THOUGHT POWER: The Law of Attraction in Action - A Guide to Mental & Spiritual Transformation - Sri Swami Sivananda · THE SECRET LAW OF ATTRACTION: Manifest Wealth, Success & Abundance

  Speaker 1: Thought Power by Sri Swami Sivanandah, Chapter one, Thought Power,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: its physics and its philosophy. Thought excels light in speed.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: While light travels at the rate of one hundred and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: eighty six thousand miles per second, thoughts virtually travel in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: no time. Thought is finer than ether, the medium of electricity.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: In broadcasting, a singer sings beautiful songs at Calcutta, you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: can hear them nicely through the radio set in your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: own house. At Delhi, all messages are received through the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: wireless Even so your mind is like a wireless machine.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: A saint with peace, poise, harmony, and spiritual waves sends
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: out into the world thoughts of harmony and peace. They
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: travel with lightning speed in all directions and enter the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: minds of persons and produce in them also similar thoughts
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of harmony and peace. Whereas a worldly man whose mind
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is full of jealousy, revenge, and hatred sends out discordant thoughts,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: which enter the minds of thousands and stir in them
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: similar thoughts of hatred and discord the medium through which
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: thoughts travel. If we throw a piece of stone in
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a tank or a pool of water, it will produce
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a succession of concentric waves traveling all around from the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: affected place. The light of a candle will similarly give
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: rise to waves of ethereal vibrations traveling in all directions
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: from the candle. In the same manner, when a thought,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: whether good or evil, crosses the mind of a person,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it gives rise to vibrations in the monis or mental atmosphere,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: which travel far and wide in all directions. What is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the possible medium through which thoughts can travel from one
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: mind to another? The best possible explanation is that manus
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or mind substance fills all space like ether, and it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: serves as the vehicle for thoughts. As prana is the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: vehicle for feeling, as ether is the vehicle for heat,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: light and electricity, and as air is the vehicle for sound.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The ether of space regis's thoughts. You can move the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: world through thought force. Thought has great power. It can
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be transmitted from one man to another man. The powerful
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: thoughts of great sages and wishies of Europe are still
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: recorded in the Acasa ether Acasic records. Yogans who have
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: clairvoyant vision can perceive those thought images. They can read them.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You are surrounded by an ocean of thought. You are
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: floating in the ocean of thought. You are absorbing certain
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: thoughts and repelling some. In the thought world, everyone has
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: his own thought world. Thoughts are living things. Thoughts are
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: living things. A thought is as much solid as a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: piece of stone. We may cease to be, but our
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thoughts can never die. Every change in thought is accompanied
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: by vibration of its matter. Mental thought, as force, needs
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a special kind of subtle matter in its working. The
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: stronger the thing thoughts, the earlier the fructification. Thought is
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: focused and given a particular direction. And in the degree
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that thought is thus focused and given direction, it is
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: effective in the work it is sent out to accomplish.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Thoughts are finer forces. Thought is a finer force. This
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is supplied to us by food. If you read Candoggio Upanishad,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the dialogue between Adulaka and Sperdikito, you will understand this
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: point well. If the food is pure, thought also becomes pure.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He who has pure thoughts speaks very powerfully and produces
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: deep impression on the minds of the hearers. By his speech,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he influences thousands of persons through his pure thoughts. A
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: pure thought is sharper than the edge of a razor.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Entertain always pure, sublime thoughts. Thought culture is an exact science.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Thoughts as wireless messages. Those who harbor thoughts of hatred, jealousy, revenge,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and malice are verily very dangerous persons. They cause unrest
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and ill will amongst men. Their thoughts and feelings are
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: like wireless messages broadcast in ether and are received by
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: those whose minds respond to such vibrations. Thought moves with
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: tremendous velocity. Those who entertain sublime and pious thoughts help
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: others who are in their vicinity and at a distance. Also,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: thoughts are tremendous powers. Thought has got tremendous power. Thought
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: can heal diseases. Thoughts can transform the mentality of persons.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Thought can do anything. It can work wonders. The velocity
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of thought is unimaginable. Thought is a dynamic force. It
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is caused by the vibrations of psychic energy on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: mental substance. It is a force like gravitation, cohesion or repulsion.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Thought travels or moves, thought waves and thought transference. What
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is this world? After all? It is nothing but the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: materialization of the thought forms of golden womb or God.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You have got waves of heat and light and electricity.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: In science, there are also thought waves. In yoga, thought
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: has tremendous power. Everybody is experiencing the power of thought
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: unconsciously to a greater or lesser degree. Great Yogans like Shnanidev,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Bartri Hari and Patanjuli used to send and receive messages
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to and from distant persons through mind telepathy, mental radio
