Controlling the mind is the way to connect with divine power or energy. Once you can control your mind, you find the way to enlightenment. Buddha gives a beautiful quote for all humans. After you can control your mind, you do not need direction. You can automatically and naturally find it. All confusions in mind will disappear. Buddha says that all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him, and he can find the way to enlightenment. It is the true knowledge of life. Once you understand this knowledge; you are on God’s way, but it needs more meditation.

Nowadays, the education system works the opposite way. You can’t think independently. We all walk a way which is created by specific artificial mentality. We all have become puppets. If you want to become free, practice mind control. Only then can you see the right view. Do not believe me because I say so. Do not believe it because someone says so. Do not believe it because you read in some book. Only you decide what is right for you.

There are many invisible bondages in life - religion, rich, poor, ego etc. You say, “I am Hindu”, “I am Muslim”. Think again, reconsider it. You are nothing. You are not Hindu. You are not Muslim. You are born just a simple, pure consciousness, an innocent being, not Hindu or Muslim. But you were given a Hindu mind. You were forced and imprisoned in a particular condition. It’s we who create the limitation on mind. In reality, mind is infinite. Even after taking so many births and deaths, why can’t we understand the reality? Everyone wants moksha (liberation). We want to be free from all limitations, all slaveries. We want to be totally free. We need the right direction. That is mind control. All are good people but the system and environment give shape to the world. Meditation is the deepest form of freedom. It makes your mind peaceful, calm and happy. It makes it easy to control your mind.

You must first become silent. Whatever happens around, just observe. Do not think. Just become silent. Do not judge. It makes your mind pure. Then you can go beyond division. Do not believe in virtue or sin. Only believe what you have seen in your life. Just observe. All distinctions and divisions are manmade. Good, bad, pure, impure, moral, immoral etc., are all a result of attitude of man; they are not real. Since I realised this secret, I have lived a divine life. Nothing is harmful in this world except our negative thoughts. Nature is so friendly, but we cannot understand its depth.

Most people I’ve seen in my life, are not conscious about their thoughts. I believe it is not possible to control all thoughts, but we can be aware about our thoughts. If you become positive, then the path is very clear. Eyes are the door of the mind. You can read your mind through your eyes. When I go into deep meditation, I become more silent. I have an empty mind. Just witness ten minutes of this silence and you will be amazed at the amount of peace you feel. You can enter a new world. If you know the language of silence then you can relate with anything. Even rocks as they are silent, trees are silent. Everything that exists will become silent. The whole universe will be silent. You will be able to talk with trees, air, clouds and then everything will be possible. This is mind control. Without meditation, you cannot practice mind control. You take upward from your thoughts. Meditation means silence. Not thinking about anything. Not thinking at all, just being open, ready, welcoming, loving and receptive. Just give love to this universe and this universe will fill your life with love forever, even your death. Mind control means there should be nothing in your mind. It’s a ‘state of no thoughts’, totally empty.

Gratitude can change your mind. Give gratitude to everyone and everything. Be happy. Be silent. Do not live in the past. Do not live in the future. Do not be sad about your life. Nothing is stable. Everything changes at the correct time. If you become sorrowful then your sorrowful thoughts will attract more of that situation. If you become happy then your happy thoughts will find more happiness. Live in the present situation. Do not be worried about what will happen in my life? Just live in the present situation. Then you can use your mind to maximum.

Same conclusion. The best way to live in the present is to become peaceful and silent. Keep a peacock’s feathers in your house if you are feeling inappropriate. The beautiful feathers will spread in your body. Feel this moment. There is something magical in these feathers. They help you live in the present situation. Before going to sleep, feel nature and become more conscious. Ten minutes before sleeping, many thoughts continue to pass our minds. At night, the mind is working on these thoughts, so it’s important to become more conscious about your thoughts before sleeping. Also, in the morning, you should be aware of your thoughts. Make them positive so your whole day becomes positive.

Affirmations also affect our minds. It makes you more positive. The practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment will make you best. A positive mental attitude, supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything. Repeat affirmations to yourself and write them down frequently. I am so grateful to all authors who give powerful books to the new world. People have changed their views. Spiritual consciousness will bring about a sudden change in the whole population. Once you keep feeding your mind with positivity, you will become the whole universal mind.
