The Mind is your Own Battlefield

I am responsible for what I say and not for your understanding of what I said. Many times conversations are taken out of context and one creates a perceived hurt in one’s mind when the other person says something which you understand in a totally wrong manner! It is best to ask for clarifications before jumping to wrong conclusions and thereby creating a mental illusion of hurt. Stay calm, stay peaceful, don’t overthink conversations and attribute meanings to it which exist only in your mind – the mind is a very funny thing! If you don’t control it, it will create havoc in your life. The mind is your own battlefield! The mind creates situations out of ordinary conversations into perceived hurt and insult. This results in mental agony. In life, you will face many such mental battles and how you tackle these battles will depend on the state of your mind. Your thoughts create the battlefield or the garden of peace. How you think and the company you keep determines your reactions to situations in life. If you are part of a positive collectivity then there are very good chances that your mind becomes a garden of peace. But, if your friends and companions hold a negative outlook on life, it is most likely you will be negative because herd mentality takes over. If you want to win the war – then all the battles have to be fought with a positive outlook on life. To get that positive outlook stay in positive collectivity which is available in all meditation centres. In such centres too, you will realise that you connect to only those people who vibrate in your frequency. Meditation is the key to overcome the mental battles and ultimately win the war!

Meditate, turn inwards and make your own battlefield (the mind) a haven of peace and harmony. Once your battlefield becomes a garden which gives the fragrance of peace, calm, joy and bliss you will have won the war. Come, let us meditate both alone and in collectivity (morning and evening, respectively) to attain a state of peace and calm – end result your battlefield is now your own garden of peace!!
