Thought –The Architect
It is as clear as day light that
thoughts and emotions are the two most important influences upon man’s life. He
who wants to walk on the path of progress must understand the great power of thought.
Whenever a thought associated with fear and doubt leads to an action, it produces
generally a negative result. “when thought is too weak to be simply expressed,
it is clear proof that it should be rejected” is oft-quoted line. This line
applies to situations in your life when you easily jump to conclusions and make
assumptions and make assumptions about what someone else is saying Jumping to
conclusions, without any second thought is often wrong and misleading. your
poor judgement of the situation will , on the other hand, can cause you to
waste lot of energy . so you should think a good deal before coming to any
conclusion. This will help you to heave an open mind which is necessary for
making a judgement.
The great English scholar and
writer , William Hazil has said “Great thoughts reduced to practice become
great acts” His words clearly imply that it is only great thoughts which are
worth getting translated into acts, if you constantly practice them.
Regarding the power of mind,
there is an incontrovertible law; “Like attracts like , like begets like, like
becomes like” In other words, when we think good thoughts ,they lead us to good
people , and good things in life. Others present around us can easily notice
our positive approach towards others.
An open mind is sure to lead you
to a fruitful conclusion. By being thoughtful , you are able to respond to
others in most appreciable way, and soon people like to hear you . so whatever
you observe and learn , should be accompanied by thought , bemuse, “learning without
thought is labour lost”, as Confucius said With heightened awareness of what
other people want to communicate, you are better equipped to answer
appropriately and make a powerful impression. courtesy wisdom
Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
In the beginning the Self, the
one alone, was all this (universe) There was nothing else besides . He, the all knowing, looked around and
thought within Himself, “ I will create the worlds “ and created these worlds’
The plainly shows that the Absolute One willingly courted Nescience, and that
this Nescience was within Him in a latent sate, and that it depends upon the
will of the Brahman to put Her down or bring Her up. In the Puranas we find
that this nescience is represented as the loving consort of the creative
Brhaman or Purusha, and She is the principal instrument in the act of creation.
There the Brahman is o longer neuter but assumes male form, and is called Brahma,
Vishnu and Siva , while Nescience –maya-becomes the female partner of these three
and is called sarasvati, Laxmi, and Uma respectively. Even in the
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad we find the passage; ‘He divided Himself into two parts
and they became husband and wife; So we see it stated that the Purusha
obviously finds a certain sort of pleasure in conditioning Himself by courting
Nescience or Prakriti, as a man , otherwise free , finds pleasure in conditioning
himself by marriage, but still the question arises. Who will forsake
omniscience to court ignorance, who will willingly deprive himself of the
highest state of bliss to be drifted in the stormy sea of variegated
circumstances? The All knowing sometimes plays with ignorance (maya) and
sometimes like to remain calm and peaceful as Vyasa and others have found .
If we are really the absolute and
eternal God, why are we not able to shake off at once the unbearable trouble
and tortures of life, break down the barrier of Nescience, and realise our own
true blissful nature? To answer this , i have simply to remind you that however
miserable we may be, few of us are willing to forsake this life and part for
ever from those who are near and dear to us. Curtsey The universe and man, The

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.
