You should be a real master and
not the slave of your sense organs. You can't enjoy even the pleasure of the
senses for long without observing self-continence. Running after ever-new
passions ceases peace from your life and results in varieties of weaknesses and
self-invited worries.
Being driven by sensual lust is
against the human-nature and human-religion. Sri Bhagvad Gita is regarded as
the treatise of ideal life. Its guidance will be accomplished in your life only
if you succeed in its prerequisite of self-discipline over your senses. Without
the endeavors of self-restrain, you can't proceed in any Yoga Sadhana of
spiritual refinement; it is a must for achieving something wrong on the worldly
fronts as well. The Sitar of life produces melodious music only if its wires
are controlled carefully.
Just think of the fate of the
horse-rider who can't hold the bridle of the horse. Appropriate control over
the horse is a must. It the rider wants to reach somewhere safely. The same is
about the agile horse of mind in the journey of life. Prudent vigil and
self-restrain are essential for progress peace and happiness.
Some audacious youths regard
discipline as a barrier against their enthusiasm and energy; they want to break
all mental, social and national norms. But this puts them and many others into
trouble and harms everyone. Alertness and guidance of matured wisdom are as
necessary with zest in life as was Krishna's support to Arjuna in the
Mahabharata war. If humans are intelligent beings, they should note that
steadfastness and farsightedness are signs of intelligence.
The Perennial Law of Mental
Evolution
The quality of our mental
inscriptions and hence the nature of our mind depends upon what kinds of
thoughts dominate our thinking most often. An empty mind is said to be a
devil's house whereas a mind engaged in creative works and righteous,
constructive deeper thinking is sure to sharpen, brighten and expand its
capabilities.
You must ponder over this fact
that your mental evolution is in your hands. Short-temperedness enhances the
tendencies of anger, harmful excitations. Worries, tensions, gloom, despair and
similar kinds of negative instincts weaken your mind further. So stop plunging
into the untoward memories of the past and do not let your mind roam in vulgar,
erotic, revengeful, depressing or arbitrary imagination
Positive optimistic and reasoned
thinking educes new joy and energy in your mind and motivates it for
constructive actions; this is also the key to sharpening the intellect. In
short our thoughts are the hidden rulers of our life. Concentration of mind
upon a focused objective and associated thoughts augment its corresponding
skills and potentials. this is
how one becomes an expert in specific talent or field of knowledge…..
