Dear Friends,
SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY
We are passing through a very critical time which has inactivated us, mainly due to the fear of Corona infection.
Stay at home, keep social distance, avoid contact and clean the hands, limbs and face , wear mask always etc., are the constant reminders through mobile, tv and videos in youtube and whatsapp. Drinking hot water also has thus changed our usual life style. why? to save body and life.
Our body is controlled by the mind. If our body is be compared to a motor vehicle, then the mind is its driver..What will happen if the driver is incompetent, and cannot control the speeding vehicle?
Damage caused will not only be to the driver and the uncontrolled vehicle , but also to the life and property of many others unconnected with the defective lorry and drunken driver on the way. That is why, the vehicle is frequently checked for its proper good condition, fuelled, maintained and certified..
The Driver therefore should be knowledgeable, know his vehicle's defects and behaviour, effect repairs required to set it right, feed the fuel required for its running, know the road rules for safe driving, procure spares required as reserve. for replenishment/repairs etc.
He has to get trained, be experienced and certified before he can confidently handle the vehicle for his own safety, the safety of the vehicle and safety of others on the road .and the public property on the way.
The body grows and needs nourishment for its well being and controlled to avoid misuse, abuse or disuse...Otherwise it will be like an efficient driver asked to drive an inefficient defective vehicle.
The Mind is nothing but collection of various thoughts. It is expected to be properly tuned, trained and tested to control the body.
The Mind is nothing but collection of various thoughts. It is expected to be properly tuned, trained and tested to control the body.
The mind can be sound only when it is disciplined with good thoughts based on the wellbeing of the whole humanity, filled with respect and love of all other beings, guided by proper knowledge and self condidence in the service to humanity.
Our world would be a heaven if everyone realises the secret of having a sound mind in a sound body and practices it for the benefit of everyone.
