THE MECHANISM OF RIGHT REASONING
By K. K. DIXIT
There is always a huge crowd of thoughts in the mind which are though in existence but have no power or liveliness to reach conclusion. Thinking is the inner current, a process, to link the thoughts, to reach to conclusion. The inner planning of these thoughts, to get them linked to each other through the process of thinking to give them the shape of conclusion is the management of mind. To discipline the mind to act or react under certain circumstances in the practical life, is an important aspect of the mind management.
The regulation of thoughts in the channels of mind is of utmost importance to every individual. The process of thinking produces a by-product named ?reasoning? which forms up the behavior and a permanent phase of one?s character. Thus if the reasoning is right, it would demonstrate the right behavior and ultimately would form a character which would confer happiness in life. As the reasoning is the by-product of thoughts and the thoughts which are either being generated by us or borrowed from others, have their own existence. In our daily life we are always receiving them from others and in turn distributing to others when we talk to them. This process of receiving and distributing goes on and on; through out the life. The borrowed thoughts carry the reflection of the quality of personality of the person, from where they have been borrowed. At the same time, as to how we view them also plays an important part. In turn when we pass them on to others by argument or reasoning, our own standpoint too manifest, of which, most of the time, we are not aware of.
The arguments of reasoning have been classified in Hindu scriptures as ?Simple Reasoning?, ?Positive Reasoning? & ?Negative Logic?.
It is one?s own standpoint which creates a heaven or hell around oneself. A person living with negative logic,looses all charms of life, always unhappy with his ?present?, creates a depression within him, becomes victim of various diseases and ultimately making his body unhealthy and ulimately unhealthy mind.While,a man of positive thinking finds out the charms and happiness even amongst the odds of life. Enjoys a healthy body with a healthy mind, having the power to take the right decisions. Only a healthy mind produces the power of right thinking which gives desired results.It produces the power to solve the problems and the power to struggle to reach fruitful conclusions.This creates a self confidence within; which boosts the zeal to make the life happier and happier. It is how he makes his own destiny. Every time, he gets a favorable solution, he calls it a success. Success in having turned the unfavorable to his favor. The success which is not received by fluke but has demanded his hops, determination, efforts, awareness and concentration. He feels immense joy and satisfaction because the success which he has received is the outcome of his struggle and having conquered a battle on his own.
But there is the other side of the coin too. The series of the successes thus achieved creates an EGO within himself. He becomes egoistic and over-ambitious. EGO can be affirmative or negative. In a negative ego, there is a dominance of ?I? in his self consciousness. This is the impure state of mind. A negative ego is turned into a negative proud, which in turn affects the power of taking right decisions. It give a wrong direction to the currents of the thought and to the way of thinking. This leads in the long run to the failures of life. A proud of having immense wealth, power or fame is different from being proud of our nation. The former proud is a negative proud while the later is positive. A CLOSE WATCH must be kept. Ego in its negative shape, eclipses the mind and unables it to understand the reality.
We must also be very careful about our gestures. We must try to be simple, so that others may understand us in right perspectives. This can be done by dropping our ego. When the ego is dropped, the man becomes submissive. Though ego is essential for life, but it is essential only in its positive form. For the development and prosperity in life, a positive ego is required. Man becomes pure with a positive ego or with an egoless-ego. It may also happen that it may seen on the surface of the conscious mind that one has become pure; but a possible hidden ego in the depth of unconscious mind may have its existence. In such a case it may appear again whenever it would get an opportunity. So every precaution has to be taken to make sure that the ego is eliminated from the conscious as well as unconscious mind. Burn the seeds of ?Ahankar? (Proud) to be a pure man of pure mind which would elevate the pure thinking and a pure thinking would give pure results.
