Mind
-----
Mind is a hidden body part in Human Body. Is mind part of Human Body only? Or is it of Mammals? Well, I think yes. Mammals other than Human beings also have mind. We can come to this conclusion by their actions. Have you ever seen any animal getting trained and listening to trainer? Did you observe friendship between a man and a dog? And the dog is helping him whenever needed? Did you see Tiger hunting? How it waits for long time before hunting? Those all actions shows that yes, animals also have Mind and they can think.
One of my friends once asked me, “Does mind remain in our brain or in our heart?” I laughed a lot and replied, “Need to check with our doctor!” Jokes apart, but Mind has no specific place in our body. When we think, we need help of our brain and mind helps us draw pictures of our thinking in front of our eyes. So, may be, it’s close to brain. When we dream about anything, Mind takes us to that scene that place immediately. Mind takes us on World Tour with no money needed. Mind helps us making plans.
We say often “I am not in a mood today” Is it due to tired mind? Does it need some change or rest? Is it since blocked due to many things? Is it due to illness? So many questions but there are only one answer. Mood depends on mind state indeed. Mind state is volatile so mood swings. If we are having weak mind then we will feel weaker. If we are strong minded, then we will feel stronger.
Lord Buddha once said, “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” If we think positively, our mind will be stronger and same with the body. Have you ever attended Self-Esteem or Personality Development sessions? My trainer used to say, “Whenever you will get up in the morning, say to yourself five times, ‘Today will be a good day for me’ and you will feel positive. Your day will be good.” We tried it but even though the days were not good, the dialogue gave us strength to tackle the situation. But is our Mind pure? Are we able to maintain purity of Mind? Are we able to think only good about everything in life? No, that’s not possible. And for that, we have to make ourselves thinking in that way. This will need practice and it will go on.
What we say is much important in life. We must think as much we can till we say anything. Just like Napoleon Hill said, “Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.” Our speech makes us suffer a lot in life. Hence we shall think many times at least in critical situation which can cause either success or failure.
Dictionary definition of Mind says, “It is the non-material substance or set of processes in which consciousness, perception, affectivity, judgment, thinking, and will are based.” So our words, our actions, our dreams, our creativity, all are having one base and that is Mind. Mind plays vital role in our life being a hidden body part.
My Mind made me think of this topic today and write something. What your mind asks you to do?
