Secret of Success
The Secret of Success:
Success is a factor that is decided by our purity of mind. If our mind and deeds are pure, the success will follow us. Our failures and bad lucks are owned by our sluggish thoughts and desires. If we make these lazy and lame reasons clear out of our life, all our problems will disappear, automatically.
Mind is the bank of all those negative and lazy thoughts, so, if we purify our mind that will be a total solution for all our problems. Before we get started up to clean or purify our mind, we need to know that our mind had got tidy. Knowing what are all the dirt that our mind is having, we can able to clear it all away, easily.
Being aware of what has to be done, we have to take the responsibility of clearing them. We need some higher amount of guts to clean it, of course, because, they are all let in by us. It is us who let that negativity into our mind so again, it is us to clear them from our mind We are the owner of our minds. So, we must drive it in the correct direction. Mind is not stable for all of us.
It jumps here and there always, in order to stabilize it, we must stick on to the divinity. Sanmargha doctrines can lead you in the path of divinity. The measureless power of divinity can only stabilize our mind departing it from the vicious thinking and the lazy habits. Mind is normally a chameleon, which sticks onto where it is. When we provide something which is divine, it turns to be the vessel of that divinity. Mind could be compared with the shapeless water. As the water has no specific shape and it gets the shape of its vessel, our mind transforms into the things to which we direct it for.
Mahan Vallalar whole heartedly thanks the God for washing away the impurities of his mind with His glorious hands at his poetries. You can ask that how could such a great personality, a great saint had impurities on his mind, but it is human nature to let some subtle impurities into our mind without even knowing it is bad. Human knowledge always stands on the ignorance and hence the wisdom plays a vital role on the enlightenment. So, he thanks the God for clearing his mind from the bad things.
He says that as it is God who purified him, he could be able to serve the people who starve. Hence, if we are in the place where filled with love, grace and mercy, our mind will function properly on its own way.
There is a beautiful story among the sages which explains about the power of mind.
Once, two saints was about to cross a flooded river. They saw a young lady who was also intended to cross the howling river. Both of them felt sad for the girl, as it is very dangerous for her to swim across the flood. They couldn’t help her either, as they were orthodox celibates. On practicing celibacy, it is a sin to touch a woman.
But one of those two saints decide to help the woman and he takes the lady on his shoulders. He then saves the lady and she leaves on her way. The other saint got astonished to see his friend who violated the terms of celibacy. He couldn’t tolerate that his friend had touched a woman, insulting the laws of celibacy. So, he questions him angrily about that action. The saint who saved the women simply answered, “My dear friend, I left her on the shore itself. But it seems that you have taken her on your mind for so long distance. Do not carry her on your mind. Actually, that is against celibacy. Helping others irrespective of their gender is not violating the laws of celibacy”.
Thus, our mind has to be pure whatever occurs at the outer world.
Mind has a good bondage with our food. What we eat, decides what and how we think. It is scientifically proven. Sathvik foods such as fruits, vegetables and spinaches can create good vibrations in our body and maintains the mental and physical health. Mahan Vallalar has mentioned that eating Sathvik food is a major discipline that a human must follow.
Hence, our minute habits decide the nature of our mind. If our habits are good, then our mind will be god. If our mind is good, our life will be filled up with success.
