Contd from 02-08-14........ E- Satsang members missed out all our previous postings can read them in my timeline.... MIND - THE KEY TO LIFE - Part 3 by H.H.Sri Sri Muralidhara swamiji..... We take care to maintain good health and develop our intellect. But greater care should be given to the mind because good physical health and intellect become useless if a man is mentally afflicted. A man who is blind can use his other faculties to run his life. A man of low intelligence can run his life through physical labor. Is not Beethoven acclaimed as one of the best music directors in the world though he began to lose his power of hearing even while still young? Has not Stephan Hawking turned into a great scientist of the world while unable to even move his fingers due to a dreaded disease? But a mentally afflicted man is unable to perform any work be he of strongest body, highest intellect and wealthiest in the world. From this, one should understand the importance to be given to the mind. There have been several occasions when a young man has been brought to me. He would be very handsome. He would have gone abroad for higher education and come out in flying colors; [but] His mother would tell me, “He is refusing to take up employment. He is afraid of everything. He hesitates to do any work. He seems worn out physically. He keeps lying on bed. He has lost his self-confidence.” Even in this condition people, failing to understand the third need of man, try out some mantra or tantra, wrongly diagnosing his state as the work of some evil spirit. Thus, they weaken him further and push him to a state of no-return. Even in the initial stage, the person afflicted mentally can himself comprehend his state. But he avoids consulting a psychiatrist for fear of being labeled as insane or ostracized by the society. As a result, his condition worsens and later, others are compelled to take him to a psychiatrist. Further, those who are ignorant about modern medical facilities would advise [wrongly] on the negative effects of medicines. There are people who fear approaching a psychiatrist for this very reason. Thus, under this condition the treatment and the time taken for progress would certainly be long drawn. And, cure is delayed. !!! Beautiful explanations to follow.....stay with us.....- Be blessed !!! -------------------- Regards & Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan: Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Pl visit namadwaar.org/home.php or listen and chant along with the tune...
