Power of a calm mind

Power of a calm mind: The tension of modern, complex living has invaded the quiet sanctuary of the soul. There is the necessity for cultivating stillness in the mind. When mind is disturbed, you bring many problems in life. Your attitude and behavior changes and you break relationships with your boss, subordinates, relations and customers. Anger, depression, anxiety and all other negative emotions result into many diseases in the body. When the mind is tense, you take wrong decisions and bring many other problems in your life. In a motionless, completely still and clear lake, you can only see its bottom. But if a stone is dropped in the middle of lake, ripples are formed, at first one, then a few, then many. The same is the case of a disturbed mind. When it is filled with negative thoughts, you cannot see inside your heart. Archimedes could not get his answer while sitting at his worktable,  when his mind was filled with anxiety and tension. He threw everything out, went into the bathroom, and started taking a bath. With his mind relaxed, the answer came to him. He hopped out of the tub and ran about the streets naked, shouting Eureka, Eureka (I have found it). With this principle of buoyancy, he found how ships, weighing thousands of pounds, could float on water, whereas a small coin sinks.  Dr. Frederic Benting, Noble laureate, a brilliant Canadian physician and surgeon, spent considerable time to find an effective way to arrest the disease of diabetes. One night when he was in a drowsy state (mind becomes calm since conscious mind is submerged to a greater extent), the answer came to him to extract the residue from the degenerated pancreatic duct of dogs. This was the origin of insulin, which helped millions of people.  In any examination, with a tense mind, you cannot remember the answer even though you know it. Therefore, there is a need to keep your mind cool, always, in all circumstances, and lead a successful, prosperous and victorious life.
