Mind
is attracted towards the glittering of materialistic world. Mind wants to seek
more and more. It is never satisfied with the sensual pleasures from the
external objects. Mind trapped in the pleasure seeking from sensual objects becomes
one’s biggest enemy. Mind should be trained to withdraw from sensual objects. Non
attachment to sense objects leads to liberation. Thus, one’s own mind becomes
one’s friend.
The best way to make mind a good friend is to forget. Forget
the body. Forget the surrounding environment. Forget the family and relatives.
Forget the worries. Forget the happiness. Forget everything except absolute the
Truth, God or Brahmn. Forgetting is not easy therefore mind should be engaged
all the time in God’s name or mantra. Remembering God will help to forget about
the pleasures and pains of this materialistic world. On forgetting this world,
one attains Supreme Bliss.

Well written, Chandrika. It's our mind what we are, thus we should learn and practice our mind to act for good cause. If we keep all fantasies away from our basic needs, everything will be alright.
