The Mind of Man

Where there is no Prayer or thought of God the Devil can enter. This is true for own homes and the environments that we spend time in, but Is it not the same or bodies and our mind, when we pray and think of God in the numerous ways  available for us from our Heart then the Devil cannot enter us.

However when our mind and body becomes more about the senses, more about pleasure for it and we forget The Lord then how easy is it for us to be led astray. The mind is like a dog that loves to be taken on walks to the most pleasurable places for it to enjoy itself. The first puppy training it got was for the world, it was taught by society that that the outside world is the place for it to play and run, it was shown that to do its business this was the park and it could run wild.

Now we have to retrain a big dog and show Him the playing park, show Him the new world, the world of Prayer and the Divine. It is not easy as the world of the puppy is so enticing and enthralling that it can easily undo any of the training done in an instant. We have to be so careful where we take the big dog for a walk for His own good to help Him stay focused and on the path of the Divine.

When the mind of man is focused on the pleasures of the senses then the senses are controlling it and it in turn leads the rest of the body down the path. The soul from inside of us is screaming at us to go within and focus on it. Go within and focus on the Divine instead. But it is hard to reign in the mind when it begins a journey with senses and even harder when it gets the body involved. To change its direction once it starts running one needs strength and a complete 100% commitment to want to change its direction or else you will be gone.
