The common saying “an ideal brain is the devil’s workshop” is very true. Therefore the mind must be given healthy and creative occupation. It should be fed with high thoughts and noble inspiration. Otherwise it will drift to low things and become scattered. In its scattered state of mind cannot be controlled.
If we can penetrate to the core of the unsteadiness of our mind, there we shall discover as its causes a wrong thought, or many wrong thoughts, one acting upon another. So to steady the mind we need to guard our thoughts with maximum steadfastness.
A healthy preoccupation of the mind need not necessarily be monotonous. If it should be, it might turn into unhealthy drudgery. There can be a chosen, refreshing variety to ensure the healthy preoccupation of the mind. The link between the sense organs and sense objects is the mind. When the mind is withdrawn from sense objects, the sense organs also imitate the mind, that is to say, they also withdraw themselves from their objects.
The entire secret is will power which every normal person is capable of developing, but in most people it is in an undeveloped state. So in present day to day life everyone live in a dreamland, in a world of shadows and not in that of truth and facts. So control your mind in the right way to lead a great life.
