make the mind strong

"Make the mind strong. The body changes according to the mind and its emotions. That's why we say, 'As you think, so you become.' Whatever the mind thinks, the body translates. Here's an ordinary example: If your mind is happy, your face shows it with a smile; if your mind is unhappy your face shows that also with your frown. People don't see your mind directly, but they see it through your body. So every thought in the mind is expressed through the body. When the body undergoes certain difficult situations, if the mind has complete faith, that will help the body to get relief, or even to get cured. Sickness may come to the body. But, keeping the mind under control is in your hands. The body may fall sick. But you should not allow the mind to get sick.God bless you. Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi."
