We are formed not in the way our mind designs thoughts, but the way we control our thoughts. Mind will produce thoughts depending on situation, but we should use attitude to transmute our thoughts. Mind within us doesn’t represent our original constituent, just like sand mixed with water. We are different from our mind and body. Saints describe our nature is pure in quality. But, we get biased with mind and body and consider ourselves impure. Just an ignorant considers air inside our body is one of our ingredients.
So, we are not a weak personality, as we think. We are capable of doing impossible feats in life. People who have identified this law have succeeded in life. Those limitations created by our minds are imaginary and self-imposed. But, we can co-ordinate our mind and body, to stimulate it towards particular destination.
“Mind and body will become our subordinates through our will-power”, says Swami Vivekananda. “Joy and happiness incur to one, who eliminates worldly thoughts and makes mind void”, this is principle of spiritual meditation. Similarly, success meditation involves diverting worldly thoughts and concentrating on our purpose. Success is formation of definite aims, with intelligent plans executed with action, guided with mental attitude. Advancement in human civilization was possible by understanding the behaviour of mind. Conquer our mind to conquer our life.
QUOTE: “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, nor to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” - Buddha
