Controlling one's mind – Varanasi Tour Agency
( the Second Online Travel, Varanasi, UP)
What is the obstacle to one-pointed meditation? The answer is the unstill mind. All problems are caused by the mind, by the desires arising in it. It is not easy to control the mind and keep it away effectively from desire. If we ask the mind to think of an object, it seems to obey us for a moment, but soon it takes its course, wandering off. When I speak to you about meditation and tranquillity, for a moment, your mind will perhaps become still, and you will be happy. But it will go astray in a trice, and the calm you experienced for a few seconds will give place to unquietness.
If you bid your mouth to keep shut, it obeys you for a brief moment. Similarly, if you close your eyes, asking them not to see anything, they shut themselves off from the outside world for some moments. But try as your might to tell your mind not to think of anything; it will not listen to you.
One should keep one's mind under control. Your will must govern thinking and non-thinking. Only then can we claim that it is under our control, that we are masters of our consciousness.
Lunatics are usually referred to as people with no control over their minds. None of us has any control over the mind. A mad man keeps blabbering. But what about us? We let the mind go freely to keep blabbering inwardly.
Do you know what it means to have mental control? Suppose you are suffering from severe pain. If you ask your mind not to feel the pain, it shall not feel it in obedience to you (you will not feel the pain). Even if a tiger comes face to face with you and growls, you will feel no fear if you ask your mind not to be afraid of the beast. Now we keep crying for no reason. If the mind is under control, we will keep smiling even if there is cause for much sorrow. And under the gravest of provocations, it will not be roused to anger and will remain calm.
First, we must train our minds not to keep wandering. One way of doing it is to apply it to suitable activities. When oil falls in a steady flow, without spraying, it is called "Tailadhara". The mind must be gathered together and made stable. It must be accustomed to thinking of noble and exalted objects like the Lord. Eventually, the act of "thinking" will cease, and we will dissolve in Isvara (God) to become Isvara.
Before we pass on, we must find a way to control the mind. Otherwise, we will be born again, and we will be subject to the constant unquietness of the mind again. So we must use the opportunity of this birth itself to subdue the mind even while we are in the midst of so much that can rouse our desire or anger. A man who has succeeded in bridling his mind thus is called a "yukata" by the yogins. He is a "skin", one who truly experiences bliss, so says Sri Krishna.
One must not turn away from yoga, thinking it is meant only for people like the sages. Who needs medicine? The sick. We suffer from Manovyadhi, mental sickness. So we must take the medicine that cures it.
There are two different ways of mastering the mind - the first is outward (Bahiranga), and the second is inward (Antaranga). We must have recourse to both. The Matha has a cartman and a cook. Their work is outward in nature. Then some prepare the wicks of the lamps, gather flowers for the pooja-they are "inward" workers. Both types are needed for the functioning of the Matha. By employing both the outward and inward means, the mind must first be applied to good things one-pointedly and eventually led to a state in which it does not think of anything at all.
Wrapping up: In this blog, we have provided the complete details on " controlling your mind".
