POWER OF THOUGHTS CHAPTER 2
Mind is the link between ‘sense world’ and the ‘soul realm’.
Mind operates through thought, which is a subtle, vital, living, force; capable of acquiring infinite power.
Thought is a
subtle wave or vibration emanating from the mind are called ‘thoughts’. There are infinite types of vibrations of love, hatred, envy, jealousy, anger, sensuality, etc., in the cosmos. Depending on the ‘principle of like attracts like’, we attract certain types of vibrations from the cosmos according to our ‘instinct’ of previous and present life. Consequently, these vibrations are
potentised by frequent repetition. In this way, we in turn
generate and transmit these vibrations in the cosmos.
Everything there is in the universe in the material from (seen) had its origin first in thought (unseen). What we speak is a mere expression of thought. Poetry, a great writing, a fine piece of art, or a science and engineering marvel are all the results of thought.
Thought is, in fact, the
primal force of the genesis at the back of all creation. The present universe is the cumulative result of our collective thoughts and feelings. The universe, in reality, is the
projection of our mind, which in itself is the
store-house or computer of our acquired impression, which is expressing themselves in impulses and thoughts.
Every thought has a mental image, hue, from, dimension, etc. It is the:
Genesis of past thoughts and actions,
Vehicle of the present life and
Seed of future propensity,
affecting life individually and collectively, and transforming the physical and mental world continuously and imperceptibly.
Thoughts travel far and wide in all directions at a lightning speed, carrying subtle notes, which are registered in the cosmic records. Powerful thought-vibrations travel at a tremendous velocity and are received through mental antennas of those who are receptive
to such vibrations in the same frequency.
Thoughts when focussed and directed become
dynamic forces and produce deep impressions. You can well imagine the ‘intensity of sun-rays’ when they are concentrated through a magnifying glass (double-convex lens) on to piece of paper.
Every one is living in one’s own world of thoughts, continuously absorbing or repelling the vibrations of other thoughts recorded it the
ether, according to the particular wave-length and
frequency.
Every thought is a link in the endless chain of
cause and effects to produce:
Desire - stimulating drive;
Thought - manifesting in action, and
Activity - weaving the web of character, fate and destiny.
Pure thoughts are Devine forces which pervade human existence right from the birth. They radiate joy, hope, solace and peace to the entire humanity.
Persistent thoughts of egoistic desire, selfishness, and covetousness breed, develop and nourish anger, hatred, jealousy, revenge and the like, which give rise to malicious tendencies leading to heinous actions. In the other hand, noble thoughts of love, compassion, kindness, etc. produce noble men and saints.
Power of thoughts lies latent in us, and can be developed to
make or mar our own life and destiny. We are continuously attracting to ourselves forces and condition most akin to those of our own thoughts. Our particular
thought within connects us with a similar thought from
without. It is, therefore, important for us to recognise as to how we live in our
thought-world.
Our thoughts instantly reflect on our face and features. They chasten, chisel and fashion our countenance, which is an index of our inner character. The facial expressions expose the true state and substance of our mind; however we may try to hide it.
Our face and eyes are:
sensitive registering apparatus,
faithful reflectors,
clear mirrors, and
true expressions
of our inner feelings.
Every thought produces a strong vibration in every cell of our boy, and leaves a deep impression on our sub-conscious mind. Impression from the depth of the subconscious mind come up in the form of thought-vibrations or mental images, and direct our actions accordingly. Therefore,
we are the makers of our own habits, circumstances, character and fate. These thought-vibrations are transmuted to every fibre and nerve of our physical body, and
cause electrical, chemical and biological changes, affecting our physical and mental condition.
Every good and sublime thought conjures a noble spirit and initiates good action, contributing to our health and happiness. This also has an invigorating effect in improving our physical ad mental condition, even during moments of depression and exhaustion.
On the contrary, every depressing and negative thought has an adverse effect on every call of our body, causing physical and mental exhaustion. Most of the present-day diseases such as hypertension, joint-pains, stomach ulcer, insomnia, spondylosis, chronic indigestion, heart-ailments and many other diseases, have their origin psyche, i.e.,
habitual negative thinking, which cause substantial abnormality in different body-tissues. It, therefore, accrues that a
mere mode of thinking can create
heaven or hell for life.
It implies, therefore, that thoughts having tremendous force can:
Execute desires and passions,
Fashion our countenance,
Develop our character,
Work out circumstances,
Influence and transform our behaviour,
Shape our destiny, and
Contribute towards shaping the universe.
The force of thought, thus, works:
systematically,
subtly,
imperceptibly,
consistently, and
dynamically.
We have a
free will to choose between:
virtue and vice,
friends and foes,
good and bad,
happiness and sorrow,
health and disease, and
heaven and hell.
All these conditions are the
outcome of our own thoughts and deeds, and are
subject to our discretion.
We have the free choice of thought, feelings and actions. So,
it is up to us alone to discriminate, decide and work for a better and more sublime life. Our thoughts make us what we are here and hereafter.
Happiness or misery is, therefore, the
result of our own thoughts and actions.
Poverty, misery or misfortune, may, in fact, prove a blessing in disguise, as through
higher and constructive thoughts, one may develop humility, endurance, faith, etc. conversely, affluence and luxury may breed inertia passion, arrogance, faithlessness and resultant vices.
The present state of our lives had been shaped by our own thoughts, and if we desire to change it for the better, we have to discriminate wisely and
choose the higher and more sublime course of thoughts.
In the world of today, most people believe in epicurean philosophy, i.e., ‘eat, drink and be merry’. This is a devilish idea and leads to sorrow and miseries. We should ‘eat-to-live’ and not ‘live-to-eat’.
