Taming the mighty mind



The word mind in a general sense holds an awful lot of importance considering it's imaginative ability and the limit being the sky. After all, Einstein himself said, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” However, sometimes we let it dominate our own lives like it has a say, just for being a vital organ.


To be more specific, our mind can  prove to be essential only when we have total control over it but not the other way around. Since, it has the tendency to distract you in the blink of an eye, and put you in a state of thinking that you’d never wish to be, and worst of all is, its ability to assume half of the things from an irrational perspective which contributes to mental unrest.

Just as a horse trainer rigorously develops control over a horse by means of his taming skills. Similarly we have to acquire tools like meditation or any mental or physical exercise which helps you attain focus, or even maintaining a journal in order to keep check of our day-to-day activities can also help us in making necessary improvements. 


It’s almost impossible to achieve anything in life unless we have a stable mental perspective on life. I’m not trying to generalise that everyone’s got a weak mind, but if you do realise at any point that your mind should be tamed, then try using the above mentioned tools to counter the problem. Even as little as maintaining positive attitude towards your goals and objectives can furthermore help you immensely. Above all, a strong faith or believe can conquer anything in this universe.

You know, Sadguru always says that the biggest enemy is nobody but yourself, it's not outside, it's inside, most of the time,  referring to our own mind which is in the brittle state, given the tech-centric culture that we got adopted to. We’re always in this false pretext that as long as our external body is healthy, so will be our internal mental health, but unfortunately that’s not the case all the time.

A calm and composed mind will help us to pave way into most difficult of difficult situations, whereas an agitated mind will just further add to mental disharmony, which in turn leads to lack of focus and disorganisation. Always remember to acknowledge the power of mind over body and spending some time to harness it with positive thoughts is crucial given the funny society that we’re presently living in. Stephen Hawkins may have been physically disabled but his powerful mind and intuition had always let him explore the uncharted territory.


I’m merely a messenger; it’s upon you to bring about that change. Like I mentioned before that our mind is like a wild horse, it has to be tamed from time to time, so that it does not play dirty tricks on us and become a barrier rather than becoming a tool to enhance our overall spiritual progress in life. The reason I’m emphasising on spiritual elevation over material is because there are certain things in life which money cant't buy.


“The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore.”

Procrastination jinx

In a capitalist society, you are likely to be judged by your contributions and the efforts that you put in to break the bread or let’s say, to get the wheel moving to making a living. Either way, you ought to get physically involved in order to accomplish a certain task. But the real question that we should be asking ourselves is whether we really get engrossed with passion in whatever we choose to do? We often cite lame reasons to actually delay or procrastinate on our day-to-day tasks, which in turn leads to disorganisation and we end up being inconsistent most of time. Not to mention, today’s generation has resorted to leaving things to the last minute, whether it be, preparing for exams, doing projects, meeting the office deadline, whatever it is, we leave it to the last minute. However, that doesn’t always do justice to our achievements per se. Of course, nobody can be held accountable expect for "us", as far as procrastination is concerned. I’m certain that t...

Self sufficiency

One of the essential qualities of any person is to be in a position where he/she can handle things by themselves without depending on others. Given the self-centric and selfish society that we live in, So, it requires us to strive for being independent on various aspects of life. Having said that, I have no intention of generalising by saying that the entire society is outright selfish.  Life is unpredictable, and there’s always a hint of precariousness attached to it. Henceforth, it’s imperative to inculcate productive habits through which one can develop the personality holistically. When I say productive habits, it could be anything from reading a good book to focusing on various intellectual areas which needs to be addressed in order to have a broader perspective on any given subject. The idea is to evolve constantly, not the other way around. And evolution can only happen when we devout most of our time doing something productive as opposed to engaging in frivolous ...

Tales of nature

In today’s day and age, we are mostly occupied with things that has no significance in spiritual development, such as meeting the office deadlines, whether it be children heading to schools, or people doing jobs that they hate just to make a living, I categorise all these under a modern day rat-race that we all have got accustomed to . We have been led in believing that money holds an awful lot of importance in order to live a healthy lifestyle. We’re just concerned about the external growth but not internal. We barely even have time to invest for our own benefit, whether it be physical or mental. When was the last time have you been to a park amidst nature to take a walk, when was the last time did you watch a beautiful sunrise or sunset, painting the sky in different hues, or when was the last time you looked in the sky in the night to observe the shimmering constellations? We got habituated to live in a concrete jungle as we totally disconnected ourselves from nature. ...
