WHy ARE ‘As we move into the 21"Cen- tury, we see that Science and Technology have reached heights, which could not have been imagined a few hundred years ago. There are so many modern amenities today like air-conditioners, vehicles, 5-star hotels, the finest of vehicles, communication system due to which the en- tire earth has shrunk, etc. The purpose of Sci- ences is to either eliminate all miseries, or at best to reduce miseries, and thereby bring more and more happiness in the lives of the common people. So what should we expect to find in the technologically most advanced countries? We should expect the most cher- Scanned with CamScannerished qualities of love, peace and fraternity amongst the citizens. However, the present day scenario is just the opposite. The world’s leading eco- nomic giants, such as the United State: America and Japan, although hundred: times more scientifically and technologic advanced than India, strangely show the hi est suicide rates amongst the young and ric citizens! People are somehow ‘surviving’ it these countries. They are always anxiety-rid den, frustrated and very disturbed. We ai not philosophizing — we are just stati facts. The divorce rate in America today i more than 75% in the first three years of mar riage. More and more people (especially of the higher income class in the Western coun: tries) are forced to take sleeping pills in order to sleep at night, and they also visit psychia~ y trists regularly. People are SO tersified oo have to screen their guests through a len: their door, and for better safety they install several security systems. This ‘culture’ has now invaded Indian cities. People move ex- aclly ike rots or zombies with no emotions, or at best false emotions. If one moves out of the house after dusk and comes back alive, successfully escaping the drugs and women- hunting violent criminals, he can be consid- ered exceptionally lucky. WHAT IS MISSING IN OUR MODERN SOCIETY? His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, would often give an example, which illustrates the condition of modern society today. If we take a pack of dogs and put them in a locked room, what do You expect to happen? Would they be smiling 3 Saree Scanned with CamScannerat one another? Would they develop lov {ationships amongst themselves? Ong hardly expect that! In fact they would be ing, screaming, biting, quarreling and one another. A very similar situation ca observed in today's society. If ‘Knowledge Power’, what are we doing with all our kno edge if we are unable to control the world sit ation today? One need not blame the government, politicians, bureaucrats, police offi- cials, judiciary etc. for the problems that the world faces today. We are IN- TERNALLY DIS-TURBED, so we create disturbances for others. We have to evaluate the nature of our mind to understand the ART OF MIND CONTROL. 4 AMA ARE YOU A BAG OF FLESH WORTH RS, 110 ONLY? —— rere The biggest problem is the identity crisis. Who am? Am I this body, mind, intelligence, or the head, or the nose? If one can find out one's real identity, then he can work to- wards achieving lasting happi ness. We are not these bodies; we are pure spiritual souls (Atma). The existence of the soul is not based on the blind faith of a group of religious followers, as some people wrongly think. It can be proved through logic and understanding, Once a scientist analyzed all the chemicals present in the body and the total “Market Value” of the components of the body was just Rs. 110/-.1 Any- Scanned with CamScannerKNOW WHO YOU ARE BEFORE YOU KNOW YOUR MIND AMI THIS BODY?

Youwill forget the cycle ort fis 2000/- on the road and rush the ody of your friend worth Rs.110/- to the near est hospital. Even if your friend, riding in a Mercedes Benz, faces a head-on collision with another car, you'll anx- jously rush to the hospital with his Rs.110/- body, bothering the least about the Rs 25/- lakh car lying on the road side. So it is not difficult for a sane man to appreciate that there has to be something very special and supe- rior in a living body, which everyone values so much, even though one may not be in com- plete knowledge of the eternal soul.

