WHY ME ??

THERE WAS A PHASE IN MY LIFE WHEN I WAS VERY DISTURBED. I WAS FULL OF COMPLAINTS AND WAS UPSET WITH GOD. WHY HE HAS GIVEN ME A LIFE WHERE I HAVE TO DEPEND ON OTHERS' FOR DAILY CHORES. WHY I AM NOT BORN WITH AN ABLE BODY. SO I CAN LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE DO.

THESE QUESTIONS WERE PESTERING ME. I STARTED TO QUESTION THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

I WAS SUFFERING AND WAS HEADING TOWARDS DEPRESSION. BUT AT THE RIGHT TIME GOD HELPED ME TO COME OUT OF THAT PHASE.

IT IS NOT THAT SOME EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME. IT WAS A SLOW PROCESS. GOD LED ME OUT OF THAT SITUATION BY GIVING ME SMALL SIGNALS. WHICH I RECEIVED SOMETIMES WHILE READING A BOOK OR WATCHING A T.V. PROGRAMME OR TALKING TO SOMEONE.

THROUGH THOSE SIGNALS I  REALIZED THAT NO ONE IN THIS WORLD IS FREE FROM SUFFERINGS. THERE ARE MANY PERSONS WHOSE AFFLICTIONS ARE MUCH GREATER THAN MINE.

'THERE IS AN OLD SAYING I WAS CRYING FOR MY BARE FEET UNTIL I SAW A MAN WITHOUT LEGS.'

MOST OF THE TIME WE ARE SO DEEPLY IMMERSED IN THINKING ABOUT OUR SUFFERINGS THAT WE DON'T PAY ATTENTION ON OTHER POSITIVE THINGS WE HAVE.
I FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING WITH ADVERSITIES WITHOUT ANY COMPLAINT. THIS BROUGHT A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN MY LIFE. I REALIZED THAT ALL THIS COMPLAINING AND LAMENTATION WILL TAKE ME NOWHERE.

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT BEING IN DARKNESS BUT IT IS A STRUGGLE TO COME TO LIGHT. I SHIFTED MY ATTENTION ON POSITIVE SIDE OF MY LIFE. THE MORE I LOOK AT POSITIVE SIDE THE MORE I FELT BLESSED BY GOD. SOON I WAS OUT OF THAT BAD PHASE.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IF WE CAN UTILIZE WHAT WE HAVE IN BETTER WAY. ONE SHOULD NOT WASTE HIS LIFE IN LAMENTING FOR WHAT HE DOES NOT HAVE. RATHER HE SHOULD TRY TO MAKE MAXIMUM USE OF WHAT HE HAS.


WHENEVER  I LOOK BACK AT THAT TIME AND THINK ABOUT THOSE SIGNALS WHICH I RECEIVED, MY HEART FILLS WITH GRATITUDE. HOW INTELLIGENTLY GOD WAS DIVERTING ME FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE ASPECT OF LIFE. NOW I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR WHATEVER HE HAS GIVEN TO ME.

FIND UNITY IN DIVERSITY

HUMAN SOCIETY IS LIKE A BIG CANVAS PAINTED WITH VARIOUS VIBRANT COLORS. PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SKIN COLORS, FORMS, LIVE IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL CONDITIONS. THEY SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. FOLLOW DIFFERENT RELIGIONS AND CUSTOMS.THERE CUISINE, ETIQUETTE, THE WAY OF DRESSING EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT.
BUT THERE ALWAYS LIES UNITY IN DIVERSITY. THE PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT CULTURES, SKIN COLORS AND FORMS HAVE THE SAME EMOTIONS. WE ALL FEEL THE JOY AND SORROW, LOVE, COMPASSION, HATRED, ANGER. THE SKIN COLOR MAY BE DIFFERENT BUT THE BLOOD WHICH OOZES OUT FROM A WOUND HAS THE SAME COLOR.

AS THE LIGHT BEAM WHICH PASSES THROUGH A PRISM SCATTERS ITSELF IN SEVEN DIFFERENT COLORS SIMILARLY ONE ENERGY TAKES THE DIFFERENT FORMS IN LIVING BEINGS.

