Every little pain and discomfort often continues through the power of suggestion. As soon as one feels discomfort or pain the mind repeats, "I have a pain. I am uncomfortable," and this suggestion adds to that pain, like fuel to the fire. Very often a person becomes tired before he has done any work because a previous experience of tiredness suggested it to him. There are many cases of people who are tired because of an impression in their mind which gives them the suggestion that they are tired. It is the same with weakness. Once a person is impressed with his weakness, his feebleness of body, this impression continues to act on brim; it comes as an inner suggestion. And if some good friend tries to help him by saying, "You seem to be very low today," then this only aggravates it.