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and thought transference. Telepathy was the first wireless telegraph and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: telephone service ever known to the world. Just as you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: take physical exercises play games such as tennis and cricket,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in order to maintain physical health, you will have to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: maintain mental health by radiating the right thought waves, by
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: taking pure food, mental recreation of an innocent and harmless nature,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: change of mood, relaxation of mind by anything good, ennobling
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in sublime thoughts, and by cultivating the habit of cheerfulness
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: marvels of thought vibrations. Every thought that you send out
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is a vibration which never perishes. It goes on vibrating
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: every particle of the universe. And if your thoughts are noble,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: wholly and forcible, they set in vibration every sympathetic mind. Unconsciously,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all people who are like you take the thought you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: have projected, and in accordance with the capacity that they have,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they send out similar thoughts. The result is that, without
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: your knowledge of the consequences of your own work, you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: will be setting in motion great forces which will work
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: together and put down the lowly and mean thoughts generated
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: by the selfish and the wicked diversity of thought vibrations.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Every man has his own mental world, his own mode
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of thinking, his own ways of understanding things, and his
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: own ways of acting. Just as the face and voice
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of every man differ from those of another man, the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: mode of thinking and understanding also differs. That is the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: reason why misunderstanding easily occurs between friends. One is not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: able to understand rightly the views of another. Hence friction, rupture,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and quarrel occur within a minute. Even amongst fast friends,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the friendship does not last long. One should be in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: tune with the mental vibrations or thought vibrations of another.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Then only can one easily understand another. Lustful thoughts, thoughts
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of hatred, jealousy, and selfishness produce distorted images in the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: mind and cause clouding of understanding, perversion of intellect, loss
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: of memory, and confusion in the mind, conservation of thought energy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: In physics you have the term power of orientation. Though
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the mass of energy is there, the current will not flow.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It must be connected to the magnet, and then the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: electric current will flow through the power of orientation. Even so,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the mental energy, which is disated and misdirected in various
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: worthless worldly thoughts, should be well directed in proper spiritual channels.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Do not store in your brain useless information. Learn to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: unmind the mind. Unlearn whatever has been of no use
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to you. Then only can you fill your mind with
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: divine thoughts. You will gain new mental strength as the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: dissipated mental rays are collected. Now the cell theory and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the thoughts. A cell is a mass of protoplasm with
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a nucleus. It is endowed with intelligence. Some cells secrete,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: while some cells excrete. The cells of the testes secrete seamen,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The cells of the kidneys excrete urine. Some cells act
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the part of a soldier. They defend the body from
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the inroads or attacks of foreign poisonous matter and germs.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: They digest and throw them out. Some cells carry food,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: materials to the tissues and organs. The cells perform their
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: works without your conscious volition. Their activities are controlled by
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the sympathetic nervous system. They are in direct communion with
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the mind. In the brain, every impulse of the mind,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: every thought, is conveyed to the cells. They are greatly
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: influenced by the varying conditions or states of the mind.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: If there are confusion, depression, and other negative emotions and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: thoughts in the mind, they are telegraphically transmitted through the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: nerves to every cell in the body. The soldier cells
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: become panic stricken, They are weakened. They are not able
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to perform their function properly. They become inefficient. Some people
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: are extremely body conscious and possess no idea of the self.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: They live irregular in disciplined lives and fill their stomachs
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: with sweets, pastries, and so on. There is no rest
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for the digestive and the eliminating organs. They suffer from
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: physical weakness and diseases. The the atoms, molecules and cells
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in their bodies produced discordant or inharmonious vibrations. They have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: no hope, confidence, faith, serenity, and cheerfulness. They are unhappy.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The life force is not operating properly. Their vitality is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: at a low ebb. Their mind is filled with fear, despair, worry,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and anxiety. Primal thought and modern science, thought is the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: greatest force on earth. Thought is the most powerful weapon
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in the armour of a yogi. Constructive thought transforms, renews,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and builds. The far reaching possibilities of this force were
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: most accurately developed to perfection by the ancients and put
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to the highest possible use. For thought is the primal
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: force at the origin and back of all creation. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: genesis of the entire phenomenal creation is given as a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: single thought that arose in the cosmic mind. The world
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: is the primal idea made menant manifest. This first thought
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: became manifest as a vibration issuing from the eternal stillness
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of the divine essence. This is the reference in classic
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: terminology to the eka desire of the golden womb cosmic
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: soul that originates as a spandana, or vibration. This vibration
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is nothing like the rapid oscillation to and fro of
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: physical particles, but is something infinitely subtle, so subtle as
