Taming the mind

Our brain is the super powerful tool gifted to us by God. Infact,it is the super computer.But we have to be careful that no virus can spoil our computer. Negative thoughts are viruses that damage our mind.

We can create our future by focussing on the pattern of thoughts which multiply fast and design the fabric of our life. The law is, "As you think, so you become." A happy mind creates the happy world but an ill tempered mind has an angry world. You can not achieve great results with a small mind.

God has given us the same brain. It works according to the thoughts with which we feed our mind. We work according to our thoughts, which build our karmas, both physical and mental. Together they form our destiny. So, it is indispensable to train our mind,so that we can use our mind, rather than being used by the mind.
To develop mastery over mind, relax it from time to time. Gift yourself some moments of conscious breathing. Feel your inhalation and exhalation. By becoming mindful of our breathing,we feel calm and relaxed. Feel each breath coming in and going out. Slowly and gradually train your mind to be in the present. This can be achieved by observing our respiratory process.

Let's not make our happiness conditional. lf things happen this way I will be happy, otherwise I won't. When you walk, feel the minute signs of vitality flowing through millions of cells in your body. Over time the mind will learn to endow every experience with beauty, joy and well being. Then the mind will develop taste buds to be happy without any reason. Life changes need time, effort and patience. In the words of Buddha,  "Overcome the mind, overcome the world".
