Articles: My Thoughts | Power and Influence of Mind - Mr. Sai Srinivas Suri

Taken from a discourse given by Sant Shri Asaramji Bapu
(www.ashram.org)
What results can the beliefs and values of one's mind bring to his/her life? Scientists are doing several experiments to explore this.
A True Incident:
A man was given the punishment of life sentence for his crime. Some scientists went to him and said,'You will be hanged to death on so and so date, is that true?' He replied that it was true and that there was no way he could be saved. Then the scientists asked him if he could give his body for experimentation before his death for the welfare of mankind. That man agreed. The scientists took written permission to perform this experiment from the court.
The scientists, the psychiatrists and the doctors came all equipped the day the man was to be hanged. They started their experiment.
They told the man that anyway he has to die, so instead of getting hanged he would die of snake bite. They said that they have to find out how the poison spreads in the body and how a man dies after snake bite. They convinced him that they wanted to explore about the remedy to cure man of snake poison. They asked the man if this was OK with him. He gave his consent for the whole procedure.
The scientists gave a life demonstration of death of an horse due to snake bite. A few minutes after the snake bit the horse, it fell down. A few seconds thereafter it trembeled and died.
The scientists then told the man that this procedure will be followed for him and this is how his final journey shall be.
The man's eyes were covered with a black band and upper half of body was covered with a veil so that he could not see anything. Now he was notified that in another two minutes the snake will bite him.
They used a rat instead of snake for the whole procedure, but the man was told that the snake had bitten him and that he was about to die.
Scientists knew that it was a rat but the criminal assumed that a snake had bitten him. His mind was convinced that a snake had bitten him, and therefore he had a strong belief that he would die in the same manner as the horse. As soon as the snake bit him, the internal power of his mind produced trembling in his body. The man trembled in the same way as the horse had done and died.
Scientists investigated his blood and found snake poison there when actually no snake had bitten him.
He died because he was meditating on the fact that he will die of snake bite. A person gets heart attack also in a similar way. Income tax raid may happen at someone else' place, but thinking of what shall happen to him, he gets a heart attack. Thus, the mind has strong influence on the body. This is called Mental Influence.
Scientists could understand that mind influences the body, but they were surprised finding snake poison in the crimainal's blood, when actually snake had not bitten him. Where did it come from? They drew the inference that mind has so much power that it can even produce poison!
The saints and rishis of India knew about this power of mind thousands and thousands of year back. They knew that strong mental determination can render poison harmless and vice-versa. Meera Bai, the great lady saint of ancient India, is an evident example of this fact.
It is due to the influence of mind that we start trembling by visualizing a tree to be a thief in the dark or by assuming a roap to be a snake. But in reality if we assume an actual snake to be a roap, we pass by keeping our foot over its head confidently.
The state of mind has strong influence over your body and your behaviour. Mind is a KalpaVriksha, that which fulfills all wishes. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you lose clothes or money or good relations with friends and families. Let anything happen but do not let the mind get polluted, do not let the sincerity of mind get lost, because it is the mind which will enable us realize God, attain the ultimate bliss.
Don't panic over little things. He who takes a decision in a panic state gets betrayed. He who takes a decision in an afraid and angry state has to suffer a lot. A decision taken with serene and blissful mind is the best one and works well. The righteous decision has the righteous consequences. If we know the art of keeping the mind healthy even at the time of sad circumstances, then we will be saved from downfall.
If the pure and healthy mind is diverted towards attaining self realization, then this mind leads to realizing the True Self. But, if the same mind is kept busy in the materialistic relationships, acquiring and taking care of materialistic things, then that very mind leads to the destruction of the Self. Therefore it is said:
Mind is the cause of the bondage and freedom of a man.
Therefore, let the mind be the cause of your freedom and not bondage. Make your mind listen to the knowledge of the True Self, Bliss, True Love; and let it mediatate on these; thus let it make a move forward on the Path of Freedom.
OM! I AM FREE.... I AM AT PEACE.... I AM THE OBSERVER....
