MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL DEFENCE AGAINST GLOBAL COVID-19

To face the Covid – 19 spread, we have taken to social distancing and lockdown measures. Definitely we need to observe these steadfastly, but we can also enhance our defenses considerably by striving for inner redress ie: going into our inner body and consciousness.

The mind is far superior to the body. Therefore, the inner defense is far more powerful than the external one. All civilizational achievements are, no doubt, the glory of the mind and intelligence. Hence, it is imperative to harness our mind and intelligence and encircle the Covid virus spread, making it powerless. It will not be discreet to set aside this inner means, thinking that it is not perceptible.

How is the inner defense harnessed?

Our fear is that the gross body will be attacked by the subtle virus. The mind is only the conditioned consciousness along with the intellect and ego. But the subtler mind within the body has ample power to encircle these viruses and render them powerless. It has the power to merge in the space of unconditioned pure consciousness and be totally fearless. The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2 verse 24) describes the inner consciousness and the ‘I’, the inmost Self, as unbreakable and insoluble and can neither be burnt nor dried. The Supreme Consciousness is everlasting. All-pervading. Unchangeable, Immovable and Eternal. We need to realize the importance of this message well and thus one can be free of fear and thus make the COVID virus ineffective to the core.

Infection is in the body, not in the mind at all. Acknowledging this truth that your mind is free of infection, harness ‘It’ and earnestly strive for the inner defense. Even if one in a thousand tries, the present crisis will be extinct. At least for half-hour daily, sit in a place, close your eyes, and reflect upon the more pervading space in you. Your innermost consciousness. The invincible Self-presence, denoted by the term ‘I’ or Supreme Consciousness, is still and inward. In our inmost!

Meditation and being in touch with your Consciousness is important.

Your whole world lies in the expanse of your consciousness. Awareness and being in touch with your consciousness is of prime importance. That is why Meditation and purifying your mind is so essential. Is not the whole visible creation floating in this inner Self-expanse like the dream world? Yes, the entire physical world is held within your Consciousness’. Know that the Covid -19 virus colonies are also within your mind’s inner perception’s range already.
By merging the mind and intelligence into the expanse of the Self, the Coronavirus in millions will be devolved and extinct. This is the glory of consciousness or ‘chidaakasha’ where all the gross and subtle activities take place. It is the sentient sky within. Humans alone can be aware of this and employ it effectively.

Therefore, use this occasion to enhance your faith and confidence. Understand that you are connected to the Sovereign Supreme Consciousness. The earth is also connected to that infinite space, and hence to the Supreme Sustainer and Consciousness!
Your power of awareness and consciousness connects you to each and every soul. The light within you has the majesty and grandeur to contain and extinguish the Covid-19 blaze. Increase the power of your Consciousness and be assured. No devastation will befall. Feel safe and be calm.

The moment there is Acceptance and Surrender there will be Freedom from Fear. God’s ways are mysterious.