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to be even inconceivable to the normal mind. But this
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: has made it clear that all forces are ultimately resolvable
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: into a state of pure vibration. Modern science also has
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: newly arrived at this conclusion after its prolonged researches in
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: external physical nature. Radium and the rare yogi radium is
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a rare commodity. Yogans who have controlled their thoughts are
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: also very rare in this world. Like radium. Just as
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: sweet perfume continuously emanates from an incense stick, so also
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: divine perfume and divine effulgence, Magnetic brahmic aura radiate from
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a yogi who has controlled his thoughts and who is
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: constantly dwelling on brahmin or the infinite. The effulgence and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: perfume of his face is Brahma arches the divine aura.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: When you hold in your hand a bouquet made of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: jasmine rose and champaka flowers, the sweet perfume pervades the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: whole hall and tickles all alike. Even so, the perfume,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: more fame and reputation of a yogi who has controlled
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: his thoughts spreads far and wide. He becomes a cosmic
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: force thought its weight, size, and shape. Every thought has
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: got weight, shape, size, form, color, quality, and power. A
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: yogi can see all these thoughts directly with his inner
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: yogic eye. Thoughts are like things. Just as you hand
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: over an orange to your friend and take it back,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: so also you can give a useful, powerful thought to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: your friend and also take it back. Thought is a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: great force. It moves a creates. You can work wonders
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: with the power of thought. You must know the right
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: technique of handling and manipulating a thought, thought, its form,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: its name, and color. Suppose your mind is rendered perfectly, calm,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: entirely without thoughts. Nevertheless, as soon as thought begins to rise,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it will immediately take name and form. Every thought has
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a certain name and a certain form. Thus you find
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that every idea that man has or can have, must
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: be connected with a certain word as its counterpart. Form
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is the grosser and name the finer state of a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: single manifesting power called thought. But these three are one
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: wherever there is one, the other two also are there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Wherever name is, there are form and thought. A spiritual
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: thought has yellow color. A thought charged with anger and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: hatred is of a dark red color. A selfish thought
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: has a brown color, and so on. Thought, its power, workings,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and uses. Thought is a vital, living, dynamic power, the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: most vital, subtle, and irresistible force existing in the universe.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Through the instrumentality of thought, you acquire creative power. Thought
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: passes from one man to another. It influences people. A
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: man of powerful thought can influence readily people of weak thoughts.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: There are nowadays numerous books on thought, culture, thought, power,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: thought dynamics. A study of them will give you a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: comprehensive understanding of thought, its power, its workings, and usefulness.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: We live in a boundless world of thoughts. Thought alone
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: is the whole world. The great pains, the old age, death,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and the great sin earth, water, fire, air, ether. Thought
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: binds a man. He who has controlled his thoughts is
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a veritable god on this earth. You live in a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: world of thoughts. First is thought. Then there is the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: expression of that thought through the organ of speech. Thought
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and language are intimately connected. Thoughts of anger, bitterness, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: malice injure others. If the mind, which is the cause
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of all thoughts, vanishes, the external objects will disappear. Thoughts
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: are things sound, touch, form, taste, and odor. The five sheaths,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the waking the dreaming and deep sleep states. All these
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: are the products of mind. Intention, thoughts, passion, anger, bondage.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Time know them to be the result of mind. Mind
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: is the king of the senses. Thought is the root
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of all mental process. The thoughts that we perceive all
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: round us are only the mind in form or substance.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Thought creates, thought destroys. Bitterness and sweetness do not lie
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in the objects, but they are in the mind, in
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the subject. In thinking. They are creep by thought through
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the play of the mind. For thought upon objects, proximity
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: appears to be a great distance, and vice versa. All
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: objects in this world are unconnected. They are connected and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: associated together only by thought, by the imagination of your mind.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: It is the mind that gives color, shape qualities to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the objects. Mind assumes the shape of any object that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: intensely thinks upon. Friend and enemy, Virtue and vice are
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: in the mind. Only. Every man creates a world of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: good and evil, pleasure and pain out of his own imagination.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Only good and evil, pleasure and pain do not proceed
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: from objects. These belong to the attitude of your mind.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: There is nothing good nor pleasant in this world. Your
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: imagination makes it so. Thoughts electricity and philosophy. Thoughts are
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: giant powers. They are more powerful than electricity. They control
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: your life, mold your character, and shape your destiny. Mark
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: how one thought expands into many thoughts within a short time.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Suppose you get an idea to set up a tea
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: party for your friends. The one thought of tea invites
