________________ several men before and all of them used to scream while being treated, but he had never seen such a strong child. There was not even a trace of pain on the boy's face. He just kept smiling. This child grew up to become the renowned 'Iron Man' Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Iron is iron from the time it is extracted from the mine, isn't it? Similarly, an iron man is also an iron man since his birth !. When you have fever with body pain or you fall down or bang against something and hurt yourself or suffer from internal pain, you must recall such illustrations. Your tolerance level which may have completely gone down, can be pumped up, by using these inspiring illustrations that can help you cultivate a technique to see' your pain and not feel it. The body suffers the pain. An observer does not suffer pain. A person who suffers pain, can never be free from misery. 4. When in pain, if you divert your attention elsewhere, the intensity of pain reduces : If the road ahead is not smooth, then the car has to take a diversion. When the pain is unbearable, there is a great chance of you losing your composure. At such a time, if the mind is diverted, the feeling of pain will not be so severe. When a small child falls down while walking, he will start crying loudly if he sees that someone has noticed him falling. But if he realises that nobody is paying attention, he will quietly stand up and start walking again. Our pain is also like this small child. If you continuously focus on the pain, it's intensity will increase. If you ignore it, it will remain quiet. If a guest is given a very warm welcome, he will prolong his stay. If the guest feels that he is ignored, he will wrap up his trip and go away quickly. MIND YOUR mind : 54
