What do we do immediately after getting up in the morning? We start searching for our mobile phones, isn't it? because we want to check up messages by friends and various other notifications. But suddenly we realise that battery is draining out then next thing we do that is to start searching for charger and then we keep mobile for charging at least for 2-3 hours so that it can work effectively throughout the day.
Actually human body and mind is also like a mobile, it also needs charging everyday. If not done properly then it won't work efficiently for the day. We charge our body by taking care of it, feeding it, bathing it etc but usually, not usually but always we forget to take care of mind and ourself, soul. This is the reason for most of the problems in life. Any activity may that be regular job, study or any activity sucks the bodily energy as well as mental energy. We replenish bodily energy with food but what about mind and soul??
Mind is already tired with yesterday's work and now we drag him today for new work and expect the same efficiency but this ultimately leads to tension, depression and other mental problems because mind is not fed properly. We generally think movies, songs, dramas etc will entertain the mind thus energise it but this is like feeding fast food to body which only creates further complications. Mind needs something substantial for its nourishment. Many times it happens that even though you are not using mobile phone battery keeps on draining, why? Because many unnoticeable apps are running at the background, similarly we may not be doing any work but mind's energy is draining constantly because many worries, many thoughts which are like unnoticed app are running in background. How to stop them? How to delete these apps?
There is only one way to substantially replenish the drained out mind and that is meditation. For most of the people meditation is like boring task but it's a need of mind without it don't expect mind to function properly over the period. If the battery is spoiled we can buy a new one but what if mind gets wild or spoiled? We can't change it, thus we need to take nice care of mind too! Simple way of meditation is to chant everyday for 1-2 hours which refreshes and soothes the mind and energises the soul for rest of the day.
