MIND CONTROL
--- Bijay Kanti Ray
In pursuit of our daily business of life, we sometimes remain oblivious of our surroundings. We
sometimes waste our valuable time and energy and misuse our opportunity of life. While we
sleep, half of world’s population remain awake and work. The day we arrived in this beautiful
world, millions of people bade farewell to this vale of tears. We seldom keep in mind the fact
that we are spending our life at the speed of 24 hours a day.
The habit of tracking the movement of mind is really great. But the number of practitioners of
this great game is negligible. We may appreciate the fact that our body and mind are two
different entities. A close observation will reveal that in whatever work we are engaged in, the
mind travels elsewhere living us behind. The mind engages us to work and then it moves around
the work at a speed much greater than the speed of light. This is precisely the cause of accidents
in our various field of work- may be while driving or working in the factories, etc. The absence
of mind is the reason of many a pitfall in our life.
When the mind is controlled, the wavering stops and the few gifted persons who could control
the mind, could invent things for us in their efforts to make this world a better place to live in.
Apples fall in the ground since time immemorial and only Newton could feel the pull of the earth
behind this phenomenon and law of gravitation was invented. Whenever the drifting of mind is
controlled, great inventions happen. This repetition in evitable in the future also.
Inappropriate use of this greatest gift of god – the mind, cause the psychosomatic diseases. War
against the germicidal diseases is probably going to be won very soon. But the diseases caused
by uncontrolled use of mind is increasing. Doctor’s help in this regard is not of much use. But if
we can control the mind, peace will prevail and we shall be happier in life.
Indian yogis have shown the world how this can be done. We may follow it and lead a blissful
life- a life free from hyper-tension and related diseases. We should protect against all negative
thoughts by posting a guard in front of the gate of our mind. The composer of mind will make
our life more productive and it will strengthen our effort to make this world a better place. Let us
give a trial to this wonderful game of mind control.
