How to control your mind :- Story :- Goutam Budha Learning

How to control your mind

To understand how to control your mind I will tell you a story this story is taken from Gautam Buddha's learning

There was a shopkeeper who is child so naughty that he used to to trouble customer more specifically people who used to to wear turban ok app he used to to catch that cat or turban and throw it away

Many times customer used to be very angry and used to shout at shopkeeper shopkeeper was very much tired sick and tired telling repeatedly that child not to do so

Once that shopkeeper got the chance visit Gautam Buddha

Shopkeeper tell him his problem about that small child

Gautam Buddha says I can solve this problem but you have to give me a promise that you will not interfere when I am talking to the small child shopkeepers agrees

Now first day when Gautam Buddha visit that shopkeeper shop that small child again comes nearby Gautam Buddha and catch the cap or turban and throw it away

Gautam Buddha says wow very good very nice so funny and encourage that child

Second day when Gautam Buddha arrives that shop again that small child wanted to to throw that cap or turban away

But before he do so Gautam Buddha says I have bought Axe and wood please cut the wood with the help of axe 

That small child agrees

So everyday Gautam Buddha tales some work to that child

After few days that child forgets about throwing turban or cap away and people feels relaxed

Now you will say that what is the connection of mind control with the story

In this story that small child is your mind and you have to tell that small child or your mind what to do

If you assign some task to the mind and keep up your mind busy your mind will not do any  not essential for negative work that you would not like to do on in its own which is is controlling your mind

So you will give the direction to the mind

Our mind having basic quality of of doing some particular work

We have to assign our mind specific task in absence of any order or any direction from that particular person mind will behave on its own

Many a times we tell our mind that don't do this thing don't do that thing don't do particular task but mind will exactly do it that particular task which we don't want

So instead of saying mind don't do particular task we have to give him direction or we have to assign our mind the task that we want to do we want to achieve some goals so we have to tell our mind how to achieve that goal and objectives so our mind will keep remain busy in doing that task and will not able to to roam around here and there and will not create trouble for us so ultimately mind will be in our control

Like water the property of water is too slow but we have to give the direction to the water in the direction we want to go for we want to water should go

In absence of any direction water will move or go on its own which is not desired or which is not expected or accepted

Now in this example remove water and put your mind instead of water and read it again and understand

hope now you have understand to control mind is to assign our mind some particular task which we will be beneficial in the future
