An Empty Mind is a Devil’'s Workshop

          It is generally observed that the people fluster to go in the uninhabited houses and ruined buildings in desolated remote areas far from population because it is a generally believed that desolated uninhabited houses are the refuge of ghost-demons, evil-spirits or Satan. Not only deserted places but many a times the people leave to distant places in search of services, businesses or other activities and before leaving they put heavy locks on the doors and gates of their houses but the persons with satanic mentality nevertheless enter in the houses by force opening the locks and encroach the houses in their absence. Even in metropolises too, these types of incidents are reported repeatedly. The house owner when comes to know and gets involved in bustle, till then it becomes too late because a person with malafide intention who may be named Satan till then takes abode in that house. The police and law are hampered because by fraudulent means he proves himself to be the legal tenant. He deposits the rent in court. Thus, the law-suit takes its own course and by the time the decision is pronounced, either the house-owner would have left for his heavenly abode or may be readying for it.

          The same state of affairs is with our physical body. As and when the resistance power or the immune system gets weaken the disease-germs seize our body. Our mind also possesses the same state of affairs. The devil possesses the empty mind and does not apart easily from it. Here, the question arises that how the mind gets emptied and which is that devil, who settles in the mind?

          What is mind? How can it be defined? One, who reflects, thinks with due care is called mind. It is said, "Sankalpavikalpatmakam Manah," means the mind is the form of intentions and alternatives. Every second the unnumbered thoughts pass and fro the mind and get changed. The mind being very restless does not concentrate at a point, keeps on scurrying. The second contrary thought immediately follows the first one and thus the conflict between thoughts continues. Your mind is busy if you are engaged and so the fickleness of the mind gets minimized. If the restlessness during a work continues, the perfection of work can not be expected and so is to take in due account the advice to work with concentration. And, as and when the work is completed the mind starts getting restless, and the thoughts in between may come in existence from anywhere. These undesired, uncontrolled, unwarranted, unusefull, negative and malign thoughts are Satans like computer-virus which utterly destroy the programmes feeded into computer. It is to say that as the mischievous and malefactors encroach the uninhabited houses so the Satans in the form of negative thoughts also occupy the empty mind. If there is an abundance of negative thoughts from earlier, they then to fill up the empty ends (corners) of the minds pull in immediately the new Satans i.e. new negative thoughts.

          These only are our negative thoughts which cause to emerge the harmful feelings like as: fear, despair, worries, tension, frustration and pressure and lately result into the different type of ailments. These negative feelings cause to the secretion of harmful chemicals or the hormones which weaken the natural resistance power of body. The intention of Satan is to forward into wrong directions. Our negative thinking represents the Satan, a form of evils and negative feelings. The Satan thus is to be forced at every point of life.

          The next problem now is, how to get rid of the Satan, in the form of negative thinking? As to guard and save the house it is a more appropriate way not to leave it vacant or unoccupied in the same way to safeguard the mind is not to leave the mind empty. Keep the mind busy not only with healthy and positive thoughts but also with auspicious thoughts.

          The one more way to protect or save the house is to rent out it to a gentleman. It will serve two purposes; first it will yield the permanent and regular income and second the house will be safe and protected. The same method may be applied in the case of mind also. Let the mind be occupied by noble and useful thoughts as a gentle tenant.

          As we can be selective in the case of a tenant so can we be about the selection of thoughts also. Select only the noble and useful thoughts amongst from endless chain of thoughts and fulfill the mind only with the positive thoughts. The unhealthy thoughts can not enter in mind till the noble ones exist there.

          Now let us talk about tenant. A honest tenant always pays the rent regularly and in time. But the positive supporting thoughts are more beneficial than that of a tenant. Mind is very powerful. The mind is blessed with the ability to translate the thoughts into reality. If you, for your health or the personality development, have thought about or have planned about or have set an image then definitely it will become true. The thought or the imagination will became a reality. Your feelings or determinations will take a physical formation. What a benefit or the rent can be bigger than it. There can be no better alternate than this for achieving a goal in ones life. Handover the outlines of your goals or targets to your mind and it will help you in attaining these.

          Don’'t let the mind wander hither and thither. Somehow keep it busy and for this motivate the mind towards positive thinking. Move toward self-study. Follow the stimulating and inspiring literature. Take interest in literature, culture and arts. Enjoy theatre instead of cinema. Try hands on any art as writing, acting or a creative art. Remove regularly the mind anyhow, from negativity. Keep it distinctive and stop on positiveness or healthy thoughts, own these forever. We all can differentiate between good and bad. Concentrate your entire mind only on worth using your prudence and collected knowledge. Imagine for good only. Think about good and let it be firmed. This imagination will become a reality.

          The one benefit, which is most important of all above, is of positive useful thoughts and positive attitude in the form of experiencing of more pleasure if the mind is full of positive attitude. The feeling of pleasure helps in keeping the body healthy because in pleasure-state the beneficial hormones are secreted from the endocrine glands which provide us the resistance power. Thus, the positive attitude helps not only keeping us happy but also strengthens the immune system of our body so as to prevent us from being sick and to get rid of the diseases if we suffer from any ailment.

          It is not bad to have day dreams as Shekhchilli used to have. It is very essential to have day dreams but the dreams must be positive. The ending of our dreams should be at a positive point. What are dreams? The only expression of the thoughts existing in our subconscious while in sleep. It is only a symbolic expression. But the dreams taken intentionally or positive day dreaming will change the entire scenario.

          So, come. Let's transform our negative thinking by filling the mind by positive thoughts and ever new dreams. Do not let these slip out of the mind. No two contradiction can happen at the same time.

          Therefore to avoid negativity choose positiveness and handover it to the mind. It is only the preventive measure, by using which the entry of Satan into the mind can be checked.
