Spiritual and Psychological Factors essential for a healthy mind:

Positive thinking:

         Acceptance and surrender is the key. Accepting the undesirable circumstances and believing that things happen for a reason. Trying to comprehend the wisdom behind negative events and extracting the message of inner development bring our mind to a state of equilibrium. A balanced state of mind is a state that is fully functional and optimally healthy.

-Joel Osteen in his book, "your Best Life Now” describes,

"It’s vital that you accept yourself and learn to be happy with who God made you to be. If you want to truly enjoy your life, you must be at peace with yourself.”

Moral living:  Living a conscious life, knowing that we are accountable to God for every word that we speak, every action that we perform and every thought that we perceive. By living a conscious life we continue to polish our heart’s mirror and learn to surrender and accept the divine will.

Living in the moment: Kernel of the kernel is to live “in the moment”. Living in the moment is the state of wholeness, the state of being “at one”; at one with the life, with the world, with the deepest self, with the divine. “Now” is the only point that can take us beyond past and present, and the only point of access into the timeless and formless realm of being.

“Living in the moment” is part of all major religion’s teachings. The essence of Zen teachings is to walk along the razor edge of “Now”

"In the now, in the absence of time, all our problems dissolve. Suffering needs time; it cannot survive in the Now".

 Rumi the great poet and the teacher declare;

“Past and present veil God from our sight; burn up both of them with fire.”

Meister Eckhart, the thirteenth-century spiritual teacher speaks about the obstacles we encounter to reach God.

 “Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time”.
