Pranks of mind - Chandramowly
0 likes237 views
Wild animals and demons reside in the human mind, causing wicked thoughts and pranks. The mind is like a battlefield between good and evil sentiments. Humans forget life's true purpose by becoming distracted by the pursuit of wealth and victory. The mind is filled with countless thought birds that chatter noisily and prevent rest. Like Ravana's ten demonic heads, the human mind contains hundreds of changing faces and personalities that make it impossible to achieve consistency. True humanity is to embrace one's natural essence and remove false masks, treating all people with compassion.

The document tells a story about a mother who is worried about raising her children in a world with drugs, alcohol, and glamour. The author responds that operating out of fear will transmit fear to children, while operating out of trust will transmit trust. Values come from one's own belief system - if one believes life is miserable, misery will be attracted, while believing life is beautiful attracts happiness. This is the law of attraction. The author advises focusing on good things happening to children as a strong variable that will impact them. While children may seem against advice, the real issue may be how the advice is administered. The story is then told of a mother educating her money-minded son in a thoughtful way ratherOh mind relax please
