The Quiet Mind-Part II
Roberto De Vincenzo, the great Argentine golfer, was just about to drive back home in his car after receiving a handsome cheque as the prize money for winning a major tournament, when a women dressed in shabby clothes approached him saying that her little daughter is seriously ill and the doctors have given up all hopes and that there are lots of bills pending.
Touched by the story, Vincenzo took out the cheque he had just received, endorsed it in the name of the women and handed it over to her praying for the child's quick recovery. But after a few days an official in the golf club informed him that the women was a fraud and that she had no sick baby as she was unmarried. Hearing this Vincenzo replied, "You mean to say there is no dying child? Thank God for that! This is the best news I have had this week!"
How we interpret the situation for ourselves alone determines our state of mind. There is not even a single situation in the world which can take away the peace and happiness of a person who has mastered this art of inner quietitude.
How we interpret the situation for ourselves alone determines our state of mind.
Just as a cyclone derives its entire power from a calm centre, so too when the mind is rendered quiet after having tuned to the Divine, it comes out with all the creative and innovative thoughts, thus blessing the whole world. Whereas a restless mind generates only heat, a quiet mind alone comes up with the much needed light!
According to Swami Vivekananda, the greatest sin in this world is to consider ourselves weak. All the powers of this universe are already ours, but it is we who close our eyes and cry that it is dark!
When we look within with a mind hushed to silence, we come to realize that never were we away from Him at any point of time. Hence silence this deceptive mind and reclaim the infinite glory of our true self is the urgent demand from all wise sages and saints of all times.
