मन गोरख मन गोविन्दौ, मन ही औघड़ होइ।
जे मन राखैं जतनकरि, तौ आपैं करता सोइ॥१०॥

संदर्भ―मन को वश मे करने पर ही उच्चतम स्थान मिलता है।

भावार्थ―मन ही गोरखनाथ है मन हो पर ब्रह्म है और मन ही औघड़ नाथ है। मन ही इन पदों पर पहुँचाने वाला है। यदि मन प्रयत्न-पूर्वक वश में रखा जाये तो यही इस चराचर लोक का कर्ता, नियामक ब्रह्म बन सकता है

Learnings 01

 1. Approach someone by first knowing yourself. You will know others automatically. If you are honest then you will know if someone is corrupt. You are empathetic , then you know someone is cruel.

2.  Start doing now. 

3. Be  open to the  maximum pain that can be inflicted upon you. No pain , no gain. Be open for physical , mental and psychological pain. Then you will learn . It will open doors for innovative things in your life.

9. There is one thing which you need to re learn (points mentioned in other blog entries)- Allow others to stay the way as they are. This will save you from being crackhead !! 

10. Pay attention to every thing you do. When you talk pay attention to other person; when you study , study with full attention; when you review, pay attention to each details. This will save relationship, career and finance. 

It is called Sati or mindfulness in Buddhist philosophy. 'Right attention' is one of the 8 fold paths that Buddha philosophy teach. 

Students should be taught to read slowly, sit with ambiguity and listen without interrupting. A mind that is concentrate can find peace and mind that is not, can never find peace.

When mind is turtled : How to prevent it?

 I use term "turtled". Mind knows well when it goes turtled. There are some forces in the world, and around you that makes the mind turtled. The origin of these forces are- 

1. Negativity around you

2. Persistent bullying behaviour by someone. 

3. Adamant attitude 

4. Ego and arrogance 

Take little steps towards it. 

1. Think positive fore every few minutes . This stops recurring negative thoughts to linger on. For this faith is required. 

2. Resist bullying in small steps. Take positive steps from your side. Respond rather than over react. 

3. Say, but don't control. 

4. Lessen it by taking small steps. 

I cam across very beautiful article in Hindu over how mind can be prevented from being turtled.

Read it and then you know how turtling can be prevented and better be checked at its incipient stage.
