Answer:
An idles mind is the workshop of devil-Remember the popular proverb we learnt when we were in school. My father had a strange habit of quoting proverbs to me when I was in school. Little did I understand why he kept saying proverbs to me … I misinterpreted it thinking maybe he just likes saying proverbs! But at this juncture, I realize … the things he used to tell me often crosses my mind … it had so much inner meaning!
In the current scenario when there is a complete lockdown, most of the things aren’t working normally. It’s very important that we don’t keep an idle mind … we may say that there isn’t much to do … It’s actually been quite the opposite for me since these unexpected off days have started … I have been reading a lot of positive things rather than indulging myself in the situation by repeatedly viewing news, videos and posts on social media. Although, it’s important to be aware of what’s happening in the world but not to a point of overindulgence leading us to read false news, negative remarks and criticisms!
Usually when we are in the grip of negativity a lot of us forget to be compassionate, which is an absolute essential character we should have … and can’t be missed especially during such times. I have been practising, truthfulness, compassion and forbearance …the basic principles of Falun Dafa, an ancient Cultivation practice for the mind and body. This break has really helped me do the five sets of exercises and meditation regularly … I have managed to increase the duration of the practice and it has really helped my mind to be in a state of calm and peace. Also, this practice helps boost immunity, so naturally, I feel quite energetic and active even if I am always at home. Along with it reading the profound teachings of Mr Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafain the book Zhuan Falun has essentially been a strong guiding factor for me at all times. Since I was visiting my Mother when the lockdown happened, I have been able to teach her the exercises, which has also been beneficial for her.
