1) LACK OF SOUND AND POSITIVE MIND.

Our Minds hush to a bright Omniscient -Aurobindo.

Mind is a subtle force in the body. Mind is the basic force for health and life. A polluted and negative mind cause sickness and shortens the life period. Sound and positive mind provides longevity with good health. The existence of Mind is inferred from the fact that even when there is contact between 'atman' (soul), sense organs and sense objects, sometimes knowledge is produced and sometimes not. So, Mind is an instrument of knowledge. It is something different from the sense organs. The Mind is a substance, while the sense organs are made of substances but do not constitute separate substances, the Mind is eternal, while the sense organs die with the body, because of their composite and element nature, the functions of the mind are totally different from the functions of sense organs. Further, the Mind is unconscious but endowed with action, whereas the atman, (soul) while is conscious, is different in that it is not possessed of motion. The atman (soul) is called the agent because it is conscious, while the mind is not so called because it is devoid of consciousness, although it is endowed with motion. The Mind is always restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong. It is always trying to convince the intelligence to make plans to satisfy the senses. More subtle than the mind is the intelligence and higher and subtler than the intellect is the self. The self is hidden in all beings and does not shine forth, but is seen by subtle seers through their sharp intellect.

The soul is very subtle energy than mind and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the body and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. In other words, every cell in man has its representative of the innermost (soul), the middle (mind) and the outermost (body); there is no cell in body that does not have its Will and Understanding (intelligence and consciousness). The tissues or cells could not become sick unless the Mind and the Soul prior to them had been deranged and so make then sick. The real sick man is prior to the sick body. And we must conclude there that Mind is the root cause for all sickness in the body. Mind influences every cell in the body, Human aging is fluid and changeable; it can speed up, slow down, stop for a time and even revive itself. Beliefs, thoughts, and emotions create the chemical reactions that upheld life in every cell. Wherever the thought goes, a chemical goes along with it. If you understand well about the psychosomatic symptoms, it is clear that mind and body is well inter related. Any shock or fear will immediately cause perspiration in your body or lost the appetite or any guilty thought causes palpitation in your heart.

One who has understanding and whose mind is firmly held has senses that are under control. For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so; their very mind can be the greatest enemy. So one should keep mind sound and positive.

How Mind gets weak and negative?
Mind always wants to satisfy the sense organs. In other words, everyone is working for; to increase one's happiness and pleasure, and to decrease one' suffering and problems. We also strive to be rich, beautiful, famous, knowledgeable and strong; for which we struggle a lot. During this struggle for attainment of unending cravings, we become and get the following negative mind:

Irritability, Anger, Restlessness, Envy, Jealous, Loss of Love and Affection, Hatred ness, Lust and Sexual abasements, Discontentment, Grief, Greed, Failure, Lie, Cheat, Addictions to Stimulants and Evil thoughts, and finally loss of real Happiness and Pleasure.

Such numerous negative thoughts and deeds finally make our mind weak and unsound. These negative vibrating thoughts de-harmonize the soul and the mind relation and finally make sick body, and shortens life period.

How to get Sound and Positive Mind?

It is simple. Get rid off and away from the aforesaid negative thoughts and deeds. The only method to conquer the disturbed mind is through Yoga and Meditation. Develop positive thoughts and limit the cravings. Love and Cheer is the secret for positive mind. The removal of cravings allows one to go beyond - go to tranquility, to dwell in the absolute nature of stillness, unutterable blissful peace. This is not a negative state; rather it is full awakening of awareness of reality unobscured by the deluded activity of thoughts and emotions. So one has to select the path to get sound and positive mind which has the right view, the right intention, the right speech, the right action, the right livelihood, the right effort, the right mindfulness, the right concentration.

It is concluded that one should understood the relation of soul, mind and body and keep the soul and positive state to live long happily.
