Importance of having strong mind

Mind is a tool which helps to achieve everything in life. Mind works as a driving force behind every action. When you decide to do something, you need to have that strong mind to accomplish your aim. Strong mind is like fuel in the vehicle. When the vehicle has fuel, it would run smoothly. Take this example to understand the importance of having strong mind.

      When we are not well, and we don’t go to the doctor, we don’t understand the real reason behind our ill health. We take it easily but as we get to know the reason behind our ill health, we feel more helpless. Do you know why does this happen? Because our mind gets equipped with the thoughts of having something wrong with our health. This discourages our mind a lot! As it needs time to accept this fact that it has to deal with the upcoming circumstances which can be unfavorable.

    In the 7^th Shloka, Samarth Ramdas Swami asks mind to increase its power of bearing. He suggests mind that many situations would arise in life, where you have to bear the nasty words but don’t say anything! Just listen to the person who is saying these things. When you get habitual to listening to such things, you’d be able to be strong enough to face unfavorable situations in life. And the people who used nasty words against you, would come back to you when they realize their mistake and would definitely regret their actions.

     While travelling this path of being patient and being humble, you need to inculcate it in your words too. You need to use humble words while talking to everyone and you need to make it a habit. Samartha asks us to be humble while talking and he asks to be humble with everyone even if the person in front of us, won’t treat us the same way.  Samartha believes that this is the only way to live life and make even bad people love you. This is how Samartha Ramdas Swami pushes our mind on the path of creating this world the most peaceful and loving place to live.
