HOW TO STRENGTH THE WILL TO CONTROL THE MIND

It cannot be said that  we have no will to control the mind .The very fact that all of us  have our own inner struggles indicates that we have the will .But in most cases this will to control the mind is not very strong.

Our will to control the mind can never be strong until and unless we have deliberately and irrevocably  rebounded pleasure  as one of the main pursuits of our life.The canker which eats away the  vitality of our will to control the mind is the pursuit of pleasure .It  is like this : if you have  a servant who is aware  that you depend on him  to procedure you  illicit drugs and if you both enjoy the drug to gather , you cannot then control that servant.The same is the case  with the mind .The mind which we user for seeking pleasure and pleasure  and enjoying pleasure, we can never control  until we give up seeking pleasure .Even after giving up the pursuit of pleasure it will not be easy to control it for the mind will always have past incidents  to cite  to embarrass us.The strength of our will to control and  the mind will be in proportion to the pursuit of pleasure .Unless the pleasure -motive is over come,no matter What else we  do, we can never perfectly control the mind .The derivative of this truth is that  those who are reluctant to renounce the pleasure -motive are not sincere  enough  the pleasure  - motive  are not sincere enough in waiting  to control their minds, what ever their professions.

By  renunciation  of the purist of the pleasure is not  meant renunciation of the purist of the joy .By pleasure is meant the enjoy meant  of seance -pleasure or the gratification arising from what  sir Ramakrishna  calls the "UNRIPE EGO"  ,both of which obstruct  the attained of joy or bills .It is by going beyond pleasure and pain that one one attains joy or bills, which is the very goal of life .There is no equation of giving up the desire for joy  or bills, for it is integral to us  our real nature being Existence-knowledge -Bills. about  the method of overcoming  the pleasure   motive  some thing  will be said in the next section. opposites  sometimes look alike .Two types of persons do not have inner struggle;  those who have become unquestioning  slaves of their lower nature , and those .all  others  inner struggles , which are the lest result of inadequate or unsuccessful attempts  at controlling the mind .The most  importing thing is to strengthen the will to such a degree that even in the face  of repeated  failure  we are not disheartening ;rather , that with every new failure to control  the mind we are  roused to fresh endeavors with new enthusiasm.

Now  how do we strengths this will  to control the mind?We have to remove the cause of weak sens of will .and we have to inject strengths in to  it by ensuring the presence of suitable causes.

No dought some  of us  have struggle with our minds but we have to faced repeated failures. so  we have  come  to believe  that controlling  the minds  is not  for us.
