Worry comes from fear of loss.
Fear originates from desire.
Ignorance is the cause of all want.
Forgetting our Self is ignorance.
All these are our own doing,
We ourselves only can reverse it.
This is the great hope of life
That Self-realization does not depend on others.
By constant endeavor only one can achieve it.
Efforts mostly go waste in wrong emphasis.
Mind needs to be focused to goal.
It should not waste energy in other matters.
Evil mind can never be calm,
So concentration does not come to it.
Truth is reflected only in serene mind.
We should work for achieving this.
All other fascination in life
Derails us from this track.
The road map to bliss is with us.
This is the greatest hope of life.

I agree with most of what you have written here. Wrong emphasis leads many astray. Its possible to imagine getting such advice from a holy man ...

sounds like a "manual for enlightenment"
... 
... great guidance through clear and precise statements ... maybe some readers will wonder : yes, but what do I gain at the end ? what is it that will be achieved through following the instructions ? what is this bliss he is talking about ? is it an absence of suffering ? if I can gain it, can I lose it again ? is it some-thing ? or rather a non-thing ? if I have to do some efforts in order to achieve it, does this mean it is conditioned ? how does it feel to be in this state - or is it a non-state ? ...
definitely a thought-provoking piece, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us,
maa
