How to keep your mind active
After a time a man tends to settle down. He has achieved a secure position , his children are grown up and experience has made tasks easy. Thus he becomes a comfortable person and rarely realises how much he has sunk into a rut until some one younger gets ahead of him.
When this happens he may fall into pessimism and develop a grudge against the world in general. Or he may wisely, decide to find out why it that a man of his ability and experience was passed over in his way. He may then realise that he has gone into a rut, and that his mind needs waking up.
One symptom of his condition Is forgetfulness. Most people would have good memories, if they would keep them exercised. As the body will get weak if it is not exercised. As the body will get weak if it is not exercised, so too the mind will become inefficient if it is not given enough work.
Memory should not be doubted . our mental capacity is enormous . modern scientist tell of great number of brain cells each capable of use. Most persons do not use half of them .
Realising that we have such a mental capacity , we should learn to use it. Trust your memory , for this is the best way to keep it young. Secondly , get your mind active by developing new interests. One prime reason for forgetting is inattention. You cannot have the kind of impression which is essential for prompt and clear recollection, unless you are attentive, you generally take interest in what you like.
It is good idea to develop new interest by attending to new things. It is observed hat visitors to a town often see and know far more about the town than the natives do. Cultivate interest in your town and surroundings.
Few places are without their beauty spots, their architectural features. Treasures of art etc. if you do not understand art and architecture. There are excellent book which aim at helping newcomers. There is no better mental tonic than the cultivation of the sense of beauty.
A way good mind stretching exercise is to learn beautiful verse by heart.
To supplement these methods, one might learn to speak in public without notes . it is impossible to do this effectively without good preparation which again will stretch the mind. It will also give great pleasures, for to deliver a speech in which you give a real message without consulting notes can be a most thrilling experience.
An almost endless variety of exercises of this kind can be practised. They serve to promote the spirit of adventure.
New knowledge of every kind should be coordinated. New experiences should be sought and then associated with old knowledge.
When you go on a holiday insist on going to a new place where you will have to see different things. You are taken into a new world which freshens a tired mind and stimulate interest.
If you know a little of anew language and you can go somewhere where you will be forced to speak it, so much the better it is a new experience which stimulates your mind.
You can sit down quietly and review mentally what you have done throughout the day, asking yourself such questions as “What new things have I seen or heard to day? What is its meaning to me? “where does this new knowledge fit in with what I already know; what are the similarities and the differences?” what new ideas do I see coming out of the comparison?”
Questions like these keep us alert. A man who deals with his mind in similar ways will never he subjected to disappointment.
Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta
Give-up everything to Him, resign your self to Him and there will be no more trouble fro you. Then you will come to know that everything I sonde by His will, To live in the world or to leave it depends upon will of God. Therefore, work leaving everything to Him. What else can you do?
To work alone thou last right. But never to the fruits thereof. Be thou neither actuated by the fruits of action , nor be thou attached to inaction
IF HE EXIST
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.

Power of Words
Monday13 January 2014
Power of Words
There are words of wisdom. Sincerity, courtesy, respect, appreciation,, humour, hate and tanks, words meant to destroy, words that are dynamic, gentle, and kind, delicate words, words of love, all embedded, with meaning.
Words rule our life and create results . therefore one should be careful before one speaks . when one appears before an interview board speaking to one’s higher authorities, one should weigh ones words wisely. The words should not hurt the feelings of others.
A Sanskrit poet states “Tongue makes relatives and friends, by wrong use of words one slips into an inescapable trap”
In public relations men and women are experts in negotiating and handling their client. They have the special quality to deal with persons by using polite , courteous sweet and persuasive words. They do not show any negative feelings in case they fail to strike a deal. One can master the art of good public rations to attain success in life.
One should not lose one’s temper . in a fit of temper there are chances of missing good opportunities in life even though one regrets later. It is like spilt milk.
A sociable man avoids all the setbacks of speech . he trains and controls his tongue.
Words that flowed from the tongue and pen of great men like Socrates, Voltaire, Roosevelt, Gautam Buddha, Swami Vivekananda and many other created history . Peace and harmony are the gifts of a disciplined tongue . it always better to avoid nude and harsh words at all time.
Mental Health
In order to maintain good mental health a man must be able to accept life as he finds it, to see himself as others see him, to rise above misfortune, to be comfortable n his relationships , to have a sense of humour which enables him to laugh even at himself, to demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively with those around him and to accept responsibility for his own action.
Quote from the True Charm and power of Vedanta
Remember always what the Lord says in the Gita: “That which is like poison in the beginning and nectar in the end , that happiness is declared to have the quality of goodness, being, born of the pure knowledge of the spirit . but the pressure that comes from the connection of sense and sense objects, which is pleasant in the beginning but like poison in the end, is declared to come from passion “ We must use the power of discrimination and distinguish right from wrong. It is very easy to be carried away by our desires; but he is a true hero who can overcome them by exercising the power of discrimination.
Weakness is death. My own experience tells me that strengthen only is religion, strength is truth. Anything that makes us weak is sinful. With all our power we must avoid that. We make mistakes to learn. But after learning once, we must work with determination and never allow any weakness. This is the greatest of all works. This is best of all Yogas. How can we expect to get rest til we have conquered all our weak desires and have become masters of ourselves? Shall we obey our sense? No; we must not . Let children follow them to get some experience of the world. But never shall we obey them. We must command them at our will. When we have become masters of ourselves we shall have no more bondage, no more fear but peace and bliss. Now no more talking, no more reading, no more theorizing; the time ahs come for “being and becoming” On! ON! Let the world remain busy with its own concerns , but let us ward steadily onwards without looking at it even.
