Meaning: As stated
in the Atharvaved 6/45/1 that we have to keep our mind always busy. In order
that your mind does not wander away in bad thoughts, keep it busy in some work
or the other, that is do not allow it to remain idle.
Message: In His message to Arjun, Lord Shri Krishna has
said that some people in the world possess divine wealth (daivee sampada),
while others have aaswri sampada i.e. demoniac tendencies. The people with
divine thoughts and tendencies are free from fear because of their pure hearts
and are capable of knowing the philosophy because of dhyaanyog (i.e. paying
careful attention). They are always doing 'saatvik' works i.e. good works with
morality and honesty. They keep their senses under control and study scriptures
regularly. Their speech is pleasant and they do not trouble anyone through
their minds, bodies and speech. Pride is not able to sway them and despite
carrying out their deeds in the world, they remain unattached and fulfill the
aim of human life. There is no need to say anything about people with demoniac
nature. Such people are seen everywhere undergoing unbearable sorrow of various
types from all sides.
Divine or demoniac wealth is the name for emotions or
tendencies only. Demoniac tendencies are produced in such men who constantly
think of perishable things of the world by mistakenly thinking them as permanent.
\the main reason for divine or demoniac tendencies is our heart. Usually the
man is swayed away by the demoniac tendencies of the heart and gets deeply
trapped in them without intention.
Today's men look physically healthy, but they do not have
anything except restlessness in their minds. The only reason is that bad
thoughts are continuously hovering in their minds. Mental pollution is increasing
so much that wicked and obscene thoughts arise while in sleep or when awake,
while getting up or sitting down, day and night, constantly. There is only one
solution for saving ourselves from this sorrowful situation and that is, to
keep the mind continuously engaged in clean and pure thoughts. It should never
be allowed to be idle. It is said that 'an idle mind is the devil's workshop',
therefore we should never keep the mind idle. \by keeping the mind constantly
engaged in works which are constructive and for the benefit of people, bad
thoughts are not able to enter in ite.
It is extremely necessary to develop the habit to keep
the mind busy in this way right from the childhood. \the impression of the
thoughts during childhood remains permanent. Therefore, children must always be
kept in such atmosphere whereby they constantly receive good thoughts. It is
essential that they see only good thins, hear good things and read best books
filed with good thoughts which increase knowledge. We should save ourselves and
especially our children from the blows which the foreign media are making on
our culture and make constant efforts to develop the wealth of divine
tendencies.
'Be busy, be happy and be healthy'. However a man is busy
in some work or the other, he is immersed in joy. With that his mental and
physical health also improves and there is an increase in the strength of his
soul also.
