Many a time it has been seen that
the doctor after a complete medical check-up of the patient is not able to find
out any reason for his improper health. But the patient experiences pain and
illness, suffers, loses weight gradually and becomes unfit to carry out
ordinary work. Each work should be performed with full understanding,
responsibility, eagerness and sincerity. Laziness and malingering should not be
allowed to enter there, and the stigma of avoiding it and slackness should be prevented.
With all this, it cannot be said with definiteness that what has been desired,
will happen. One should be ready for partial success or even failure so that
the mind remains composed. One must think that the world is not created for us
only, there is a partnership of innumerable people in this world, and what we
consider beneficial for us may also cause loss to others. For maintaining a
balance in nature's creation, all have to be considered. If someone wins in a
game, the other has to lose. This fact applies in the sequence of events also.
One must constantly cultivate the
practice of balanced, peaceful, steady and hopeful attitude. All know the
importance of having a strong and beautiful body and also desire and work for
it. The supremacy of mental strength and cheerful appearance should be
considered even more important. No work remains impossible if one has the
confidence. Even in desperate situations and totally without any means, with
the help of personal confidence, they gave a thought to the road to progress,
sought it out and reached the pinnacles of success. There is only one
condition, that is, one should not be disappointed and sit in a corner.
A smile on the face is God's
visible blessing to man. One who smiles and makes others smile is full of
magnetism, spreading fragrance around him like a lotus. This is one's own
creation. If it is made a part of one's nature and firmly practiced, then one's
personality becomes uncommonly beautiful. Neither can old age snatch it nor is
it affected amidst difficulties. The body remains strong during young age only.
Both childhood and old age are governed by incapacity. Illness and harassment
fragments it. But mental strength garnered on the basis of self-confidence
always gives company and like a life-giving vital force, is always ready to
grapple with all difficulties.
A weak person is forced to lead a
life of suppression because of lack of courage and lack of spirit of adventure.
Nobody is ready to become a companion of a weak person, to the extent that even
God forgets a man cursed with weakness. In this world lack of strength is a
very big sin causing unhappiness, whether this lack is physical, mental, and
intellectual or any other type.
Health and strength only are the
pillars of happiness and peace. Lack of these two causes, God knows how much
bitterness and restrictions in life. Life's proper development is possible only
when body is strong and well nourished, the heart is generous, mind cheerful
and intelligence without corruption. With distorted health and life, no project
can be achieved.
Only the mind is the center of
experiencing happiness and unhappiness. If the mind is clouded and unhappy,
then even with a healthy body, a man is similar to a dead body - without
emotions, interest and activity. The person will not feel happy in any work nor
feel like talking to any one. When the mind is unhealthy and unhappy, even the
occasions of happiness appear painful. With mental unhappiness, hunger and
sleep are also reduced. Hence mental health is very much essential for
happiness and cheer. In their absence, nothing remains for the man except to
suffer form unhappiness. Mental health is nothing but freedom from lust, anger,
jealousy, malice, disappointment, dejection, restlessness and dissatisfaction.
If the mind is healthy, it is essential to experience happiness peace, cheer
and contentment.
Sometimes troubles come and
destroy man's cheer. Many people give up their patience when faced with such
troubles. Never do this. Troubles come on everyone and after coming, go away
also. Let us face them cheerfully. Let us welcome them smilingly and beat them
and drive them away. We must constantly rely on our self-confidence and do not
allow it to slacken or weaken. Forget the painful experiences of your past;
never allow them a place in your mind, because they are obstacles in the path
to your happiness. You should always think about happiness, mentally move in an
atmosphere of happiness and go on thinking about happy people.
To large extent, nay, almost all
disease does not have their roots in the body. Many people die before time
because of distress, affections, sudden troubles or sudden calamities, but many
mental afflictions gradually and slowly produce their effect and make the man
ill. Because of long term grief circulation of blood slows down, the face looks
pale, the skin dry and eyes look dirty.
It is a common rule of the body
that the wish for joy, entertainment, hope, love and happiness makes the body
strong and gives it plenty of health. There is also the truth that fear,
sadness, jealousy, hatred, disappointment, distrust and other mental
distortions also causes illness in the processes within the body.
The mind is the overall
controller of man's life. Life's destiny will be in accordance with the mind of
the man. Mind should be considered the mould of man's life and man's life
should be considered the reflection of the mind. The extent to which this mould
is beautiful, neat and perfect to that extent man's life also would be cast in
that mould and be beautiful, neat and perfect.
Happiness and peace are not
available in any external means and gadgets. Happiness and peace reside within
man's tendencies. One, whose tendency of heart is cheerful, contented and
joyous; he will have joy and cheer on every occasion. One whose mind is sad,
lazy and dissatisfied, he will be engulfed by jealousy, suffocation,
dissatisfaction and restriction.
One who has purified his mind and
controlled it, he does not require any assistant in the whole world. An
obedient mind is man's greatest and real assistant. Purification of the mind is
in itself a very big penance.
The mind should always be
employed in creative works. The troubles discussed above can be avoided on this
basis and Proper Avenue for progress is also found. To destroy undesirable
traits, creative far-sighted solutions should be adopted. The solution does not
lie in girding the loins and becoming ready to fight.
Generally man is not able to see
his own mistakes. He is easily able to find out others' faults, but always ignores
his own deficiencies. Introspection and contemplation have to be practiced to
find out where we are at fault. If a man starts practicing the skill of finding
fault and criticizing his own self, then all the roads to salvation, which are
blocked, can be opened. One, who tries to understand own mistakes and corrects
them, will not be surrounded by bad situations. People want favorable
circumstances and benefit from them, but do not make efforts to become worthy
for them
