Despite
the material comforts produced by scientific advancement, there is a lack of
health, peace and harmony in the society. Man's utter selfishness has poisoned
all relationships and now even people in the same family look at each other
with suspicion and distrust. The intimate and generous human relationships as
well as the feeling of mutual trust are gradually vanishing. Criminal offences
have grown up with an alarming momentum. Instead of extending mutual help
people are after each other's blood. The tendency of duplicity and deceit has
rapidly grown. It is evident that something is basically wrong somewhere. If
this is not identified and corrected, misfortunes and calamities will increase
in the same proportion as will the material advancement. Progress of an
individual and the society depends on its right thinking and right way of
working. In modern times attention has been entirely focused on material growth
and the means thus acquired have been utilized in increasing the material
comforts. The result is an insatiable greed, gross self-indulgence, an inflated
ego, deceit and gross self-centeredness. Abundance of material comforts alone
doesn't bring happiness; it also needs refined emotions and clear vision. For
the overall development of the society simultaneous expansion of material and
spiritual aspects is indispensable for the integrated life of man.
An
average person feels happy in response to happy events and miserable in the
face of sad events. Such a person is tossed by the tides of the external world,
and happiness becomes purely accidental. To attain tranquility, you must learn
not to be influenced by external circumstances. That is the only way to find
the state of stillness within. Once you know how to remain still, you can study
both the external and the internal worlds. In man both lower and higher natures
are present. Lower nature expresses itself through wrong thinking, lethargy,
disease, jealousy, hatred, anger, selfishness, doubts, fear and anxiety. Higher
nature expresses itself through love, kindness, contentment, compassion,
appreciation for others, courage, forgiveness, benevolence, aspiration, truth
and freedom. In a simple way we can say that negative thoughts leave a deep
impact on the health of body and mind. On the other hand positive thoughts
build a healthy environment around us. For perfect health and happiness
transformation from lower to upper nature is required. Few points related to
this transformation are given below (for details refer to the blog
http://vishwamitra-spiritualtransformation.blogspot.in/):
1. Follow the Righteous Path
Always
follow the righteous path, and obey the rules so that you could be fearless and
controller of your destiny. A guilty person always feels restless even with the
greatest of comforts and wealth. Fear exhausts life energy; it is one of the
greatest enemies of dynamic will power. Fear causes the life force that
ordinarily flows steadily through the nerves to be squeezed out, and the nerves
themselves to become as though paralyzed; the vitality of the whole body is
lowered. Fear doesn't help you to get away from the object of fear; it only
weakens your will power. Fear causes the brain to send an inhibiting message to
all bodily organs. It constricts the heart, checks the digestive functions, and
causes many other physical disturbances. When the consciousness is kept on God,
you will have no fears; every obstacle will then be overcome by courage and
faith.
When there is
righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character;
When there is beauty in
the character, there is harmony in the home;
When there is harmony
in the home, there is order in the nation;
When there is order in
the nation, there is peace in the world.
2. Surrender to God
Surrender yourself to God and you will find that your
life has become a beautiful melody. If you try to do everything in the
consciousness of God, you will see with joy that every day. He is choosing
certain duties for you to perform. It has been emphasized by spiritual teachers
that without faith in God and without the spirit of sacrifice, it is not
possible for a person to enjoy peace of mind and harmony in life. You should
sit in silence before deciding about any important matter, asking the Father
for his blessings. Then behind your power is God's power; behind your mind, His
mind; behind your will, His will. When God is working with you, you cannot
fail; every faculty you possess will increase in power. When you do your work
with the thought of serving God, you receive His blessings. Pray with a sincere
heart: God, let me remember You constantly throughout the day. Be with me in
every moment. Let my every thought, word and deed bring me closer to You. Let
me not hurt anyone in thought, word or deed. Lord, my hands and feet are
working for you. You have given me a certain part to play in this world and
everything I am doing in this world is for You.
3. Overcome your difficulties
The successful person may have had more serious
difficulties to content with than one who has failed but the former trains
himself to reject the thought of failure at all times. You should transfer your
attention from failure to success, from worry to calmness, from mental
wanderings to concentration, from restlessness to peace, and from peace to the
divine bless within. A negative thinker sees a difficulty in every opportunity,
while a positive thinker sees an opportunity in every difficulty. There is a good
proverb that "Problems and
difficulties are like big cotton bags they look huge for those who see it but
they look lighter for those who handle it"!
Regardless of your role in the field of psychology, research will always play a major part in the said career.
