Question 18

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Everyone constantly faces challenges at home with their spouse, children, and other family members, at work with our peers and bosses. Sometimes life itself becomes a challenge because it throws up so many relationship-based and situational challenges. But the biggest challenge of them all is one’s mind. Often, it is possible to control everything else but one’s mind. Being a master of the mind is no less than mastery of the world. The Bhagwad Gita says, ‘Our mind is our best friend and our worst enemy'. If we know how to manage our minds, we can manage our time, our relationships, our life, everything.

This is where spirituality comes in. It is the path to a mentally decluttered, value-based life. Spirituality teaches us how to control our thoughts, emotions, and desires. It is actually the science of managing one’s mind. Once we start to have control over our actions we may also find the law of attraction coming into play. Inexplicable events occur and we find things falling in place for us. They seem to be a coincidence, but that’s the law of attractions working for you. You attract what you think. When you think positive, you get positive results.
