Sadhana For Developing Will Power
Attention, power of endurance, overcoming aversion, dislikes and irritations, fortitude in suffering, Tapas ( austerities such as standing on one foot, sitting in hot sun ) or Panchagni Tapas before five fires, standing in cold water in winters, raising the hands and keeping in the same position for an hour, fasting, patience, command of temper, forbearance, clemency, mental power of resistance or attack, Satyagraha, keeping up daily diary----all pave a long way in developing the will. One should patiently hear the words of others even though they are not interesting and charming. He should not fret and fume. Patient hearing develops will and wins the heart of others. One should do actions or task that are interesting. This also develops the will-power. The action that are not interesting will become interesting after sometime.
Never complain against bad environments. Create your own mental world wherever you go. There are some difficulties and disadvantages wherever you go. If the mind deludes you, at every moment, try to overcome the obstacles and difficulties by suitable means. Do not try to run away from the bad, unfavorable environments. God has placed you there to make you grow quickly.
If you get all sorts of comforts in a place, you will not grow strong. Your mind will be puzzled in a new place when you cannot get these comforts. Therefore, make the best use of all places. Never complain against the surroundings and environments. Live in your own mental world. Nothing can upset your mind. You will find Raag- dvesha even in the eternal snowy regions of Himalayas, near Gangotri. You cannot get an ideal place in any part of the world. Kashmir is very cool, the scenery is enchanting but Pissus (small insects like fleas) trouble you at night: you cannot sleep. Varanasi is the center of Sanskrit learning but it is famous for hot winds in summer. This world is a relative plane of good and evil. Remember this point at all times. Try to live happily in any place, under any condition. You will become strong and dynamic and unlock the Elysian regions, the spiritual realms and the immortal abode. You can get sanguine success in any undertaking. You can conquer any difficulty.
The practice of concentration is of great help to strengthen the will. You must have an intelligent understanding of the habits of the mind; how it wanders and how it operates. You must know suitable means and effective methods to control the wandering mind. The practice of thought-culture, concentration, memory-culture, are all allied subjects. All these are of immense help in the practice of will-culture.
Mr.Gladstone and Mr.Balfour could go to sleep the moment they went to bed through mere willing. They had such a strong will. Even Mahatma Gandhi had this practice. They could get up in the morning at any time they wanted, to the very minute. The subconscious mind was their obedient servant. It would wake them up at the very second. Everyone of you should develop this habit through will and become a Gandhi, a Gladstone, a Balfour. Generally, the vast majority of persons simply roll in their beds for hours together and do not get sound sleep even for half an hour. It is the quality of sleep and not the quantity that gives refreshment. Sound sleep for even an hour is quite sufficient to refresh the body and revitalize the mind. The moment you go to bed, simply relax the mind, give the suggestion " I will have good sleep now." Do not think of anything. Napoleon had this habit. Even when the bugle was blowing and drums were beating on the battle-field, he would be snoring. His subconscious mind would awake him at the very second he wanted to get up. With a cool mind Napoleon would appear like a lion on the battle-field. One should train himself to sleep in running cars, trains and when moving in aero planes even in a sitting posture. This practice is of immense help for busy medical practitioners, advocates and businessmen, who have to do immense work daily and good deal of traveling. Life has become so very complex nowadays that busy people do not find time to get enough sleep. Whenever they find leisure, even for five minutes, they should close their eyes in any place and go to sleep for a short time. This would give great rest. This kind of practice is a blessing to busy people. Their nerves are under great tension and pressure. By relaxing them every now and then, they could refresh themselves and keep quite fit for further activities.
One should be able to sleep on the platforms of railway stations when trains are moving all times. This is a wonderful practice that gives you immense strength. Dr.Annie Besant used to write editorial columns, when moving in car. There are some busy doctors who read newspapers, even when they are in water closet. They keep their minds fully occupied. The practice of keeping the mind fully occupied is the best of all the practices for keeping up mental and physical Brahmacharya. Those who want to become magnetic and dynamic personalities should utilise every second to the best possible advantage and should try to grow mentally, morally and spiritually every second. Idle gossiping should be given up entirely. Every one of us should realize the value of time. The will is bound to become dynamic if one utilizes his time profitably.
Application and tenacity, interest and attention, patience and perseverance, faith and self-reliance, can make a man a wonderful-figure.