THEN WHY WE FIGHT ON TRIVIAL THINGS LIKE SKIN COLOR, LANGUAGE, RELIGION. WHY WE DON'T UNDERSTAND AFFLICTIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE. WHY WE CREATE DIVISION BETWEEN US. .
THE REASON OF  THIS IS OUR LIMITED OUTLOOK DUE TO WHICH WE CAN NOT LOOK DEEP INSIDE THE MATTER. WE ONLY SEE THE OUTER LAYER WHICH HAS THE VARIETY BUT NEVER TRY TO LOOK INSIDE THE LAYER WHERE EVERYTHING IS SAME. 

WHEN WE FAIL TO SEE THE  FACT THAT SAME ENERGY IS WORKING WITHIN US AS VITAL FORCE WE HURT EACH OTHER WITHOUT CONSIDERING THAT WE ARE INSULTING THE ABSOLUTE POWER WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF THIS UNIVERSE. WHEN ONE PERSON KILLS THE OTHER PERSON IN THE NAME OF RELIGION, CAST, SKIN COLOR HE HARMS THE HUMANITY. HE DISRESPECTS THE VALUES OF LIFE.

THE TRUTH CAN BE REACHED THROUGH DIFFERENT WAYS BUT TRUTH WILL REMAIN SAME. THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH OF THIS UNIVERSE IS 'GOD'. DIFFERENT  RELIGIONS ARE LIKE DIFFERENT ROUTES REACHING TO SAME DESTINATION. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN WE THINK THAT THE ROUTE WE ARE TAKING IS ONE AND ONLY CORRECT WAY TO FIND TRUTH.WHEN WE REJECT THE OPINION OF OTHER PERSONS ON THIS MATTER. THIS LEADS TO RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE AND CREATES A DISTURBANCE IN SOCIETY. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO LEAD OUR LIFE ON OUR OWN BELIEFS AND THOUGHTS BUT WE SHOULD ALSO RESPECT OTHERS' WAY OF THINKING. EVEN IF WE HAVE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION WE SHOULD TRY TO SHOW IT WITHOUT HURTING OTHERS' FEELINGS.

THE HUMAN SOCIETY IS FACING SO MANY PROBLEMS. THEY MAY LOOK DIFFERENT FROM OUTSIDE BUT THEY HEART PEOPLE IN SAME MANNER. WE ALL NEED LOVE AND PEACE. THE NEED OF THE HOUR IS TO REMOVE ALL THE DIFFERENCES AND HELP EACH OTHER. 

AS WE ARE MOST INTELLIGENT CREATURES OF THIS EARTH IT IS OUR DUTY TO CREATE A PEACEFUL SOCIETY WHERE EVERYONE CAN LIVE WITH DIGNITY AND FEEL SECURE TO PLACE HIS OPINION. TO LIVE LIFE ACCORDING TO HIS FAITH. WHERE NO ONE FEEL INFERIOR ON THE BASIS OF HIS CAST OR SKIN COLOR.
THIS CAN BE DONE ONLY WHEN WE LEARN TO ACCEPT THE WHOLE HUMANITY AS A ONE BIG FAMILY.

WE SHOULD TRY TO BECOME GENEROUS LIKE NATURE WHICH BINDS TOGETHER DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN PERFECT HARMONY.

DO WE NEED RELIGION

HUMAN BEINGS FOLLOW DIFFERENT RELIGIONS.WE FOLLOW THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES WITH ABSOLUTE FIDELITY.

NOW THE QUESTION ARISES DO WE NEED TO FOLLOW ANY RELIGION.

YES WE NEED TO FOLLOW A RELIGION

WHAT IS RELIGION AND WHAT SIGNIFICANCE IT HAS IN OUR LIFE.

RELIGION IS A WAY OF LIFE. IT IS A SET OF BELIEFS WHICH HELPS US TO BECOME GOOD HUMAN BEINGS. IT REGULATES HUMAN SOCIETY.

ALL RELIGIONS TEACH US TO BE TRUE, PURE. TO LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE. TO CULTIVATE THE QUALITIES OF LOVE, BENEVOLENCE, KINDNESS, NON VIOLENCE.

