Thought
It is clear
as daylight that thoughts and emotions are the two most important influences
upon man’s life. He who wants to walk on the path of progress should understand
the grate power of thought. Whenever a thought associated with fear and doubt
leads to an action it produces generally a negative result. Whenever a thought,
associated with self confidence and optimism leads to an action, it has generally
a constructive result.
Regarding the
power of mind, there is an incontrovertible law; Like attracts, like begets
like, like becomes like: In other words, when we think of good thoughts, they
lead us to good people and good things in life. When we think evil thoughts
they lead us to evil people and evil things in life. This truth, reaffirmed by
modern experimental research, was stated by Gautama Buddha about two thousand
and five hundred years ago. According to the Buddha, what we are today, is the
fruit of our thoughts.,
Thoughts are
the basis for our present condition. If a man speaks having good thoughts in
his mind and acts accordingly happiness follows him as shadow follows man. If another
man goes on thinking evil thoughts and acts accordingly, grief pursues him,
just as wheels follow the legs of the horses drawings a carriage.
We may have indulges
so far in innumerable weakening and humiliating thoughts. Should we proceed on
the path of progress we should, right from now on, imbibe good thoughts and
ennoble our life. Once a thought arises in the mind again. If one repeats a
thought many times, it becomes an integral part of the mind. The powerful
thought in our mind exerts its influence not only on yourself but also on those
around you.
So
is it not desirable that you stop and think what kind of
thoughts you welcome into your mind and what kind of thoughts you drive away? You
should be particularly alert about what sort of thoughts rules your mind before
you go to bed and make a conscious effort to wipe out evil thoughts through a
careful analysis and self-criticism. When you wake up, you should make up your
mind not to entertain vicious thought and start the day positively. Victor
Hugo, the famous writer said. “Before going to sleep, have good expectations,
love and forgiveness’ as your pillow. Then you will wake up in the morning with
overwhelming joy and cheerfulness” courtesy wisdom
Quote
from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
They have
also the theory of reincarnation which says that after the dissolution of this body,
the Jiva will have another, and after that has been dissolved , it will again
have another, and so on, either here or in some other worlds; but this world is
given the preference, as it is considered the best of all worlds for our
purpose. Other worlds are conceived of as worlds where thee is very little
misery, but for that very reason, they argue, there is less chance of thinking
of higher thins there. As this world contains some happiness and a good deal of
misery, the Jiva some time or other gets awakened as it were, and thinks of
freeing itself. but just as very rich person in this world have the least
chance of thinking of higher things, so the Jiva in heaven has little chance of
progress, for its condition is the same as that of rich man, only more
intensified; it has a very fine body which knows no dieses; and
is under no
necessity of eating or drinking , and all its desires are fulfilled the Jiva
lives there, having enjoyment after enjoyment, and so forgets all about its
real nature. Still the are some higher worlds, where in spite of all enjoyments
its further evolution is possible. Some dualists conceive of the goal as the highest
heaven, where souls will live with God for ever. They will have beautiful
bodies and will know neither diseases nor death, nor any other evil, and all
their desires will be fulfilled. From time to time some of them will come back
to this earth and take another body to teach human beings the way to God; and
the great teachers of the world have been such . They were already free, and
were living with God in the highest sphere; but their love and sympathy for
suffering humanity was so great that they came and incarnated again to teach
mankind the way to heaven.
Of course we
know that the Advaita holds that the cannot be the goal or the ideal;
bodilesseness must be the ideal or the ideal; bodlilessness must be the ideal. The
ideal cannot be finite. Anything short of the Infinite cannot be the ideal, and
there cannot be an infinite body. That would be impossible , as body comes from
limitation. There cannot be infinite thought, because thought comes from
limitation. We have to go beyond the body and beyond thought too, says the
Advaita, and we have also seen that according to Advaita this freedom is not to
be attained, it is already ours. We only forget it and deny it. Perfection is
not to be attained, it is already within us, Immortality and bliss are not to
be acquired, we possess them already; they have been our all times. Courtesy
Practical Vedanta
But,
if He exists?
I drive joy There was a
doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation
on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they
argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been
misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I
agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But if He exists? I am afraid you
are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a
lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