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: instantaneously the thoughts of sugar, milk, tea cups, tables, chairs, tablecloth, napkins, spoons, cakes, biscuits,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So this world is nothing but the expansion
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of thoughts. The expansion of thoughts of the mind towards
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the objects is bondage, and the renunciation of thoughts is liberation.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You must be very watchful in nipping the thoughts in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the bud. Only then will you be really happy. Mind
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: tricks and plays. You must understand its nature, ways and habits.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Then only can you control it very easily. The world's
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: most extraordinary book of practical philosophical idealism of India is Yogovasishta.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The gist of this work is this, the nondual Brahman
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: or the immortal soul alone exists. This universe as universe
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: is not knowledge of the self alone. Will free one
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: from this round of births and deaths. Extinction of thoughts
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and mental impressions is mokshall liberation. Expansion of mind alone
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: is intention, intention or thought, through its power of differentiation,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: generates this universe. This world is a play of the mind.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: This world does not exist in the three periods of time.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Extinction of intentions and thoughts is liberation. Annihilate this little
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: high mental impressions, intentions, thoughts, meditate on the self and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: become a liberated javan makta. Outer world pre exists in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the thoughts. Every thought has an image. A table is
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a mental image plus some external thing. Whatever you see
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: outside has its counterpart in the mind. The pupil is
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a small round thing in the eye. Retina is a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: small structure. How is it that the image of a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: big mountain seen through a small aperture or structure cast
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: on the mind. This is a marvel of marvels. The
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: image of a mountain already exists in the mind. The
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: mind is like a vast sheet of canvas that contains
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: all the pictures of the objects seen outside world. A
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: projection of thought, careful reflection will show that the entire
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: universe is in reality, the projection of the human mind
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Manometram Jugget. Purification and control of the mind is the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: central aim of all yogas. Mind in itself is but
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a record of impressions that keep expressing ceaselessly as impulses
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and thoughts. The mind is what it does. Thought impels
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you to action. Activity creates fresh impressions in the mind. Stuff.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yoga strikes at the very root of this vicious circle
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: by a method of a efectively inhibiting the functions of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the mind. Yoga checks, controls, and stops the root function
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of the mind, i e. Thought. When thought is transcended, intuition,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: functions and self knowledge supervenes. Thought has the potency of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: creating or undoing the world. In the twinkling of an eye,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: mind creates the world according to its own intention or thought.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: It is the mind that creates this universe through the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: play of the mind. An aon is reckoned by it
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: as a moment, and vice versa, like a dream, generating
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: another dream in it. The mind, having no visible form,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: generates existent visibles, thoughts, world and the timeless reality. It
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: is the mind that is the root cause of the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: tree of some Sara cycle of birth, death, and rebirth
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: with its thousands of shoots, branches, tender leaves, and fruits.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: If you annihilate thoughts, you can destroy the tree of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: some sara cycle at once. Destroy the thoughts as soon
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: as they arrive. The root will dry up through the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: annihilation of thoughts, and the tree of some sorrow cycle
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: will wither soon. This demands considerable patience and perseverance. You
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: will be bathed in the ocean of bliss when all
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: thoughts are extirpated. This state is indescribable. You will have
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to feel it yourself. Just as the fire is absorbed
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: into its source when the fuel is burnt out, so
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: also the mind is absorbed into its source, the yatman.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: When all intentions or thoughts are annihilated, then one attains
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: absolute liberation, the experience of the timeless reality, the state
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of absolute independence. Chapter two. Thought power, its laws, and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: its dynamics. Thought the architect of destiny. If the mind
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: dwells continually upon one train of thought, a groove is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: formed into which the thought force runs automatically. And such
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a habit of thought survives death, and, since it belongs
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: to the ego, is carried over to the subsequent earth
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: life as a thought, tendency, and capacity. Every thought, it
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: must be remembered, has got its own mental image. The
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: essence of the various mental images formed in one particular
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: physical life is being worked out in the mental plane.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It constitutes the basis for the next physical life. Just
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: as a new physical body is formed in every berth,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: so also a new mind and a new body are
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: formed in every birth. Not easy is the act of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: explaining the detailed workings of thought and destiny. Every karma
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: produces twofold effect, one on the individual mind and the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: other on the world. Man makes the circumstances of his
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: future life by the effect of his actions upon others.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Every action has a past which leads up to it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Every action has a future which proceeds from it. An
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: action implies a desire which prompted it, and a thought
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: which shaped it. Each thought is a link in an
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: endless chain of causes and effects, each effect becoming a cause,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: and each cause having been an effect. And each link