RELIGION IS A MEDIUM WHICH HELPS US TO REACH OUR ULTIMATE GOAL OF LIFE "GOD"

This is what I found out about religion: it gives you courage to make the decisions you must make in a crisis, and then the confidence to leave the result to a higher power. Only by trust in God can a man carrying responsibility find repose. [Dwight Eisenhower]

EVERY RELIGION HAS ITS OWN METHOD TO INTERACT TO GOD KNOWN AS PRAYER. PRAYER CONNECTS US DIRECTLY WITH GOD. IT TAKES US TO THE HIGHER PLATFORM OF SPIRITUALITY. 

SPIRITUALITY OPENS THE DOOR OF REALM OF GOD. IT IS A STATE WHEN WE FORGET OUR WORLDLY CONNECTIONS AND ENTERS INTO THE WORLD OF SUPREME REALITY.

SO RELIGION IS A MEDIUM TO TO GET INTO THE ZONE OF SPIRITUALITY.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
Buddha

AS ONE NEEDS A VEHICLE TO REACH TO A CERTAIN PLACE. WHEN HE GETS THERE HE DOES NOT NEED THE VEHICLE. SIMILARLY FOLLOWING A RELIGION HELPS US TO ENTER THE WORLD OF SPIRITUALITY.

ONE WHO REACHED THERE AND COMPLETELY SITUATED IN SPIRITUAL WORLD DOES NOT NEED TO FOLLOW ANY RELIGION.

BUT UNTIL THAT STAGE IS NOT ACHIEVED ONE SHOULD NOT DEVIATE FROM HIS RELIGIOUS DUTIES.

THEN WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. WHY MOST OF US CAN NOT GET TO THE WORLD OF SPIRITUALITY. 

BECAUSE MOST OF US THINK THAT FOLLOWING THE RITUALS OF A RELIGION IS ONLY THING WE NEED TO DO. IT IS LIKE WALKING ON A ROAD WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO REACH SOMEWHERE. 

THE RELIGION IS LIKE A RUNWAY  WHICH IS LAID FOR A PLANE TO TAKEOFF. ONCE THE PLANE GETS FLIGHT IT DOES NOT NEED RUNWAY. AS IT IS GOING TO FLY HIGH.
BUT INSTEAD TO TAKEOFF WE ARE ROAMING ON THIS RUNWAY AIMLESSLY.

THE NEED IS TO RECOGNIZE  THE GOAL OF LIFE. WE SHOULD TRY TO REACH THAT GOAL WITH THE HELP OF RELIGION. 

RELIGION IS A MEDIUM NOT THE DESTINATION.

FILL THE GAP WITH DIVINE BLISS

WE ALL DESIRE FOR THE POWER, FAME AND MONEY. WE WORK HARD TO GET THESE THINGS. 

 

WHY WE NEED THESE THINGS IN OUR LIFE.

 

MOST OF US THINK THAT THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO PROVIDE US A SENSE OF FULFILLMENT AND SECURITY.

 

WE ALL FEEL EMPTINESS WITHIN OUR HEARTS. THERE IS A VOID IN EACH OF US WHICH WE TRY TO FILL WITH THESE THINGS. 

 

IT IS NOT BAD TO EARN MONEY OR HAVE A POSITION IN SOCIETY. BUT THERE MUST BE A LIMIT OF ALL THESE THINGS. PROBLEM ARISES WHEN WE RUN AFTER THESE THINGS IGNORING OTHER ASPECTS OF LIFE. WHEN WE TRY TO GET MONEY AND POWER AT ANY COST.

 

A BALANCE IS NEEDED IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE. WHEN THIS BALANCE IS DISTURBED THE PROBLEMS ARISE IN OUR LIFE.

 

IN THE MODERN TIME  THERE IS A COMMON BELIEF THAT THE MORE WE POSSESS THE MORE WE ARE HAPPY. THEREFORE WE COLLECT AS MUCH THINGS AS WE CAN.

 

IF WE CAN NOT GET THESE THINGS WE FEEL FRUSTRATED AND TRY TO GET THEM AT ANY COST IGNORING OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS IN OUR LIFE.

