Mind is the cause for both destruction and uplift of humanity.

[Guest guest]

The mind is mightier than the forces of nature. The mind is capable of inflicting the worst pain in human beings. The fury of natural forces subside after few days. But the sufferings caused by the mind do not subside so easily. Swami terms the mind as a 'mad monkey'. i will add one more adjective. It is intoxicated. Who causes the wars between countries. It is the mind. But for the mind, there won't be any war or tragedy. Mind is the chief cause for all the atrocities which we watch around the globe. The body is inert and is incapable of any thoughts which provoke hatred. It is the mind which is the cause for attachment(moha). But the same mind can be utilised for the betterment of humanity.When the mind is under the command of Buddhi(intellect), it can uplift humanity. All noble activities are also carried out, taming the mind towards higher ideals.Hence use the mind for the betterment of humanity rather than destruction. Sairam.
