Far-reaching consequences of evil thought

Image
When we indulge in evil thoughts that will not only harm us but also will cast their evil influence on others and their influence can travel very far indeed. For Example: if a father gets angry at the slightest mistake of his son, the words eminating from that mood of anger will not be confined between the father and his son. Nut they will go forward in other direction. They will get mixed up with the angry thoughts of the others and adds to their intensity. Going round and round, these thought may enter a head of a person living in a far - off country who is having an argument with his wife. Acting under this redoubled burst of anger, he thrashes his wife mercilessly. Later when his anger subsides, he deplores his actions and says to himself, "Why did I beat my wife so severely for such a trivial offense? It is a small error on her part, perhaps she is bit behind time. These are minor offences and yet why did i beat her so much?" An so on and so forth. When he was angry,

Road to Health

It is the thought that makes us health or ill. The  method outlined above to get rich or to overcome poverty also applies to remain healthy or to conquer disease. This also may be vied as the way to eliminate disease because in this world almost all men suffer from disease of one kind or the other in the curse of their lives. Some of the maladies with which we are afflicted are cured with simple treatment and some of are self-limiting. We ourselves are patients and physicians because it is the wish of god to keep us healthy and happy. Our own error gives birth to disease. Our first task is therefore to correct our mistakes. If we wish to remain healthy we must think healthy. when children fall ill, their mothers can think of nothing else except the disease their children are suffering from. The fear that hunts them around a clock is the fear of their death. I have seen with my own eyes the more a mother tries to keep her children alive, the quicker the child dies. The curse of de

Road to riches

Opinion on this subject is divided. There are some who  point out that there is a contradiction praying for money and in stating that to be rich or poor is a matter of fate. That is why although we wish to acquire wealth we do not give much thought to the ways and means of making money. On the contrary, we are most of the time haunted by the fear of poverty. In other words, we are possessed by questions like what will happen to us if our service is terminated, if we lose our money or if we incur losses in our business ventures. Anxieties like these will make us think more about poverty, and ill-luck. As a result, the will to make money gets trodden under. The law of nature is that nobody can get rich while meditating on destitution. but the strange thing is that we sink ourselves in thoughts of poverty while we wish to earn money. For example when we see one of our neighbors incur a great monetary loss., the thought that naturally comes to our mind is what will happen to us if we me

Conquest of evil thought

Although to think good is a simple task, we tend to avoid it. The reason for it is quite simple: we have fallen into a habit of thinking evil instead of thinking good. If an orchard is covered with weeds, good fruit-bearing plants do not get any chance to flourish. But if the cultivator is wide-awake and smart enough, he will dig out all those weeds and throw them away. Because the orchard of our mind is covered with evil thoughts, good thoughts are unable to find room for growth. Under the circumstances, our task is to get rid of the rank growth of weeds so that good thoughts may get a chance to strike root and grow luxuriantly. the roots of big trees lie deep, whereas weeds have superficial roots. We may liken evil thoughts to weeds and good thoughts to fruit-bearing trees. As Lord Krishna has said in "The Gita", "Sin is like a piece of dry wood and knowledge is like fire". Wood maybe huge in quantity and the flame may be small in size. But the flame has th

MAN IS MORTAL BUT HIS THOUGHTS ARE IMMORTAL

Thoughts are not destroyed even though man is born to die. That is why when a man is born again after death, he lives a happily or miserable life depending on a good or bad thoughts cultivated by him in his previous life. Suppose some thought comes to your mind again and again which for some practical reason they could not be immediately put in to action, such thoughts takes birth again when you are free from preoccupations and make you act as its will. Sometime you are compelled to do something which you do not wish to do in your heart of hearts. Let us take the example of the person who keeps on harboring the thoughts of stealing for days together but is not getting the right opportunity. Let us further suppose that he later finds himself in a company of good men and regrets that misdeeds of his earlier days. And under the changed circumstances he promises never to steal again in this context it may be remembered that his tendency to steal is not completely dead. It lies in a dor