 

EVEN IF WE GET THE DESIRED THINGS THEY DON'T PROVIDE US PERMANENT  JOY. PERMANENT SATISFACTION CAN NOT BE DERIVED THROUGH TEMPORARY THINGS. THEREFORE WE TRY TO ACHIEVE MORE. TRY TO REACH ANOTHER LEVEL. THIS PROCESS CONTINUES TILL THE END OF LIFE.

 

WE EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM LIFE. WHEN THESE EXPECTATIONS CAN NOT BE FULFILLED WE FEEL DISTRESSED. THIS DISTRESS LEADS US TOWARDS DEPRESSION. DEPRESSION CREATES DISASTROUS SITUATION IN LIFE.

 

LIFE IS NOT A RACE. THE SUCCESS OF LIFE DOES NOT DEPEND ON HOW MUCH WE CAN AMASS BUT IT DEPENDS ON HOW PEACEFULLY AND HAPPILY WE LEAD IT. THE MOTIVE OF LIFE IS TO GIVE IT A MEANING, TO LIVE IN A MANNER THAT IT CAN BE USEFUL FOR US AND FOR OTHERS'.

 

TRY TO FIND HAPPINESS IN WHAT WE HAVE INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR ENERGY IN RUNNING AFTER THINGS WHICH WE DON'T HAVE.

 

WE MUST LEARN TO DRAW A LINE BETWEEN OUR NECESSITIES AND DESIRES.

 

HAPPINESS COMES FROM INSIDE. IT CAN NOT BE FIND IN OBJECTS UNLESS WE CAN'T FEEL IT WITHIN. WE FEEL INNER JOY WHEN WE TRY TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY. TRY TO LIVE OUR LIFE IN SIMPLE MANNER. FILL THE GAP IN YOUR LIFE WITH LOVE OF GOD. BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY THING WHICH IS ETERNAL. 

 

WHEN WE TRY TO HELP OTHER WITHOUT ANY SELFISH MOTIVE WE FEEL CLOSE TO GOD. WE FEEL THE DIVINE BLISS WHICH REMAINS FOREVER.

RELATIONS ARE BASIS OF LIFE.

HUMAN BEINGS ARE SOCIAL CREATURES. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY MANY RELATIONS THROUGHOUT OUR LIFE. RELATIONS ARE THE BASIS OF OUR SOCIAL SYSTEM. THEY KEEP US TOGETHER. HEALTHY RELATIONS STRENGTHEN THE STRUCTURE OF OUR SOCIETY.
LOVE MAKES THE BOND BETWEEN TWO PERSONS STRONG. A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP REQUIRES THE SENSE OF RESPECT, UNDERSTANDING AND SACRIFICE FOR EACH OTHER
RELATIONS GIVE US MUCH LOVE, CARE, SENSE OF FULFILLMENT. THEY MAKE OUR LIFE COMPLETE.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH PARTIES TO  MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP. ONE PARTY CAN NOT TAKE A RELATIONSHIP VERY FAR. IF ONLY ONE PERSON EFFORTS IN THIS RESPECT BUT OTHER PERSON REMAINS INDIFFERENT THEN THE RELATIONSHIP CAN NOT BE NORMAL. THERE WILL SUFFOCATION IN THE RELATIONSHIP. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP.

“Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.”

TO MAINTAIN A LONG AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WE MUST RETURN WHAT WE EXPECT FROM OTHERS. PROBLEM ARISES WHEN WE TAKE FROM OTHERS BUT NEVER RETURN THE FAVORS.RELATIONSHIP IS NOT A ONE WAY AFFAIR. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT BOTH PARTIES MUST DEDICATE THEMSELVES COMPLETELY FOR RELATIONSHIP.

EGO IS THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF A RELATIONSHIP. WHEN EGO COMES INTO A RELATIONSHIP IT HOLLOWS OUT THE ROOT OF A RELATIONSHIP LIKE TERMITES. 
IT CREATES A WORST SITUATION AND RUINS THE RELATIONSHIP. LOVE BETWEEN THE TWO PERSONS VANISHES IN THE STORM OF ARGUMENT BETWEEN THEM. A ROUND OF IMPEACHMENT STARTS BETWEEN THEM.

