Some examples of mind over matter:
Guru Govind Singh the 10th guru
or spiritual teacher of the Sikhs, was seven feet tall and possessed
extraordinary physical and mental prowess. This height and build was actually
his spiritual strength. Guru Govind Singh was so physically strong that once he
shot an arrow from near a spot near the present day red fort area in New Delhi,
India. The arrow flew several kilometers till it fell near an area called RK
Puram in New Delhi. So much so that, a Gurudwara was built at that very spot
where the arrow fell.
Incidentally Guru Govind Singh left for his
heavenly abode at the age of 40 after transforming the hitherto Sikhs from a
peaceful and saintly people into a brave, courageous, ferocious and militant
community.
A monk called Sohom swami became so
extraordinarily strong and powerful that he could fight with wild tigers and
was nicknamed tiger swami. He got all this prowess by concentrating mentally on
health and strength.
Bheema Sena had to undergo several
depravities as a Pandava prince in the Mahabharatha. But thanks to his
spiritual strength he and his brothers could defeat the mighty Kauravas. *******************
