Mind is the cause for everything. How to keep the mind fit for the job? Mind is the major threat to the whole Universe. Mind is the cause for all good things as well as the bad things. Mind is the only thing to control. It is very difficult to give proper instructions to your mind to work according to your goal. The mind has no boundary limit. In other ways, it is bigger than the world. When it starts to work on the correct way, there would be no words to appreciate it. But at the same time, when it goes in the other way, it would be destructive. If you start to work on the following points, then slowly you can start to have the control over your mind.The first factor is the “broad thought”. What does this mean? When you think of you, you start to think of you right from the beginning till the end. In other words, you never think of others. This makes your mind circle very small and narrow. It saves money only for you and nothing for others. Here, you have to realize one fact that when you leave this world, nothing is going to accompany you. Your arrival and departure in this world is just empty handed. So, there is nothing to worry about it. Everything in this world is just temporary and nothing is permanent. Thinking of you alone is not sufficient to live happily. For this problem, you just try to think of others also. That is enough. For example, just you try to think of other persons, who are very closely associated with you. That is, you think of your family. Of course, charity begins at home. When you start to try on this, slowly you would be in a position to think of others also. That is, your mind circle would be enlarged.
In this Universe, we do everything only for happiness. If you are doing something, it would be surely to derive happiness to your mind. When you see a beggar, you are helping him in a way. The person who gets the help from you is very much pleased.
But at the same time, you are happier than the person who really received the help from you. So to say, just to derive happiness to you, you are helping him. Of course, this is not bad. This could be excused. But if you continue in the same way, after certain time, the happiness would not be there. Then it becomes as one of your qualities. Then whenever you help others, you would not think of it again. This quality broad thought Is the root cause for the other qualities such as forgiveness, generosity, grace and so on.
When your mind circle is enlarged a little bigger than from its original ring, then your help to the society develops. Your mind would become generous to every one and this would be always with a fresh look. This quality paves the way for the unconditional thoughts. When you see a bird, as long as you think that it is a bird, which means that your mind is in good condition. But when you start to think that it is a particular bird, the restriction comes to your mind. When you see an opposite sex person, you would not have any thought about sex and you would move with the person quite naturally. It is not necessary for you to control yourself as long as you don’t have other thoughts. When you see a beautiful girl, or a handsome man, your mind would start to enjoy the beauty. As long as the mind stops there, there is no harm. All the beautiful things in this world are meant for our pleasure. But the problem starts when the mind wants to posses it. It is always a problem when the mind wants to have anything for its own. Just because of the fear of the mind, we call or think others as brothers and sisters. It is not necessary for you to think in that way as long as you don’t have other thoughts. Just to control the mind, the terms are used.

You Are Not Lost

Nothing is lost in this universe as long as the confidence stays with you. If you have desire alone, it may take a very long time to fulfill the desire. But when you have confidence to achieve that, the confidence itself provides the requirements to achieve that. What are the requirements? The first factor to do any job is involvement. When you are involved in a job, that means that you are at the job. That is all. That never means that you have the involvement towards the job. It is something different. The job requires your body and mind to finish that job. When you are able to register in your mind whatever you do in that particular job, you can say that you have the involvement. What is the advantage of involvement? In fact, the involvement paves the way for perfection in the job. For example, if you happen to do a job regularly, you can find improvement day by day as long as you are at the job. The perfection gives satisfaction to the mind. If you are satisfied with your performance of your job you undertake, then it would be surely appreciated by everyone.
This is the stage, when dedication comes. That is, when you are satisfied with your job, the involvement would be more. When you are involved more, the resultant would be better always. At this stage, the mind would go deep into the job. That is, the thought would be about the job alone, even when you are not at the job. The mind would always be working on that job and when you start to do that job, that thoughts would go further deep and you are completely at the job. This is the time when your mind and your body are engaged at the job. This way of approach brings the betterment in the job. You are the most difficult person to be satisfied.
If you are satisfied, that means every one is satisfied. When you are satisfied completely, then slowly it starts boring. That means the mind thinks of the other ways on the same job. This is the first stage for creativity. What is the meaning for creativity? The term itself says that it is not the usual way of approach. That is, the mind thinks of the new things that would be useful to that job. When your mind thinks in the other way, your body implements the thoughts of your mind. But the result would be entirely different. This is the way to create new things. When new things are created, it becomes very useful in that job and it saves time and energy to everyone and the creator is celebrated. But in total, it is the same traditional way that gave you strength to make new ideas and ways on the same subject. For everything what we need is the base, which is the pillar. With the help of this pillar, you are constructing the ideas.
So far, we have been talking about the involvement, satisfaction, dedication, and creativity. For all these, your mind is the key. When your mind is in pink condition, then everything is possible. Nothing is impossible in this Universe. The fact is that the impossible things take a longer duration to reach and achieve it. But surely, you can do it without any doubts.