"Don’t allow egoism to enter your minds, and let love never depart from your hearts". [Swami Vivekanand]

ANOTHER THING WHICH CAN DESTROY A RELATIONSHIP IS DOUBT. IT IS NECESSARY FOR BOTH THE PARTIES TO HAVE FULL FAITH ON EACH OTHER  FOR THIS THERE MUST BE TRANSPARENCY IN THE RELATIONSHIP.


"There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills." [Buddha]

RELATIONS ARE IMPORTANT FOR OUR LIFE. THE ENERGY WE RECEIVE FROM OUR RELATIONS MAKES US EMOTIONALLY STRONG AND HELP US IN OUR GROWTH. IT IS OUR DUTY TO MAINTAIN THE DIGNITY OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS.

"I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important."  [David Rockefeller]

TAMING THE WILD HORSE

OUR MIND IS A POWERFUL TOOL. IT IS THE MIND THROUGH WHICH WE PERCEIVE THIS WORLD. WE THINK WITH OUR MIND, DREAM WITH OUR MIND, CREATES A WORLD AROUND US WITH MIND. THE MIND GIVES US INSPIRATION TO RISE, TO ACHIEVE. THE UNTHINKABLE WHICH IS DONE BY HUMAN BEINGS IS DUE TO THE POWER OF MIND. IT MAKES US WHO WE ARE.

THE POWER OF MIND IS ASTOUNDING. PEOPLE OF VARIOUS FIELD  IN PRESENT WORLD TALK ABOUT THE POWER OF MIND. WHETHER IT IS SPORTS, MEDICINE, SCIENCE,POLITICS IN ALL AREAS MIND PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE. IT IS DUE TO MENTAL TOUGHNESS WE FACE THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE. 

MIND IS A SUBTLE PART OF OUR BRAIN. IT IS BASE OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS. IT PRODUCES OUR THOUGHTS, PERCEPTIONS AND EMOTIONS. 

THE POWER OF MIND IS INDESCRIBABLE AND UNIMAGINABLE. IT IS A MOST POWERFUL  WEAPON OF THE WORLD. IT CAN CREATE AND DESTROY IN  A MOMENT.  MIND IS VERY FLICKERING IN NATURE.  LIKE A MONKEY IT ALWAYS JUMP FROM HERE AND THERE. AS MIND IS SO POWERFUL WE NEED TO CONTROL IT TO UTILIZE ITS POWERS FOR OWN BENEFIT. 

THEREFORE WE MUST LEARN TO CONTROL OUR MIND. WE NEED TO SEIZE THIS UNSTABLE MIND AND DRAG IT FROM ITS WANDERING AND MAKE IT STABLE. THE MIND IS LIKE AN UNRULY HORSE IF WANT TO USE ITS POWER WE MUST LEARN HOW TO BRIDLE THIS HORSE. IF WE CAN NOT CONTROL OUR MIND IT CAN USE US IN ITS OWN WAY.

“You have two choices, to control your mind or to let your mind control you.”  [Paulo Coelho]

THE UNRULY MIND IS THE CAUSE OF MOST OF OUR MISERIES. WHEN WE LET IT TO WANDER IT ENGAGES US IN USELESS THOUGHTS. IT RUNS AFTER UNNECESSARY THINGS CREATES CRAVING FOR THEM. MOST OF OUR ENERGY IS WASTED IN PURSUING THE DESIRED THINGS. 

OUR MIND CAN NOT REMAIN STILL. IT NEEDS SOMETHING TO OCCUPY IT.  AS A YOUNG BOY WHO IS FULL OF ENERGY, NEEDS SOMETHING TO RELEASE HIS ENERGY.  IF WE PROVIDE HIM PROPER CHANNEL TO FLOW HIS ENERGY HE CAN USE IT FOR SELF PROGRESS OTHERWISE HE CAN USE HIS ENERGY IN DESTRUCTIVE THINGS. SIMILARLY IF MIND IS NOT CONTROLLED AND IS ALLOWED TO WANDER IT CAN LEAD US TO SELF DESTRUCTION.

