Positive Thinking

The Speaking Tree , India | ET

By R SHIVA KUMAR

We create our entire world by the way we think. Thoughts are the causes and conditions are the effects. Our circumstances and conditions are not dictated by the world outside; it is the world inside us that creates the outside.

Self-awareness comes from the mind, which means soul. Mind is the sum total of the states of consciousness grouped under thought, will and feeling. Besides self-consciousness, we have the power to choose and think.

Krishna says, “No man resteth a moment inactive.” Even when inactive on the bodily plane, we are all the time acting on the thought plane. Therefore, if we observe ourselves, we can easily mould our thoughts. If our thoughts are pure and noble, naturally, actions follow the same. If our thoughts are filled with jealousy, hatred and greed, our actions will be the same.

Karmically, however, thought or intent is more responsible and dynamic than an act. One may perform a charitable act, but if he does not think charitably and is doing the act just for the sake of gain and glory, it is his thoughts that will determine the result.

Theosophy teaches us that every thought, no matter how fleeting, leaves a seed in the mind of the thinker. These small seeds together go to make up a large thought seed and determine one’s general character.

Our thoughts affect the whole body. Each thought once generated and sent out becomes independent of the brain and mind and will live upon its own energy depending upon its intensity.

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

Let us se how what the Gita says about the characteristics of an illumined person.

The illumined sages , like all of us, use their sense organs in order to work, but unlike us, they never forget the goal. They are always aware that the senses are there servants and they the masters . it is this fact that we forget; we are pulled wherever the senses drag us. One of the Upanishads says that the Self is the maser riding a chariot. The body is the chariot; the senses are its horses and the mind their reins. The intellect, with the reins in hand, is the charioteer who is guiding the horses on the path full of sense objects. The destination is knowledge and peace, if the charioteer remains level-headed because of good training , he or she can manoeuvre these mad horses properly even on a dangerous road . Otherwise the horses disregard the reins and go by any path they like, at times even toppling the chariot upside down. The pure intellect directs the horses properly to the destination. But the impure intellect, bound by desire and greed, surrenders to the horses and advances on the path to total destruction?

Another characteristic of the illumined is that they remain serene in both joy and sorrow. In contrast , we are selfish and mad for our own personal pleasures. Even a little sorrow throws us off the balance. Taking the trouble to help strangers is out of the question-we remain carefree even if our neighbour is afflicted by the plague. Look at the numerous famines we have in India. What are we doing about it? If this were to happen anywhere in the West, the whole country would have been agitated . People would have said, “Why should there be such famines? Why should millions dies in our country for want of food?” they would have dedicated their lives to eliminate the problem. In these matters we Indians are inactive. We are full of inertia(tamas) In practical life we are utterly lazy, Someone wrote recently that the number of Indians who have died because of famines in the last nineteen years is four times those who have died in wars throughout the world in the last 107 years . how awful

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.

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality

Imagine wandering through a world that does not exist or catching a ball that is not there. It is all possible with virtual reality. For example, if you look into mirror, you can see a virtual world behind your reflection. Try holding a mirror horizontally in front of you while you walk from room to room. It seems like you are walking on the calling . but you should be very careful if you do this.

Virtual reality is anything that seems to exist but does not. A paining you might do of an imaginary house is virtual reality! The house only exists in the painting. With modern computers we can experience Interactive Reality interactive means it responds to things that you do.

Virtual Reality computer programmes can create imaginary landscapes that seem as real as the view you might see from the window of a train . Computer programmes use mathematical formulae to generate very realistic landscapes that move with you through this virtual world.

There are various items of equipments that can be used for exploring virtual reality. The most well-known is the headset. In front of the eyes are two tiny Tv screens that give yo a 3D view of the computer generated landscape. some more expensive headsets change the view as you move your head up and down or from side-to-side.

A VR Glove contains sensors that can detect the movements of  your fingers. Soon gloves will have sensors that make it seem as if you can actually feel virtual objects that do not really exist. Courtesy wisdom

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

The art of positive thinking

While defining religion. Swami Vivekanda said that religion is the idea which raises the brute unto man, and man unto God. What is the difference between a man and a machine? What is the difference between a man and a brute? The power of thinking. A machine cannot think nor can the brute; it is given only t the human being to think. Even the most wicked rogue, a crook., or even a criminal can raise himself to the height of the most pious saint, sage or a great soul, just by changing his or her way of thinking. There were many examples to demonstrate this. Who was Ratnakara and who was Angulimala? A robber and a dacoit, respectively. Today we bow down to them because of their complete transformation takes place and nothing less than that. This cannot happen in animals or machines. A man who does not think is not a human being at all

Most of us are not aware of this thought power . what is mind? A bunch of thoughts. All these thoughts, accumulated tendencies in the subconscious mind, make us dance to their tune. What a helpless condition? We are just machines manipulated by our thoughts. They guide us, make us act, force us to commit blunders and ultimately kill us. They dire us to unknown places rotate us in the wheel of samsara and bind us to this world. They drag us, pull us , and sometimes throw us in a ditch, and again lift us. They make us weep, they make us laugh-these thoughts. They make us obey like a slave. A salve whether caressed, or whipped, is after all only a salve. This is what our thoughts make us. There cannot be an effect without a cause.

Yes we ourselves are the cause of our helplessness . it is we who are responsible for our slavery. Yes we entertain the most crooked, evil terrible , violent , lustful, greedy and harmful thoughts . Brooding over them for years, nay births ,we have brought ourselves to this miserable state.

But there is nothing to despair or to be afraid of . There is hope. There are infinite possibilities hidden in each one of us. We can certainly undo what we have done. Non one can do it for us not even God “ You are the creator of your own destiny”, says Swami Vivekananda “ You are your own friend and you are your won enemy”, says Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. The whole responsibility lies on our shoulders. Look not for help . Turn the wheel upside down. Change the process of thinking. You can create heaven in hell by just learning the art of positive thinking. Courtesy The power of prayer and The Art of Positive thinking
