith can effectively neutralize their painful effects. Whoever has been engulfed by the fire of divine love may feel themselves to have made a new beginning and to have left painful memories far behind."