IT IS AN OLD SAYING 'AN EMPTY MIND IS DEVILS DEN' THEREFORE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO  SEIZE THE WANDERING OUR MIND AND ENGAGE IT IN SOME POSITIVE THINGS. GIVE IT SOME CHALLENGE. ENGAGE IT IN SOME CREATIVE WORK. 

SET A GOAL FOR YOURSELF. FOCUS YOUR MIND ON IT. SLOWLY IT WILL COMPLETELY INVOLVE ITSELF IN GETTING YOUR GOAL.

BUT WE NEED A STILL AND CALM MIND FOR THIS. TO ACHIEVE THE EQUANIMITY OF MIND WE MUST TRY TO DETACH  IT FROM OTHER THINGS AND TRY TO FOCUS IT ON ONE POINT. THIS CAN NOT BE ACHIEVED IN ONE DAY. WE HAVE TO PRACTISE IT. THE MEDITATION CAN HELP US IN THIS PURPOSE.  REMEMBER

MIND IF WE CAN CONTROL IT CAN BE OUR GOOD FRIEND BUT AN UNRULY MIND CAN DESTROY US. 

"The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us down, down for ever- rend us kill us; and the mind controlled and guided will save us, free us." [Swami Vivekanand]

 

THOUGHTS ARE POWERFUL

AS WE NEED BALANCED AND NUTRITIOUS DIET FOR A HEALTHY BODY SIMILARLY WE NEED PURE AND OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS FOR A STRONG PERSONALITY. THOUGHTS ARE VERY POWERFUL.PURE AND OPTIMISTIC THOUGHTS CAN BUILD A STRONG PERSON WHO CAN FACE EXTREMELY HARD SITUATION WITHOUT BEING PANICKED.
THOUGHTS ENTER TO OUR MIND IN TO WAYS 

•      THROUGH HEARING
•      THROUGH READING

WHATEVER THOUGHT WE RECEIVE THROUGH THESE WAYS ENTERS INTO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. SLOWLY IT BECOMES PART OF OUR PERSONALITY. THEREFORE WE MUST TAKE CARE IN ACQUISITION OF THOUGHTS. AS CONTAMINATED FOOD IS HARMFUL FOR BODY CORRUPT THOUGHTS CAN ALSO DEBILITATE OUR PERSONALITY.

"We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far." [Swami Vivekananda] 

THOUGHTS REMAIN WITHIN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND LIKE A SEED BENEATH THE SOIL. AS A SEED SPROUTS AFTER SOME TIME THOUGHTS ALSO AFFECT OUR PERSONALITY. WE REAP AS WE SOW. THEREFORE NEVER ALLOW A CORRUPT THOUGHT TO ENTER IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.
ONE WHO THINKS POSITIVELY CAN GO FAR AHEAD IN LIFE BECAUSE POSITIVE THINKING GIVES HIM A CONFIDENCE WHICH CAN NOT BE SHAKEN BY DIFFICULTIES. HE CAN FACE ANY PROBLEM IRRESPECTIVE OF HIS CONDITION. BUT ONE WHO HAS NEGATIVE APPROACH TOWARDS LIFE CAN NOT BE SUCCESSFUL NO MATTER HOW MUCH FAVORABLE HIS CONDITION IS. REMEMBER WE ARE WHAT WE THINK ABOUT OUR PERSONALITY. IF WE THINK WE ARE STRONG AND CAN FACE ANY SITUATION WE CAN BE A WINNER.

"Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak." [Swami Vivekananda]


NOT ONLY IN ACQUISITION OF THOUGHTS BUT WE MUST ALSO TAKE CARE IN COMMUNICATING THEM TO OTHERS'. THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO SPREAD A THOUGHT

• THROUGH CONVERSATION 
• THROUGH WRITINGS

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE ONLY PROMOTE GOOD THOUGHTS WHICH CAN AFFECT OTHERS' IN A POSITIVE WAY. THOUGHTS CAN BRING SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN ONE'S PERSONALITY. WE CAN BRING NEW CONSCIOUSNESS IN SOCIETY THROUGH POSITIVE THOUGHTS. 
THOUGHTS ARE POWERFUL. THEY REMAIN EVEN AFTER A PERSON DIES AND CAN GUIDE THE FUTURE GENERATION.

"Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth." [Swami Vivekananda]
