Mental Keys
We don't hand over
our bodies to just anyone, except for our loved ones and physicians during an
examination. However, at times, we do relinquish control of our minds to others
who manipulate us for their advantage. By "handing over our mind," we
allow ourselves to be swayed by others' criticism, anger, praise, and
manipulation.
Once we give control
of our minds to others, we hand them the keys to unlock it whenever
they wish, letting them store whatever thoughts they desire. It's interesting
to note that we never give our locker keys to just anyone; we keep them safe
and use them solely ourselves. Yet, paradoxically, we often provide mental keys
to others—those who praise us for their gain, leading us to live in vanity, or
those who criticize us, bringing us down.
We also give our
mental keys to people who manipulate our thoughts with their ideologies,
fostering negative feelings towards those who don’t conform to their beliefs.
Remember, the mind is a place where we can either be built up or torn down. Let
us maintain control over it and not become puppets in the hands of others.
M.L. Narendra Kumar
