Restless Mind
(Girija Iyer)
Human mind is deeper than oceanand no one can ever measure its fathom. It is constantly changing and wavering.It is restless and ever unpredictable. It is indeed a difficult task to controlit. Just like an untamed horse which struggles against its rider, so also thehuman mind is perpetually putting a strong resistance against the one whoendeavors to tame it.Even great seers took a long timeto still their minds. It is an uphill task to attain full peace of mind becausethe very nature of mind is its dynamic behaviour and mysterious ways of responding to any given moment. Timeand again people have come up with various ideas to bring serenity and calmnessin themselves. But all their efforts seem to go in vain.Ancient people have come up witha simple but effective concept to monitor and steady the shaky mind. Meditationis the best remedy that they have given us. Meditation helps you to clean yourphysical as well as your mental aspect. It steers you slowly but steadilytowards perpetual joy and eternal peace. Your whole attitude towards life andthe various situations it strews on your path alters.Deep meditation calms theshivering mind and reveals a new path to rediscover itself. When you meditateclosing your eyes, you are fully aware about the rythym of your breaths whichwere otherwise taken for granted by you. You become conscious about theinhalation and exhalation which gives you a new kick to your body. In fact youcan actually experience the amount of energy present in your body. You become attuned with God and his creations.You can distinctly discover that you are no different from nature. Withconstant practice you can actually know the ultimate truth which is everpresent in us, but hidden by the thin layer of ?Maya? or illusion.The moment you realize that thiswhole world and all the things, whether living or non-living?, areinterconnected and interdependent, you will experience infinite happiness whichwords can?t describe or human mind cannot comprehend. Because ultimateblissfulness takes you to the path of enlightenment which is our actual goal inlife.