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in the endless chain is welded out of three components, desire, thought,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and activity. A desire stimulates a thought. A thought embodies
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: itself as an act. Act constitutes the web of destiny.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Selfish coveting of the possessions of others, though never carried
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: out into active cheating in the present, makes one a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: thief in a later earth life. While hatred and revenge
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: secretly cherished are the seeds from which the murderer springs.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So again, unselfish loving yields as harvests the philanthropist and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the saint, and every thought of compassion helps to build
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the tender and pitiful nature which belongs to one who
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: is a friend to all creatures. Sage Vasishtat asks Rama
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to do puroshartha the four goals of a human life, wealth, pleasure, righteousness, liberation,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: or show the prowess of self exertion. Do not yield
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to fatalism. It will induce inertia and laziness. Recognize the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: great powers of thought. Exert by right thinking, make for
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: yourself a great destiny. Parabda is Purushartha of last birth.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: You sow an action and reap a habit. A habit's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: sown results in character. You sow a character and reap
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a destiny. Man is the master of his own destiny.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: You yourself make, by the power of your thought, your destiny.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: You can undo it if you like. All faculties, energies,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and powers are latent in you, unfold them and become
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: free and great. Thoughts chisel your countenance. Your face is
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: like a gramophone record or plait. Whatever you think is
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: at once written on your face. Every vicious thought serves
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: as a chisel or needle to write down the thoughts
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: on your countenance. Your faces are covered with the scars
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and wounds which are made by the vicious thoughts of hatred, anger, lust,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: jealous revenge, et cetera. From the nature of the scar
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: on your face, we can at once read your state
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: of mind. We can at once diagnose the disease of
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: your mind. He who thinks that he can hide his
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: thoughts is a dunce of the first water. His position
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: is like that of the ostrich, which, when chased by
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the hunters, hides its head underneath the sand and imagines
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that it cannot be seen by anyone. Face is the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: index of the mind. Face is the mold of the mind.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Every thought cuts a groove in the face. A divine
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: thought brightens the face, an evil thought darkens the face.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Continued divine thoughts increase the aura or halo. Continued evil
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: thoughts increase the depth of dark impressions, just as the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: continued striking of a vessel against the edge of a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: well while drawing water makes deeper and deeper hollow on
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the vessel. The facial expression truly advertises the inner state
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of the mind or the true contents of them. The
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: face is like an advertisement board, wherein is advertised what
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is going inside the mind. Your thoughts, sentiments, modes, and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: emotions produce their strong impressions on the face. In your face,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you can hardly hide your thoughts. You may wrongly think
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that you have kept up your thoughts in secret. The
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: thoughts of lust, greed, jealousy, anger, revenge, hatred, et cetera,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: at once produce their deep impressions on your face. The
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: face is a faithful recorder and a sensitive registering apparatus
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to register and record all the thoughts that are in
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: your mind. The face is a polished mirror to indicate
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the nature of the mind and its contents at a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: particular time. Thoughts feature the physical expressions. Mind is the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: subtle form of this physical body. The physical body is
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the outward manifestation of the thoughts. So when the mind
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: is wrought, the body is wrought too. As a man
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: of rough appearance generally cannot invoke love and mercy of others,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: so a rough minded man cannot invoke love and mercy
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of anybody. Mind very conspicuously reflects on the face its
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: various states which a man of intelligence can very easily read.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: The body follows the mind. If the mind thinks of
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: falling from a height, the body prepares itself immediately and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: shows external signs fear, anxiety, grief, cheerfulness, hilarity, anger, all
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: produce their various impressions on the face. Your eyes betray
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. The eyes, which represent the windows of the soul,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: bespeak of the condition and state of the mind. There
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: is a telegraphic instrument in the eyes to transmit the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: messages or thoughts of treachery, depression, gloom, hatred, cheerfulness, peace, harmony, health, power, strength,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and beauty. If you have the faculty to read the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: eyes of others, you can read the mind at once.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You can read the uppermost thought where dominant thought of
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: a man, if you are careful to mark the signs
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: in his face, conversation, and behavior. It needs a little pluck, acumen, training, intelligence,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and experience. Negative thoughts poison life. Thoughts of worry and
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: thoughts of fear are fearful forces within us. They poison
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the very sources of life and destroy the harmony, the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: running efficiency, the vitality, and vigor, while the opposite thoughts
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of cheerfulness, joy and courage heal, soothe instead of irritating,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and immensely augment efficiency. In multiply, the mental powers be
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: always cheerful, smile, laugh. Psychophysical imbalances. Thought exerts its influence
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: over the body. Grief in the mind weakens the body.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Body influences the mind. Also in its turn, a healthy
