Freud and Shri Gita
Both tried to explore the roots of anxiety.Freud assumes that anxiety occurs due to repressed energies. Repressed energies are coming out in disguise to consciousness from unconsciousness. And when individual feels the actual image of repressed energies, anxiety occurs. Han's phobia is one example. To Freud, unconsciousness is reservoir of energy. In Gita, we find that consciousness is reservoir of energy. Energy comes through 'Nishkam karma'. In Mahabharata, we have seen Eklabya character who actually follows principles of nishkam karma. When man acquires knowledge and skills through nishkam karma, he becomes more confident. His self-efficacy level will be very high. Drona has understood so he exploited Eklabya. In Ramayana, I find Hanuman character as the nishkam karmi. Person who does not acquire knowledge or skills through nishkma karma, he feels feeling of insecurity, fear of failure in front of challenges. Freud highlighted testing the reality principle of Ego.
