How to deal with incessant thoughts that disturb our minds.

In our day-to-day lives,

We have to deal with multiple problems that often create stress,

Fear,

Insecurity,

Distress,

Rivalry,

And so many unwanted disturbances in us.

It seems almost impossible to keep ourselves free from such things.

In spite of our best efforts,

This modern-day lifestyle leaves us,

Many a times,

With uncontrolled thoughts and a disturbed mind.

We feel a profound need for peace and calm at such times.

We may also lack the capacity to regulate our thoughts and subsequent actions.

For many of us,

The mind can be compared to a pendulum,

Which,

If not regulated,

Puts the clock out of order.

Likewise,

We too require a well-regulated movement of the mind.

In general,

We try to control the mind using restraint and force.

That doesn't work in the long run.

The mind only rebels further and with equal strength.

Regulation of the mind is possible through proper heartfulness meditation practice.

The appropriate method is considered to be that of meditating while staying unmindful of uprising thoughts.

We may even try treating these unwanted thoughts as if they were uninvited guests,

Ignoring them as far as possible.

Unwanted thoughts will then cease to trouble us.

Regular meditation will certainly make the mind peaceful.

We also begin to develop a better capacity to concentrate due to sustained meditation practice.

And so,

The more we practice,

The more we find that the simple act of meditating every day results in a calmer,

Sharper,

And focused mind.