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: body makes the mind healthy. If the body is sick,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the mind also becomes sick. If the body is strong
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and healthy, the mind also becomes healthy and strong. Violent
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: fits of hot temper do serious damage to the brain.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Cells throw poisonous chemical products into the blood, produce general
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: shock and depression, and suppress the secretion of gastric juice.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Bile and other digestive juices in the alimentary canal drain
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: away your energy vitality, induce premature old age, and shorten life.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: When you are angry, the mind becomes disturbed. Similarly, when
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: the mind is disturbed, the body also becomes disturbed. The
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: whole nervous system is agitated. You become enervated. Control anger
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: by love. Anger is a powerful energy that is uncontrollable
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: by practical via a haaric boody, but controllable by pure
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: reason or vivicavicra. The discrimination between real and unreal the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: creative powers of thought. Thought creates the world. Thought brings
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: things into existence. Thoughts develop the desires and excite the passions.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: So the contrary thoughts of killing the desires and passions
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: will counteract the former idea of satisfying the desires. So
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: when a person is impressed with this, a contrary thought
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: will help him to destroy his desires and passions. Think
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of a person as a good friend of yours, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: there the thing is created as a reality. Think of
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: him as your foe. Then, also the mind perfects the
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: thought into an actuality. He who knows the workings of
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the mind and has controlled it by practice is really happy.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Similar thoughts attract each other in the thought world. Also,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the great law like attracts like operates. People of similar
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: thoughts are attracted towards each other. That is the reason
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: why the maxims run as follows, birds of the same
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: feather flock together. A man is known by the color
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: company he keeps. A doctor is drawn towards a doctor.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: A poet has attraction for another poet. A songster loves
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: another songster. A philosopher likes another philosopher. A vagabond likes
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a vagabond. The mind has got a drawing power. You
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: are continually attracting towards you from both the scene and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the unseen sides of life forces thoughts, influences, and conditions
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: most akin to those of your own thoughts, and lines.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: In the realm of thought, people of similar thoughts are
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: attracted to one another. This universal law is continually operating,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: whether we are conscious of it or not. Carry any
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: kind of thought you please about with you, and so
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: long as you retain it, no matter how you roam
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: over the land or see, you will unceasingly attract to yourself,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: knowingly or inadvertently, exactly and only what corresponds to your
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: own dominant quality of thought. Thoughts are your private property,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: and you can regulate them to suit your taste entirely
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: by steadily recognizing your ability to do so. You have
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: entirely in your own hands to determine the order of
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: thought you entertain, and consequently the order of influence you attract.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And are not mere willowy creatures of circumstances, unless indeed,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: you choose to be Spanish flu and the contagion of thoughts.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Mental actions are real actions. Thought is the real action.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It is a dynamic force. It may be remembered. Thought
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: is very contagious, nay more contagious than the Spanish flu.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: A sympathetic thought in you raises a sympathetic thought in
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: others with whom you come in contact. A thought of
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: anger produces a similar vibration in those who surround an
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: angry man. It leaves the brain of one man and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: enters the brains of others who live at a long distance,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and excites them. A cheerful thought in you produces cheerful
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: thoughts in others. You are filled with joy and intense
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: delight when you see a batch of hilarious children playing
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: mirthfully and dancing in joy. A thought of joy in
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: us creates, sympathetically a thought of joy in others. So
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: do sublime elevating thoughts. Keep a good and honest man
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: in the company of a thief he will begin to steal.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Keep a sober man in the company of a drunkard,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: he will begin to drink. Thought is very contagious the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: application of a psychological law. Keep the heart young. Do
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: not think I have become old. To think I have
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: become old is a bad habit. Do not entertain this
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: thought at sixty. Think I am sixteen. As you think,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: so you become. This is a great psychological law. As
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: a man thinks, so he becometh This is a great
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: truth or truism. Think I am strong strong, you become
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: think I am weak. Weak. You bed come. Think I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: am a fool. Fool you become. Think I am a
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: sage or God. Sage or God. You become. Thought alone
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: shapes and molds a man. Man lives always in a
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: world of thoughts. Every man has his own thought world,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: imagination works wonders. Thought has tremendous force. Thought, as already said,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: is a solid thing. Your present is the result of
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: your past thoughts, and your future will be according to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: your present thoughts. If you think rightly, you will speak
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: rightly and act rightly. Speech and action simply follow the thoughts.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Understand the laws of thought. Every man should have a
