The human mind has been an interesting topic of inspection since time

immemorial. Innumerable experiments have been conducted to study it and

draw inferences. But despite it all, mankind is still in search of peace and

happiness.

The human mind is like a child. It is impossible for it to go without creating

thoughts. Instead of forcing it to create zero thoughts or to stop thinking on a

particular topic, the mind needs to be attended to like a child. It needs to be

given reasons so that it understands why a particular kind of thought is

harmful to it. No matter what the situation, we can always adopt the art of

right thinking.

Thoughts are the basic building blocks of an individual’s character. What we

think determines the emotions and feelings we create. Soon they get

converted to words and reflect in our actions. Any action repeated multiple

times becomes our habit and soon our behaviour and eventually our

personality. Thus it is always wise to address the root level to bring outward

transformation.

The quality of information intake through our physical sense organs is

responsible for the kind of thoughts we create. If we listen to gossip or

watch movies portraying anger, deceit etc or eat tamasic food then it casts a

negative shadow on our being. Switching to a satvic lifestyle will

automatically make us feel light and positive from within.

In addition to the above, there is a philosophy of 3P’s that we can easily

practice and apply in every scene of life. The first P stands for personal, the

second P for present and the third P for positive. For example, if one person

is feeling angry, instead of telling “I am angry”, he can say “ I am a peaceful

being “. This will guide the mind to be in the present moment rather than be

stuck in past or future events. It will also lessen the emotion of anger and

emerge the sanskar of peace. Then the same situation can be easily

overcome.

In our everyday life, we face one challenge or the other. But those who

learns to befriend the mind, tackles life with ease and emerge victorious

always.
