Have you ever thought that even if you remain silent, your mind keeps on saying something. We keep thinking about something or the other all the time. They do one thing and think something else. Sometimes about the past, sometimes about the future. But what about thinking about the past? And also about the future. The future has to be shown by doing, not by thinking about it. If you have a plan to do something, keep it in your mind. That’s a different matter.
But if your mind constantly thinks negative things, then it is very important to stop it. Because it can disturb your peace. can make you weak. can distract you from your goal. Can weaken your relationship. Can make you fearful or grumbling. The one who has more upheaval going on in his mind, it can be known from his face only. The pupils of his eyes do not remain fixed at all.
For this, for millions of years, our elders, sages and saints have thought out a very good idea. Meditate for a while. But when your mind is disturbed, your mind does not even meditate.
Suppose the parts of your body move the way you move them, don’t they? When you raise your hand, only then the hand is raised. When you move your feet, only then your feet move. Your lips open only when you want to laugh. You want to cry only then your eyes water. Sleep comes only when you want to sleep. If you want to wake up, you will wake up. You have control over all the parts of your body. Then why not on the mind? Why have you left it open?
Practice this thing every night that I am an almighty soul. Whatever I want will happen. If you want that no sorrow should even come close to you. So it will have less effect on you. And if you keep remembering your sorrows all the time, then they will increase. You must know that whatever we think about starts to fructify. If you think about happiness, its circle will be formed around you. And if you think about the despair of sorrows, then their scope will increase
For example, you have eaten some food that upsets the balance of your digestion. So you will think twice before eating it again, right? Just like that, when any such thought that bothers your mind, you must think once before taking it inside yourself. As we know that eating it will spoil our health, even then sometimes we eat it. Similarly, we also know that thinking about which thing will make our mind restless, yet we think. For example, if there is indigestion after eating, we take measures for it. Similarly, we have to take measures to cure the disease of the mind.
Once upon a time there used to be a very learned monk in a village. His knowledge was discussed far and wide. Even the kings of that country knew how learned the monks were. The king was always restless and worried. One day the king thought why not meet him with a scholar. Early in the morning the king came out of his palace without speaking to anyone and went to the beggar. He told the monk what trouble he was going through. After listening to the king, the beggar said, I can solve your problem, but you will have to come tomorrow morning in Brahma Muhurt, that too alone. And yes remember to bring your mind with you. The king did not understand his words. The king started sleeping, is the mind also beyond the body? But the king had no choice, so he reached him again the next day. On seeing him, the beggar said, give me your restless mind, I will calm it down and give it to you. The king again started thinking that how can I take out my mind? The saint understood the king’s problem, he told the king that your mind is inside you, isn’t it? Then the king nodded in yes. The saint said to the king, now sit with your eyes closed and find your troubled mind inside you. The king could not understand the words of the saint at all. Still, he sat down after listening to them, closing his eyes. When the king closed his eyes, many thoughts started coming in his mind. He was trying very hard to find his restless mind inside himself. A few hours passed like this, the monk asked, have you found your troubled mind? The king said no. Similarly, the beggar called the king to him for three to four days, and used to ask him to sit in meditation every time. Even after doing this for a week, the emperor could not find anything like mind inside. Then the beggar explained to the king, there is no organ called mind inside our body. The mind is just a bundle of our thoughts. There is a queue of files in the office. Which we collect by not working on time
Sometimes someone said some stinging thing, or a mountain of great sorrows fell on you. These are all laws of nature. Happiness and sadness are two sides of the same scale. The one who maintains balance in these can be happy in life. So whenever your mind is restless, think for once, let it go. The world doesn’t stop for anyone, it doesn’t wait for anyone. One has to try to walk with the world. Otherwise we will be left all alone.
That’s why never think that we felt bad about this thing, that thing hurt us. I don’t feel like working today. Today I do not feel like talking to anyone. Today I do not feel like eating at all. The mind is nothing, it is all your negative thoughts. Those who have been created by you only. By giving the name of mind to those thoughts, you become free.
