Mind - The Key to Life - Part 4 BY Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

" Onam Week Special "

 

Legends say that on this auspicious day of Onam, Emperor Mahabali returns to

visit his subjects.  The houses are decorated with flowers to welcome

Mahabali. On this day of Thiruonam, we are happy to receive not only Mahabali,

but also the Vamana Vatu (the Lord in the form of the young lad) to destroy the

'I' and 'mine'.

Mind - The Key to Life Contd...

 

We should understand that just as the body suffers from small troubles like

headache,cold, etc. to more serious ones like cancer, kidney failure, etc., so

too, does the mind suffer from ill health. Our ancient Ayurvedic Texts have

spoken about these. While bodily afflictions are called 'vyaadi', mental

afflictions are called 'aadi'. Further, in Srimad Bhaagavatam is found a sloka

that says, 'in Kali Yuga many people will be mentally afflicted.' From this, we

learn that our religion points to mental sickness, too.

 

Well! How to keep the mind healthy? We should know the reason behind the

deterioration of mental health. Food, water, air, place that does not suit the

body would certainly affect its health. Wrong counsel ['upadesas'] and books

would certainly weaken the intellect.

Likewise, there are matters that make the mind healthy and

those that ruin its health. Moreover, in today's world much more care is

required for man's health because increase in population, society, scientific

progress, etc. have made life very challenging and difficult. Consequently,

expectations run high and disappointments, competition, avarice, loss, sorrow,

accidents, mechanical life, etc. are all on the increase. Man has to face all

these with his mind only. Therefore, one should transform the mind [to a matured

state] for facing the trials and tribulations of life efficiently.

 

Do you wonder, How to transform the mind to such a matured state?'

 

Well! It is very easy. The mind becomes whatever you convince it to be! This is

the strange characteristic of the mind! The great Epic, Mahabharata, written in

days yonder, narrates an incident to emphasize that one should not lose

his mental strength.
