Control is the most stupid word in the English dictionary and yet millions of people use it everyday and literally suffer. Right from our childhood we have been told to control our urges,our temptations,our desires and maybe even our dreams. Today i am going to reveal an alternate word which has been a secret weapon of all the great men and women who walked on this earth.

Smoking,Drinking, Casual Sex,Gambling,Chewing Tobacco, ....are common urges which many of us have developed over our life time. At some point of our life we want to get rid of them. But it just does not go away. We try to control them and they come back with more force and velocity and puts us down. We are never able to get rid of all those so- called bad habits. The more we try, the more we fail and we end up getting frustrated....

I took up this matter with my spiritual master. " You have to be very careful with the choice of your words, Vish. There is a sleeping demon within each of us.The moment you use the word control that demon wakes up and it tears you apart. No matter what you do it will not let you control your urges... So here is what i do. Whenever these temptations cross my mind i use the magical word Manage instead of Control.

Let me give you an example.... Lets say you had developed a sexual urge and it is getting too much everyday and you were not able to get out of it. You try to control it everyday but you fail miserably. The reason you fail is because you are trying too hard and you want to suppress the desire. Everytime you use the word control the demon within you wakes up and hits you on your head and says " Come on my boy have sex it is fun dont ever try to control me." You are overpowered by a superior personality within you over which you have no control. Try this experiment next time that you have a sexual urge. Tell yourself or your mind " Yes i have a strong urge to have sex right now and i accept it. I am not going to deny it but i am going to postpone it for tommorow..." Say this and watch what happens. ...

When you use these words instead of the words you have using so far you learn to manage sexual desires instead of controlling them. The sleeping demon within you does not wake up when you use the words postpone. The demon is happy so long as you don't control it . By postponing it for a day you win the first round. You trick the demon within you. You allow it to sleep while you work on building your character. There is no one in this world who has mastered the fine art of controlling these urges. All the great men and women have learnt to manage these desires and not control them. When you practise this with genuine intention everyday you draw upon a power which slowly and silently kills the demon within you. The ability to postpone temptations is a sure sign of victory over them. These words weave magic for they are powerful.

Never try to control anything it does not work in the long run. Learn to manage instead of control. Apply this technique to any temptation you want to overcome and they will work like a charm. These are century old, scientific proven techniques which will reap in significant benefits if you believe in it and practise it daily.

Awaken the sleeping gaint within and silenty crush your demons today.
