Keep your mind free ?

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

When our mind is not free, it is not properly functioning and people who rekain under mental pressure are not normal and if they act, the people facing them could call them as mental people. We should try to keep our mind free from all pressures and for that purpose, we should have our own points. We are in a position to know the points which create pressure on our mind and brain and none other could tell us. When we know that such and such things create burdon on our mind, it is our duty to avoid those points.

Mostly we are under mental pressure when we leave some work half-done or keep some work pending. It is better to complete the work in time and atleast it should befinished before leave our work place. Some time it becomes physically impossible to complete the work on the same day and that work, we know shall be finished tomarrow or day after tomarrow. We can spread our work on one day, on two days, on three days orthe like, but whatever time limits have been fixed for completing that work, we should complete that work within the prescribed period and it should not be delayed. We should utilise full energy and our wisdom in completing that work so that the man supervising that work must besatisfied that we had done our duty in a good manner and to his satisfaction. We must note that when we receive appreciations, we are encouraged and feel pleasure and when there are objections from the other side, we are frustrated and thererfore, our boss or customers must be satisfied with our work.

A man must know what are the points which condemn him to inferiority complex and what are the points which give him booster in life and therefore, he must avoid the points which condemn to inferiority complex. We should be punctual and see the other people who have fixed time for us are not left waiting for us. We should earn reasonable amount so that we could be able to run family administration and at the same time we should remain within our limits and should not try to cross our budget. We should avoid taking loans which are beyond our income and we shall not be able to return the same within the promised time. We should try to give to our children proper education and proper training so that they should be at work and are not left roaming unemployed. You should keep discipline in the family so that there are fewer number of complaints from outside. You should create more and more friendship and must avoid enemity because even one enemy shall not allow you live a happy life. You should attain efficiency and proficiency in the work which you have adopted as a way of life and must see that everyone dealing with you is satisfied. You should see that you are keeping a good health because an ill man would not be able to live a happy and free life.

You should not remain idle and if you get time, it shall be better if you utilise the time in reading books, in looking and hearing a TV set, a radio or you are reading a book, a news paper or a magazine. You should try to get more and more knowledge and must see that others are not calling you an illinformed person. Your information must be uptodate. And since we are social animals, we must have good relations with all and expect love and affection from all and such things are possible only if we ourselves are having love, affection and respect for all coming to us. 'Love begets love' should be always in our mind.

These are some minimums which should be kept in mind and if we follow our own principles, we shall see that our mind is free for taking up some serios jobs and solving those problems. These minor things should not be allowed to create pressure on our mind.