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: comprehensive understanding of the laws of thought and their operations.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Then alone can one live in this world smoothly and happily.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: He can utilize the helping forces to serve his ends
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in the best possible manner. He can neutralize the hostile
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: forces or antagonistic currents. Just as the fish swims against
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the current, so also he will be able to go
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: against the hostile currents by adjusting himself properly and safeguarding
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: through suitable precautionary methods. Otherwise he becomes a slave. He
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: is tossed about hither and thither helplessly by various currents.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: He is drifted like a wooden plank in a river.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: He is very miserable and unhappy always, although he is
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: wealthy and possesses everything. The captain of a steamer who
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: has mariner's compass, who has knowledge of the sea, the routes,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: and the oceanic currents, can sail smoothly. Otherwise his steamer
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: will be drifted here and there helplessly and wrecked by
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: dashing against some icebergs or rocks. Likewise, a wise sailor
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: in the ocean of this life, who has a detailed
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the laws of thought and nature can sail
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: smoothly and reach the goal of his life positively. Understanding
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the laws of thought, you can mold or shape your
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: character in any way you like. The common saying, as
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: a man thinks, so he becometh is one of the
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: great laws of thought. Think you are pure, pure, you
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: will become. Think you are noble. Noble you will become
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: become an embodiment of good nature. Think good of all,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: do always good actions, serve love, give, make others happy.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Live to serve others. Then you will reap happiness. You
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: will get favorable circumstances or opportunities and environments. If you
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: hurt others, if you do scandal mongering, mischief mongering, backbiting,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: tail bearing, if you exploit others, if you acquire the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: property of others by foul means, if you do any
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: action that can give pain to others, you will reap pain.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: You will get unfavorable circumstances or opportunities and environments. This
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: is the law of thought and nature. Just as you
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: can build your good or bad character by sol BlimE,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: or base thinking, so also you can shape your favorable
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: or unfavorable circumstances by doing good or bad actions. A
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: man of discrimination is always careful, vigilant, and circumspect. He
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: always watches carefully his thoughts. He introspects. He knows what
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: is going on in his mental factory, what mental fluctuation
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: or thought wave is prevailing at a particular time. He
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: never allows any evil thought to enter the gates of
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: his mental factory. He at once nips them in the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: bud by his good thinking. By watching the nature of
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: his thoughts, by introspection, by active noble thinking, the man
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: of discrimination builds his noble character, forms his high destiny.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: He is careful in his speeches. He speaks little. He
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: speaks sweet, loving words. He never utters any kind of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: harsh words that can affect the feelings of others. He
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: develops patience, mercy, and universal love. He tries to speak truth.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Thus he puts a check on the vacandreya and the
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: impulses of speech. He uses measured words, he writes measured lines.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: This produces deeply profound and favorable impression on the minds
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: of the people. He practices non violence and brahmacharias celibacy
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: in thought, word and deed. He practices purity and straightforwardness.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: He tries to keep up balance of mind and to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: be always cheerful. He keeps up sidababah, the pure state.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: He tries these three kinds of tapas physical, verbal, and mental,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and controls his actions. He cannot think any evil, he
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: cannot do any evil action. He prepares himself to get
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: always favorable circumstances. He who spreads happiness will always get
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: such favorable circumstances as can bring him happiness. He who
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: spreads pain to others will doubtless get ours. According to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the law of thought, such unfavorable circumstances as can bring
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: him misery in pain. Therefore, man creates his own character
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and circumstances by the manner of his own thinking. Bad
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: character can be transmuted into good one by good thoughts,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and unfavorable circumstances can be changed into favorable circumstances by
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: doing good actions. The laws implied in higher thoughts. As
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you think, so you become. As are your thoughts, so
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: must be your life. Improve your thinking. Better thoughts bring
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: better actions. Mere thinking of the objects of this world
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: is pain. Bondage is caused by the very act of thought.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Pure thought is a mightier force than electricity. The mind
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: which is attracted by objects of sense tends to bondage,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: while that which is not so attracted tends to emancipation.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Mind is a dacoit. Slay this mind, dacoit, you will
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: be hap and free forever. Manifest all your strength in
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the task of conquering your mind. This is true manliness.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Self denial is a means to the purification and refinement
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: of mind. Purify and still the thoughts. The layers of
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: ignorance covering knowledge will not be removed without a calm mind.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: The subtle part of food forms the mind. Mind is
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: manufactured out of food. The subtle part of food is
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: transformed into mind. Food does not mean merely what we eat,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: but what we gather through all our senses. Learn to
