Frustration, an opportunity for self inquiry!
There must not be a single person in the world, who never got frustrated in life. The frustration might be for a few minutes, hours, days or years; it is common with all. This common disease in all has different kind of germs in each single case, causing frustration. In each case the reasons are different. This disease of frustration attacks number of time in the life of every individual and surprisingly, in each attack every time the reasons are different. The six billion people on this earth have sixty billion reasons for the frustration. Each reason is very important. Each reason makes one frustrated and the person is deprived of joy, smile and enthusiastic living. The bad effects of frustration depend upon the nature of the person and his capacity to bear pains. According to the strength of mind the frustration causes crying, inactiveness, depression, madness, thoughts of suicide and actual suicide.
The mind is the invisible main organ of a person. All other ten organs emerge from mind. Five are the sense organs and five are the acting organs. Eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin are said to be sense organs (jnanendriya) and hands, legs, mouth, anus and genital organ are called acting organs (Karmendriya). When mind stop working the ten organs are automatically paralyzed. In fact, the ten organs are vanished for a person whose mind does not work. When the mind is in worries the ten organs start malfunctioning. When we meditate, within few minutes our all the ten organs become defunct and shortly disappear. When our mind comes to sense, the organs again appear and start working. The frustration being a disease of mind it has impact on the body organs. Even the slightest frustration in mind for few moments leaves its bad effect on the body organs, like the flowers, leaves, branches etc. get affected if the root of the plant is disturbed. The sound mind is therefore guarantee of good health and sensitive mind the symbol of weak health.
Thinking is the property and duty of mind. It goes on thinking restlessly. This quality is found only in human being. The other living beings have a very little thinking power. Thinking is an action and it needs power. Like an Olympic runner needs good diet to gain the strength for running, thinking also needs some strength in body. Mind is created in body from the very subtle part of the food we eat. There is a story in ancient book that gives us knowledge about creation of mind.
A young boy approaches Rishi (enlightened omniscient saint) and politely asks that he wanted to become a disciple to learn knowledge of self realization. The Rishi welcomes him and asks about his whereabouts very kindly. After satisfied over the family background of the young boy, the Rishi asks him as to what has he learnt in the scriptures till the date? The young boy smartly recites the hundred verses from one of the scriptures he had learnt and made by heart. His pronunciation of words was very clear, and he maintained the rhythm that was required to keep while reciting that kind of poetry. The Rishi becomes very happy with the performance of the young boy. He asks the boy to come after one week. The Rishi also tells him to observe complete fast for seven days. Thinking happily that The Rishi will accept him, the boy agrees to come after one week and keep fasting. When he comes after one week without food he had some weakness in the body. The Rishi welcomes him and asks him to recite the same verses again. This time the boy makes some mistakes in pronunciations and also misses the rhythm due to the fatigue and empty stomach. The Rishi gets disappointed with his performance and asks the boy to come again after one week with the same condition that he would not eat any food items. When the boy comes to Rishi for the third time the Rishi finds him extremely weak and his face pale. The boy unable to walk properly bows down to the feet of Guru. The kind Guru looking at his condition which was too weak after fasting for two weeks, asks his to sit comfortably. When the Rishi asks him to recite the same verses again, the boy tries to do it. He anyhow starts chanting, but after few verses, he forgets the remaining portion. He starts weeping and asks for pardon to Guru. The kind Guru asks him to take some lime juice, and then calls for him some eatables. The boy takes lime juice and eats some light snacks. He takes some rest, and becomes ready to recite the verses.
The Rishi tells him, ?My boy, when you came for the first time you recited the verses well. Why you were not able to sing and recollect those verses again after fast? The reason is that you had not taken food and that made your mind weaker. The mind is created in the body like other organs by consumption of food. The best part (Satwa Guna) of the food is invisible and that causes the creation of invisible mind. The visible part creates the visible organs, and the waste is thrown out of body. The mind, intellect, heed and the consciousness is created and maintained by intake of food. If you eat simple and vegetarian food your mind becomes strong and always inclined to good things. If you eat stale or junk food and non- vegetarian diet you are bound to have lethargy, bad thoughts, revengefulness, frustration etc. This is first lesson. The pious food creates pious mind, and makes one easier to understand God. The food made out of rice, wheat, pulses, milk, butter, green vegetables etc. are very pious things that produce good thoughts .
