Kids Creations - 33 - Battle with the Mind

Result of Creation-34

'the mind attains the nirvikalp state (devoid of thoughts of maya) only by listening to the Katha of Shri Purshottam Narayan with faith and devotional love.'- Vachnamrut Karyani 12 This means that we should listen to whatever Swamishri says and have faith in his words which will help us fight our minds.

We can battle our mind by not eating the tasty cake in school. We shouldn't step into bad company. We also should never eat out or go to the movies. Most important, we shouldn't leave satsang and never ever forget BAPA.

To please Maharaj and Swami we need to control our mind by setting standards and to stick with it. The hardest thing in life is to control our mind. It wonders everywhere but the only way to control it is to pray to Maharaj and Swami to give you strength to fight your temptations. And also to just keep focused on Maharaj and know who and why you are controlling it for. If you set standards then you know what's good and bad and know when to say NO to yourself and others. Jai Swaminarayan.

We can fight our minds to please Maharaj and Swami by:- making sure that we do not fall into the wrong company, make sure that whatever we do in our everyday lives we think of Maharaj first so that we know that we are doing the right things that Maharaj approves of.

Jayswaminarayan. We are always watching tv and never doing enough work.

Jayswaminarayan.

We must think if we do not fight our mind and stay away from bad company or bad habits, who will it hurt the most? Our parents, who have raised us lovingly all these years, will be tremendously hurt by our bad actions, as they will have to hold their heads down forever. Our beloved Guru, will also be very hurt, as we are the walking and living symbols of this BAPS sanstha. People will think that all of Swamibapa's kids act and behave like this. We will hurt ourselves too, as we will not progress so much in our life, in terms of good education, good money or good friends.

This story is very true because we can only move ahead in satsang if we fight with our man.Like for instance many times we have to fight with our man against Television ,Movies,Friends,Parties etc to come to mandir.So this incident shows that we should have mahima and faith in Maharaj and SwamiBapa and offer them each and everything before ourselves.Jaiswaminarayan

Fighting our mind is a hard thing to do. Bapa has made it easy for us to do this by giving us niyams. And if we follow these niyams we could fight of mind and please Maharaj and Swami. Start from easy niyams and as you get older gradually increase the amount of niyams. This will help control your mind to please Maharaj and Swami.

We can oppose with our conscience to please God when doubting His cognizance of our thinking. By taking up herculean niyams we can please Maharaj and Swami and attain one's desired fruits. Waking up early and implementing the venerable pooja with dedication, will help us excel in our studies. Sarvopari Bhagawan Swaminarayan will assist us in our tasks if we flip through the holy pages of the Shikshapatri with great circumspection; such is the glory of the Shikshapatri. Our nurturing Swami Bapa will shower His blessings upon us if we fulfill His wishes.

Jai Swaminarayan. I believe that we can fight our minds if we try our hardest. Take an example -: If we knew we had homework but our favourite T.V programme was on. Our mind would tell us to wath T.V rather then do H/W. This is an example of how we can control our minds. Each day we should pray to maharaj to help us control our evil minds and do the right thing.

Dear Balmitro, One way that we can fight our minds, is on ekadashi. I know for a fact that we all get tempted to eat food that we can't eat on ekadashi. But like the boy, we should all fight our minds, and make sure that we don't eat any other food. If you really want to eat, there is a lot of other stuff you could feast on, during this day!

We can please Maharaj and Swami by battling our mind. There are many ways to do this. One way is to do the tilak chandlo. When we are in a hurry we forget to do tilak chandlo, but if we do that then Maharaj will most likely find a way to get you from being late. Another way is that you must not eat onions and garlic. By doing this you can control your rage and also follow the Shikshapatri. There are many other ways, but in all of them if you control your mind you can go to Akshardham and also come out of the cycle of death and rebirth.

In the mind we always have two types of thinking one good and another bad so we have to go with good thinking but in this type of thinking we have to fright with many difficulties but at last we will win because swami bapa gives us energy to fight and if we always remain in his yagna and upasna then he will be happy on us and at last we will go to Akshardham.

