Mind is like a pestering child: We have to learn how to manage with it.

Ever you spend your time with children aged below eight years so? Walk with them in the streets where all types of things were available for sale? So, you sure do have an experience how the child behaves. If you are a mild and smooth character, you would be pestered everything to buy that attracts the eye of the child and almost everything attracts the eye of the child. In such situations what is the best way to behave with the children? Getting angry or beating the children does not help much. Just try to remember how you behaved in such situations. Just remain silent without bothering with the persistent demands of the child. After sometime the child understands that there would be no use in pestering you and remain silent.

This is the way you need to behave with your mind also. Mind is nothing but like a pestering child. It makes all types of unnecessary demands whatever work you may be indulged in. Just don’t try reason with it or get angry or try to comes terms with it. Just be calm without bothering whatever may be it demands. After sometime it very well understands that there is no use in pestering you with demands and remain silent.

You just need to learn how to go along with the mind and manage it. I don’t use the word discipline here. It is too harsh a word and you cannot discipline your mind. If you try to discipline, if you try to put your mind into order, it becomes even more wild. Just learn how to manage with it and how to go along with it.
