As humans, we are naturally interested in the lives of others. Roaming amidst a sea of humanity, we find some people’s mind have an uncontrollable ambition to control your mind. So, they throw some nonsensical ideas into your mind, for you to get influenced by their ideas.
Other’s mind brainwash you that you should earn more and more money to pursue pleasure and comforts of life, as money makes the world go round.
Other’s food-obsessed mind tempts your mind to eat excessive processed food, which it is said, badly affects your mind and body in the long run. Their mindset also goes round and round thinking of all types of food.
Other’s evil mind have the energy of a ‘steam engine’ to break the peace and raise a storm in your family life with suggestions to dodge your obligatory duty towards your family, society and country.
We are repeatedly confronted with ‘dark minds’. I mean, other’s mind that makes you an accomplice to brutally kill innocent men; or use your mind to adopt crab-mentality, just to fulfil their misplaced desires.
Mind is a gift of God and we should not allow it to get polluted by ideas from other’s mind. If your mind obeys other’s mind, then your mind will be orchestrated for a merry-go-round, to talk the talk; walk the walk and jump and cry and dance the monkey dance to the tune of the monkey trainer — the other’s mind.
The solution to this problem of others controlling you is very easy. You should focus your mental vision to wipe the unwanted merry-go-round of other’s mind which has taken deep roots in your mind. If you remain silent to other’s ‘dadagiri’ your mind will be the victim; because silence is not marvellous always; sometimes it is disastrous.
You are the sole creator and supreme architect of your inner world. So, whatever the events and situations that occur in day to day life, your mind should not get crushed by opinions from other’s mind. Gautama Buddha said, “An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast who may wound your body, but evil friends will wound your mind.”
Edward Sandor Martin puts in a verse: “… with my earthly temple there is a crowd…humble, proud… I should be free, if I could once determine which is me.”
Many scientists today believe in the Supreme Being who answers prayers. You should pray: Lord, make me realize that money is not everything. It can buy us a comfortable bed but not sound sleep. It is responsible for throwing morality out of the window. Money can give entertainment but peace comes from God.
Lord help me to avoid over processed food which the other’s mind has made a habit in me; which harms my body and brains.
Lord, remove the idea of dodging my obligatory duties towards my family and make me realize that happiness can be found at your own fireside rather than in stranger’s garden.
Lord remove me from the envy trap of others mind’s crab-mentality that makes me an instrument to pull people from the ladder of success.
Lord, do not make me an accomplice to brutally kill innocent men to prove a point. Lord may your thoughts and your vision, make me wipe the wrong ideas of other’s mind that have taken deep roots in my mind.
