Mind - The Key to Life - Part 3 BY Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All, "Happy Onam To All E-satsang Members"

 

“It appears as if God took this Avatar to

destroy Bali and Bless Indra.

It seems as if

God came down to retrieve the lost heaven and wealth of Indra to him.

It seems

as if the Lord were punishing Bali , the Asura,

who had usurped Indra’s heavenly citadel and wealth.

 

Indra and the Devas prayed

to God to retrieve their heaven and wealth from Bali .

 

 

God gave Indra what he sought – his heaven and wealth, and Bali what he sought – HIMSELF (the Lord)!â€

 

-- Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

We take care to

maintain good health and develop our intellect. But greater care should be

given to the mind because good physical health and intellect become useless if

a man is mentally afflicted. A man who is blind can use his other faculties to

run his life. A man of low intelligence can run his life through physical

labor. Is not Beethoven acclaimed as one of the best music directors in the

world though he began to lose his power of hearing even while still young? Has

not Stephan Hawking turned into a great scientist of the world while unable to

even move his fingers due to a dreaded disease? But a mentally afflicted man is

unable to perform any work be he of strongest body, highest intellect and wealthiest

in the world. From this, one should understand the importance to be given to

the mind. There have been

several occasions when a young man has been brought to me. He would be very

handsome. He would have gone abroad for higher education and come out in flying

colors; [but] His mother would tell me, “He is refusing to take up employment.

He is afraid of everything. He hesitates to do any work. He seems worn out

physically. He keeps lying on bed. He has lost his self-confidence.†Even in

this condition people, failing to understand the third need of man, try out

some mantra or tantra, wrongly diagnosing his state as the work of some evil

spirit. Thus, they weaken him further and push him to a state of no-return. Even in the

initial stage, the person afflicted mentally can himself comprehend his state.

But he avoids consulting a psychiatrist for fear of being labeled as insane or

ostracized by the society. As a result, his condition worsens and later, others

are compelled to take him to a psychiatrist. Further, those who are ignorant

about modern medical facilities would advise [wrongly] on the negative effects

of medicines. There are people who fear approaching a psychiatrist for this

very reason. Thus, under this condition the treatment and the time taken for

progress would certainly be long drawn. And, cure is delayed. !!! Will Continue
