Secret of right activity
When we study the teaching of the Vedas we find that it
insists upon one thing-being and becoming. Man must become, he must become one with
Truth. How? He must first wake himself from the sleep of ignorance. He must
acquire strength. A man who is weak cannot attain the Truth. Therefore let him
be strong. He must not think that he is a sinner, that he is born in sin and iniquity.
On the contrary , he must feel imbued with the idea that he is a child of God;
that although he may have made mistakes, yet there is hope for him because he
is a child of God. Strengthening, lofty thought enables us to counteract the weakness
which is so dominant in our nature at represent. When our mind is fixed on a
high ideal and we become imbued with it. Now we are constantly afraid. Where
from does this fear come? Is it our nature? Our nature is fearlessness why
bring into it something that is foreign? Vedanta tells us; Shake off all weakens
all fear . a child of God should not be afraid of anything . if you want to rise make yourself strong. But you
must do it for yourself and you can only do it by right thinking.
The mind
is the instrument by which we accomplish everything. Our mind thinks-that
thought creates and what it creates we see in the external activity of our
life. So we must train this mind . we must not let it run wild. We must curb it
and use discrimination. The world approaches us under two forms, one is good
and the other pleasant. One appeals to our physical nature and the other to our
deeper nature; but that deeper nature is not awake in all. There are some who
almost forget that they possess a higher nature or that they have any
connection with the Supreme Yet the higher nature is there , latent within
their heart; and when they appeal to that nature and try to judge everything through
the light of that higher nature, it is gradually awakened and all their
activity becomes directed by it. Then they cannot go astray, they cannot do
anything wrong.

There are some people
whose presence exudes an indefinable power. A magnetic field is created every
time a current is passed through an electric wire.
The human nervous system
also transmits scientifically measurable electrical impulses; in so doing, it sets
up its own magnetic field. The more clearly the energy flow in the nervous
system can be realised at its subtle level, the greater one’s power to control
his life and the physical world around him. This helps one control his
spiritual destiny.
Whatever one holds
strongly in mind, he attracts to himself. When you send out a strong thought, a
ray of energy goes out from you towards the object of that thought, creating
its own magnetic field, strong or weak, according to the relative strength of
your will.
Abar of metal becomes
magnetised when it is placed next to an already-magnetised piece of iron.
Similarly, to acquire strong magnetism, it is important to mix with people who
already have the kind of magnetism that one wants to develop.
Every kind of human
activity manifests a magnetism of its own. For success in that activity,
develop the appropriate type of magnetism.
Everything originates in
the Infinite Spirit. Magnetism of every kind is born of the magnetic power of
God’s love. The hidden atomic energy in a bar of iron is far greater than what
one could generate from wielding the bar as a club.
Kindness and
fair-mindedness can solve differences more effectively than can brutal tactics.
Divine love is the most powerful force in the universe.

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.
