My Mind +++++++ My mind runs about too much, I don't seem to be able to get it under control. What can I do? You are describing a situation, which every individual at some time or other, goes through. This is mainly because you are unnecessarily despairing at the direction in which your mind is running at some point. The mind like a child, must be allowed to play. Even if you are keeping a dog, there are moments when it must be let loose to run and jump and skip and pant; once exhausted, the dog obediently comes to lie down at your feet wagging its tail, expressing its total love and loyalty. Don't unnecessarily worry over the mind, running about now and then, perhaps against your own wishes. Ignore these little slips of the mind which are nothing but the results of the past habits. Learn to smile at the follies of the mind. A peaceful mind is a significant condition of happiness.
