In the previous article we discussed
what was subconscious mind and about the power within us. In this article, I
will share an example to showcase the power of subconscious mind and will
explain the outstanding differences and modes of operation between the two
minds.
Once Lata Mangeshkar, the nightingale
of India, was struck with stage fright. Her vocal words felt paralyzed,
useless. She stood back stage, already in costume, while perspiration poured
down her face. In a few moments she was supposed to go out on the stage and
sing, before thousands of audience. “I can’t sing. They will laugh at me. My
career is finished”, she said. She turned to go back to her dressing room.
Then, suddenly, she stopped and shouted, “The Little Me is trying to strangle
the Big Me within!”
She turned to go back to stage again
and stood taller. “Get out of here,” she commanded, addressing the Little Me.
“The Big Me wants to sing through me.” She began to shout, “Get out, get out,
the Big Me is going to sing!” By the Big Me, Lataji meant the limitless power
and wisdom of her subconscious mind. Her subconscious mind responded by
releasing the vital forces within her. When her named was called, she walked
out on stage and sang gloriously.
The Difference:-
The conscious mind is like the
navigator or captain on the bridge of the ship. He sends orders to men and
women. They in turn follow his orders. The people do not know where they are
going: they just follow orders. They obey him because he is in charge. In the
same way, your conscious mind is the captain and the master of your ship, i.e.
your body, your environment, and all your affairs. Your subconscious mind just
takes orders you give it, based on what your conscious mind thinks and
believes. It does not question the orders.
You must remember that the conscious
and the subconscious are not two minds. They are just two spheres of activity
within one mind. Your conscious mind is the reasoning mind. It is that phase of
mind that chooses. On the other hand your subconscious mind accepts what is
impressed upon it or what you consciously believe. It does not reason things
out as your conscious mind does, and nor does argue. Your subconscious mind is
like a bed of soil that accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. Your thoughts
are active: they are the seeds. The most important point to remember is this:
Once your subconscious mind accepts and idea, it begins to execute it.
