Lao Tze is a very wise teacher and one of his advise is that " if you correct your mind, everything will fall into its place". It truly means that the mind controls very thing including our happiness and our well being.
If we have a positive mind, we will be positive and if we have a negative mind, we will be negative , this is as simple as that. Yes, we do not need to complicate matters and put also of assumptions in our path. Tame our mind , we will have inner peace and we can tame our emotions.
Just imagine, when we have a headache , our whole body will be in pain and sick. If we take a panadol to cure the headache, we will be well and happy again. This is also the effect of drugs and it just numb the brain and its thoughts and we will be floating , flying and in nirvana. However, drugs is bad for our well being and is illegal.
It is better to train and tame our brain through meditation and discipline rather than choose a simple way out. Just start with a simple exercise to focus our thoughts . Discipline ourself to do it regularly and make it a part of us. It is our life style and it is within our control and it is our choice.
The problem with people is that they lack discipline and want an easy way out. Not doing anything but expecting something to happen is a rediculours expectation. There is a saying that " if we do the things the same way regularly , the result will get better " in this case. Hence, start at your own pace and be satisfied with the small progress until you can gradually grap control of our mind.
Never rush the practice and take your pace so that it will not bore you out or hurt your mind. For some, the result can be fast and for some people, the result can be slow. Never compare against another person but to keep your pace.
Eventually, you will attain the greatness and start to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Believe me, it is a matter of practice and train your mind to be your servant. They can be trained.
Namaste.