We can fight our mind to please Maharaj and swami by we can only do good things and not fall for the bad stuff. We also have to go against the people who say bad stuff about our culture,religion,etc. Also, we can always think about others first beside ourself. We should also never go against our religion. we can also alwys think about our god before doing something.

TO FIGHT THE MIND WE MAY LIVE IN SWAMI BAPA'S AGNA.

RAJKOT, INDIA

In each and every agna that bapa gives, we should follow it thoroughly because we benifit mentally,physically, and spiritually. If someone(kusangi) wants us to do a bad deed we can think how sad Maharaj and Swami feel if we "hang-out" with such company. All the risks and dangers associated with bad company can alone defer us from it. We can fight out minds for our forever goal: Akshardham.

You could say "swaminarayan, swaminarayan"... or you could think of maharaj and Bapa to complete fighting your mind and that should defeat your mind. Doing mala or you can do ghar sabha to focus your mind on Maharaj and not the outside world. You can also do Ekadashi to please Bapa and Maharaj and fight over your mind.

Niyam-Dharma-we can get control over ourselves and we can discipline our mind so it can get used to the fact of being controlled. Smruti is a way of thinkin about Maharaj and Bapa, and it makes us think what God has given us, this will help to return the favours. Maharaj and satpurushes lifes, this can help us to gain inspiration about what our gurus have done and we can learn in that way, to fight our minds.
Mitul Patel (14)

To gain control over our minds, we should stay strong in our niyams. Niyams help us to discipline ourselves. Doing Antar-drashti is also helpful when fighting the mind, we can think about the things you've done in the day/week then pick out our mistakes so that we can improve that way. Smruti, is a way where we can focus our minds on maharaj and bapa. If we stay away from kusangi's you can stay away from bad things so you would not think of doing bad things.
Manan Patel (14)

Niyam-dharma-we gain control over our mind. if you keep control over our niyams, we discipline ourselves. Thinkin of Maharaj will pull ourselves in dhyaan and forget about other things. More time doing bhajan and bhakti will help us avoid thinkin of other things, so our mind stays steady and there will be no need to fight our mind.

Maharaj is all knowing and if you fight your mind, maharaj will be pleased. If your friends want to go to the cinemaor eat out, or even do something that breaks your niyams we should fight our minds, even if our mind tell us to go, and therefore it is important we stick to our niyams to help fight our mind.
Tilak Patel (14)
South London, UNITED KINGDOM

we can fight our minds to please maharaj and swamiby not watching T.V, swearing, lying etc. We can also fight our minds by doing things like Ekadashi and following niyams and doing tilak chandlo. Staying away from maya is also important, as it can be easy to fall into it.

i think htat our mind is like a bumbnle bee. As soon as we spot anything that is new, or exciting, we run to it straight away. Our mind wanders of to all sorts of places, for eg. we may think about breakfast whilst doin Puja. In my opinion you have to control your mind by threatning it. Just as Yogiji Maharj has said in the Yogi Gita, we should threaten our mind, by saying: 'if you don't do as I say, I'll smash you to pieces!' For example, we have been given the Niyam not to watch TV, however so many of us still can't controll our mind, and so we go against Maharaj, Swami and Bapa, by watching TV. If we try to cut down on TV then atleast then we are on our way to pleasing Maharaj and Swami. So overall I think that to control our mind we should think aboout who we have got (Maharaj, Swami and Bapa). Think about the difference between you and somebody else. You have got Bapa and to keep Him happy we should follow His AGNAS. And to follow His agnas, we are going to have to have a battle with our mind. I we want to please Maharaj and Swami, we need to fight our mind.

Jsn from this prasang you can learn alot but the main thing we should remember is that in the Swamini Vato Gunatitanand Swami has said "Ketlak ne Man ramade chhe,ne ketlak Man ne ramade chhe!A vat nitya vicharva jevi chhe"You should always fight you're mind and the best way to do it is to remmber Maharaj and Swami in ever second and every aspect of you're life wether you're at school or home, mandir or at you're frineds house always remeber the Satpurush and you will always manage to take over you're mind.By doing this you will not only gain the Satpurush's rajipo but his blessings and his smruti at the same time.
