Lets suppose that a month or so go, you read the word, ‘Screver’ , looked up its meaning dictionary and field away the information for future retrieval. Today you sere trying to recall that word, but for some unfathomable reason, it eludes you. Why?
One reason could be the mental blocks that are jamming the highway of your mind. negative emotions are one of the impediments that can impede clear traffic. As the Bagavad githa says,… ‘ From anger results Delusion, From delusion results Confusion of memory…’ Not only anger, but a scroll of other unhappy emotions can fog your mind: fear, depression, self-pity, envy, grief, hatred, restlessness, anxiety. With this mist overhanging your mind., our sense can get dulled to the point where you are not registering even your immediate environment or experience. This you may:
· Pass a friend on the street , look at him do not see him. · Listen to someone who’s talking to you, but do not hear the person or later recall single word they said. · Touch a snake in the wild undergrowth, But do not feel it. · Eat a delicious meal served to you, but do not taste it, or later even remember what it was you ate. · Inhale the gas leaking from your cylinder, but do not register its smell- with potentially disastrous consequences .
Make a conscious effort to weed our negative thoughts from your mind, to send it positive, harmonious massages. The great sage Paramahansa Yogananda, asks us to remind ourselves every day: ‘ I am prince of peace, sitting on the throne of poise, directing my kingdom of activity.’ Memories this sentence. Say it yourself whenever you find yourself in a situation that threatens to upturn your mental equilibrium is more and more easily acquired and that finally it gets embedded as a natural feature of your thoughts cape.
Once this happens, you won’t find yourself turning into a mass of quivering jelly with a bad case of exam nerves or interview fright. The mental equilibrium you’ve installed in yourself will still those butterflies in your stomach: All you will need to do is take a deep breath and tell yourself with confidence ‘ It will all come back to me in a minute.’ And it will.