Infor- mation is gathered by the THE SENSES five knowledge -acquiring senses (jnanendriyas) viz, the eyes, nose, ears, tongue (taste) and skin (touch), and the body acts with the help of the the reservoir sense enjoym Scanned with CamScanneralways related to the five object of th senses, namely -form smell, sound,tast and touch. Everything we percive in the world falls one of the five categories of sense objects, Now we can illustrate with an example how the body-mind-intelligence mechanism works: When you are walking along the road ant you see a gulab jamun in a sweetmeat shop, first your eyes (one of the jnanendriyas) attracted by the gulab jamuns. This info! tion is passed on to the mind. The mind two things: the previous experience of the) sweet taste of gulab jamun and the input 0 seeing gulab jamun. The mind consults intelligence and the intelligence dictates tt your hands and legs (karmendriyas) to go t the shop and purchase the gulab Jamuns. In this way co-ordination lakes place between the inanendriyas, karmendriyas, the mind and intelligence, Wi THE CHARIOT OF THE BODY. following analogy can be found in the a of the Upanishads, which helps one to understand the gross body, mind, intelligence and the soul, It is described in the Vedic lit- erature that the gross material body is like a chariot. The soul is the passenger in the chariot. The intelligence is the driver and the mind is the driving instrument (the reins or ropes). Finally, the senses are the horses. If the senses (horses) are uncontrolled and wild, the body (chariot) will be led in the wrong di- teetions. If, however, the intelligence (driver) is strong and resolute, then he can exercise tight control on the mind (the reins), and thus restrain and discipline the senses (horses). The overall purpose of the whole soul- body arrangement can thus be fulfilled only if the senses are controlled. Therefore, we can understan the mind plays a pivota Scanned with CamScanneris the determination of the intelligence, me yet above the intel And yet abov ligence is the soul ; rea itis stated in the Bhagavad-gita (3. ei vorking senses ate superior to dull mat- ter, mind is higher than the senses; intelli- gence is still higher than the mind: and he (the soul) is even higher than the intelligence. THE MISERABLE ME The nature of the spitit soul is Sat-Cit-Ananda ie. the soul is etemal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. In contrast, the body is temporary ang full of ignorance and suffering. Because of this incompatibility between the two, the soul, \who is meant to be happy in an eternal blissful atmosphere. is never happy in this temporary miserable body, The soul has to repeatedh ly ex- Perience birth, old age, disease and death in Scanned with CamScanner= Hence Shankaracarya has sung: Punar api jananam punar api ‘maranam, Punar api janani jatare sayanam ‘ha samsare bahu dustare kripaya pare pahi murare “O Murari, Lord Krishna, | am repeatedly tossed in the waves of birth and death, tam forced to be born again and again and forced to die again and again. In this way | have been occupying the wombs of millions of mothers. Please kindly shower your merciful glance upon me and deliver me ‘rom this ocean of nescience.” 'n this way, the soul some- WY times is damned to occupy a dog's body or blessed to get a human body, depending on his iN Past desires and activities, This °76 of birth and death is like @ 18 a metimes you are at the forts otmOS atthe botiom Similarly the Or on taking one body after another sot Ne becomes completely purified and be- igs a surrendered devotee of God. NATURE OF THE MIND The mind (which is part of the subtle body) plays a major role in causing misery to the liv- ingbeing conditioned in material existence. So itis very important to know how the mind func- tions, its nature, its behaviour, and the method of controling it, in order to utilize it positively. THE JUMPING MONKEY ING MONKEY The mind is sometimes compared toa mon- key that jumps trom one branch to another, he mind never Stays stable on one object. It has a nature of thinking about one object at One lime and to think of another at the next 19 Scanned with CamScanner 4 ]| moment. The mindis also some- times compared to a child who is very restless and mischievous. Everyone is torn apart com- pletely in trying to satisty the de- ated no matter how many of its desires you try to fulfill. The mind is similar to an un- chaste prostitute who wears dif- ferent color dresses at different times to attract different types of men. Similarly, an uncontrolled mind completely ruins a person. Even a great personality like Arjuna frankly ad ‘mitted that the mind is very difficult to controb the Bhagavad-gita (B.G. 6.34) Arjuna says: chanealam hi manah krsna, pramathi balavad drdham tasyaham nigraham manye vayor iva suduskaga i d ulent, obstinate an stare subdue i | think ‘troliing the wind. is restless O Krishna, an fic in con Si a Arjupmt could have been possible for him to voi the wind with weapons, but innit al against the mind he felt he had no hope. =the mind very strong. UNCONTROLLED MIND: WHA’ CAN DO TO YOU “The position of a person whose mind and senses are uncontrolled becomes pitiable. On one side the tongue is pulling him to arrange for tasty food; then thirst drags one to get a suitable drink. Simultaneously, the sex organs clamor for satisfaction, and the sense of touch demands soft, sensuous objects. The belly harasses one until itis filled, the ears demand to hear pleasant sounds, the sense of smell hankers for pleasant aromas, and the fickle Scanned with CamScanner4 easing sights.

Inthe Bhagavad-gita Lord Krishna also @x- plains the nature of the uncontrolled mind. Such a mind is always making plans to enjoy the different sense pleasures. Lord Krishna says, ‘While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust ises.