ROAD TO HAPPINESS

Do not let any thoughts enter in your mind except happy thoughts becasue the thought that always haunt your mind will shape your destiny. The things that you always concerntrate on will be attracted towards you. If the state of somebody is really wretched, it will be found that his thought his sole cause of his wretchedness. The thoughts emerging in your mind provide the basis for your future action. If you think of nothing else except misery and proverty, that will intensify you misery and proverty. Conversely, nobody can be happy unless he firmly holds in his mind the idea of happiness. The mind is like a field where some thoughts or other always keeps growing, causing us happiness or misery. If you think along this line, the quality of your life go up. If you are miserable or proverty-striken, nobody is to be blamed. Its root cause lies inside you. It is your duty to search and destroy it. Always keep a watch on your mind taking care that no gloomy or impure thoughts cast

Will-power - the way to remain healthy

The most essential element of the thought is concentration. When you fully concentrate on a theme, success will follow almost automatically. The thoughts arising in your mind will determine the course of your action. All your action depends on the nature of your thought. You can never escape from the consequences of your thought.  There is no such thing on earth, Which you can not achive with the help of peace and concerntration. Similarly there is nothing on Earth which can not be achieved, if you channel your enternal energy wisely and carefully. That is why if you always harbour best thoughts in your mind, they will soon appear in your external life in the form of most suitable conditions. Be affirmed of the fact that if your thought is pure, your internal energy and omniscience will manifest. You fall prey to gllomy and impure thoughts becasue the field of your knowledge is narrow.  There are some men who believe in destiny as the causative factor in thier lives and thin

Force of thought

God has given to man a miraculous thing called thought-force. Thousands of man has performed the most difficult task with its help. Thought, if it is firm, is capable of turning man into God. but, it must be based on truth. Since thoughts are so influential and meaningful, we must do all we can to make them firm and forceful. Thoughts arises one after another in succession. Some of them die a-boring. Only those thoughts which are firm will remain in existence until they attain success. It is quite possible that some thoughts that are firm may be unwholesome. when a man stoops to steal, his heinous action is also triggered by thought. Wrong doers and destroyers also will have firm thoughts, but such mental urges do not deserve the name of thought. Only thoughts that are not tainted with selfishness can well be described as truthful or the best ones. In fact, only such thoughts can remain firm which carry the aura of purity, truthfulness and sincerity in word, deed and thought. On

Life - the product of thought

When our thoughts flow outside, they do not merely flap their wings in vacuum. They play a decisive role in making our direction steady or flexible, in making us reach or poor, or in crowning our efforts with success or failure. If we know how to direct our thoughts through a proper channel, we can realize ourselves from all kinds of troubles and can lead a life full of bliss. The thoughts that emerge in our mind are like arrows. Depending on power an intensity you possess, these arrows can have an impact on the hearts of others, and they come back like a boomerang to cause you pain or pleasure. It follows, therefore, that it is in your interest to harbour beautiful thoughts in your mind because they manifest themselves very soon as the best form of your external circumstances. You must always strive to hold your inner vitality under your control. if you do so, you save your external  circumstances   to your heart's content. the difference between an aspirant and the other

What is thought?

While pondering about what thought is about, the following questions naturally occur: where does it come from? How does thought influence us? How potent is thought? What is the form of thought? What is its color? What are the ways to change the texture of thoughts? What are the benefits we gain from thought? In actual fact, every thought has its form and color, too. In the same way, thoughts have vitality of their own. ‘Thought-element’ in invisible and it cannot be seen with our external eyes. Thoughts originate from atoms, and they are so subtle that we cannot imagine. The smaller the particle, the more potent it becomes. So, thought being the tiniest particle is regarded to have possessed the greater force than those of electricity and others. Animate and subtle things possess greater than strength inanimate things. For example, clay is finer than stone; as such clay is stronger than stone. Comparatively speaking, clay is less inanimate than stone, as a result clay has
