Thoughts on the Human Mind
The human mind, one of the most complicated, vast, highly responsive part of the human body. The complexity of the mind is so that it is very easy for anybody to get lost wandering into the thoughts. And this complexity makes the mind all the more difficult to understand it and bring it under control. The mind stands our as the central hub where all the information processing happens and all the commands are given out to the body. It can be very closely compared to a Army commander in charge of his forces. And in a war it all depends on how well you manage your forces, how well you control and co-ordinate them.
The Vastness of the mind is yet another astounding factor that has left many great people puzzled and many others in search for it. The kind of thoughts that can be contained in a human mind are so diverse and enormous that it is very difficult to control the input of thoughts into the mind. Exploring a human mind alone can take infinite time as no body as ever been able to realise the boundaries of the mind. It is just like watching the sea from the shore and thinking that the horizon would be the end of the sea. The inputs to the mind start from the very day a human is born into this world. From the tiny observations that he himself makes about the things around him to the teaching he gets from his parents and teachers alike are all very influential factors for the development of a human mind. I can also say that depending on what thoughts come into the mind, a character takes shape. If the thoughts are natural, pleasing, gentle and straight so would be the personality. Whereas on the other hand, if the thoughts fed in are filled with hatered, voilence and anger so would be the outcoming personality of the person.
The responsivness of the mind is yet another fascinating trait about this extremely complex manifestation in man. In each of our lives I am sure we would have come across many situations where we have responded to some actions very fast, sometimes even without our knowledge. That Reflex action of the mind makes it all the more interesting a part of us, and soon after the reflex is over we tend to wonder as to what actually happened at that point of time. So much of information and structuring has gone into the moulding of the human mind that it becomes very difficult to concentrate on one particular thing at a moment. So many millions of IWs(Information Waves) are passing through the mind every second that each of us can call ourselves a Genuis pertaining to the mind.
Now you would have got a breif idea about what my conceptualization about the mind is, the next topic that I would like to talk about with regards to the human mind is its Control. Owing to its highly vast and diverse nature, it is very difficult to control the mind. It is always regarded that one who can gain mastery over his mind can achieve anything and everything. Now, this is what I feel might be the reason behind that saying - a person who has gained control over the mind can very easily drive his senses and energy to focus on any area he wants and get it done. That is the magic that comes along with Mind control. Once we gain control of the central hub, it becomes simple to manage the other dependent actions.
The senses play a very vital role in mind control as they are the windows to worldly pleasures. And these senses can only be controlled through proper mind control. Many great personalities in the world have been known for their phenomenal success by the simple art of mastering the mind.
You might all think that now having said all these, it is almost impossible to control the mind. But the answer is - Yes, the mind can be controlled through routine practise of meditating upon oneself,our strengths and weaknesses and bringing together all the energy that is getting disposed from us each and every day. Make time for a simple half an hour every day in solace and think about your day-to-day activities and try to put a justification to each activity that you are doing. Pick out the ones that you feel are vain and try to bring them to justice. You will slowly realise that you get a better understanding of YOU as a person, and once you know who YOU are, there lies the door to the mind open and inviting you to take control over it.