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: see God everywhere. This is real food for the eye.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Purity of thought depends upon purity of food. You can
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: see better, hear better, taste better, think better when you
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: entertain sublime divine thoughts. Look at an object through a
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: green or red glass. The object appears green or red.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Even so, the objects are color by the desires through
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the mirror mind. All mental states are transitory. They produce
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: pain and sorrow, have freedom of thought. Free yourself from
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: the slavery of prejudice that blunts intellect and dulls thoughts.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Think of the immortal oughtman real self. This is the
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: right method of direct original thinking. The Otman reveals itself
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: after the purification of thoughts. When the mind is serene,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: without any want, without any motive, without any craving or desire,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: or thought, without any compulsion, without hope, then the supreme
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Ottman shines. There is the experience of bliss lie, the
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: way in which saints live. This is the only way
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: to victory over thoughts, mind and the lower self. And
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: until you have conquered mind, there can be no sure
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: and permanent victory. Thought a boomerang. Be careful of your thoughts.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Whatever you send out of your mind comes back to you.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Every thought you think is a boomerang. If you hate another,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: hate will come back to you. If you love others,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: love will come back to you. An evil thought is
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: thrice cursed. First, it harms the thinker by doing injury
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: to his mental body. Secondly, it harms the person who
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: is its object. Lastly, it harms all mankind by vitiating
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: the whole mental atmosphere. Every evil thought is as a
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: sword drawn on the person to whom it is directed.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: If you entertain thoughts of hatred, you are really a
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: murderer of that man against whom you foster thoughts of hatred.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: You are your own suicide, because these thoughts were bound
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: upon you. Only. A mind tenanted by evil thoughts acts
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: as a magnet to attract like thoughts from others, and
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: thus intensifies the original evil. Evil thoughts thrown into the
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: mental atmosphere poison receptive minds. To dwell on an evil
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: thought gradually deprives it of its repulsiveness and in compels
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the thinker to perform an action which embodies it. Thoughts
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and the waves of the sea thoughts are like the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: waves of an ocean. They are countless. You may become
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: desperate in the beginning of your attempt to conquer them.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Some thoughts will subside, while some other thoughts will gush
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: out like a stream. The same old thoughts that were
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: once suppressed may again show their faces after some time.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Never become despondent. At any stage of practice. You will
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: surely get inner spiritual strength. You are bound to succeed
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: in the end. All the yogins of your hat to
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: encounter the same difficulties that you are experiencing now. The
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: process of destruction of mental modifications is difficult and long.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: All thoughts cannot be destroyed in a day or two.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: You should not give up the practice of destroying the
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: thoughts in the middle. When you come across some difficulties
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: or stumbling blocks, your first attempt should be to reduce
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: your wants desires. Reduce your wants and desires, then the
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: thoughts will decrease by themselves. Gradually, all thoughts will be
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: extirpated color and influence of saintly thoughts. The Buddha declared
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: all that we are is made up of our thoughts.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: It is our thoughts that cause the round of births,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: so we should always strive to purify our thoughts. When
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: we go and sit near a sage, we feel a
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: unique calmness. But if we are in the company of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: a bad and selfish person we feel uneasy. It is
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: because the vibrations of peace and calmness emanate from the
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: aura of the sage, whereas from the aura of the
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: selfish person emanate vibrations of evil and selfish thoughts. The
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: second effect of thought is the creation of a definite form.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: The quality and the nature of a thought determine the
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: color and the clearness of that thought form. A thought
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: form is a living entity, and it has a strong
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: tendency to carry out the intention of the thinker. Blue
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: thought forms denote devotion. The thought form of self renunciation
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: is of the loveliest pale azure, with a white light
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: shining through it. Thought forms of selfishness, pride, and anger
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: are of gray, brown, orange, and red color, respectively. We
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: are always surrounded by these thought forms, and our minds
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: are seriously affected by them. Not one fourth of our
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: thoughts are our own, but are simply picked up from
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the atmosphere. Mostly they are of evil nature, so we
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: should always utter God's name mentally. It will always protect
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: us from their evil influence. Aura and dynamics of a
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: developed mind, particularly around minds of highly developed thought power,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: we sense the manifest phenomenon of a powerful aura. The
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: palpable influence of a highly developed mind over a less
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: developed mind needs to be specially marked. It is not
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: possible to provide a description of what it is like
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: to be in the presence of a master or a
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: developed adept, to sit in his presence, though he hardly
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: speaks a word, is to feel a thrilling sensation and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: discover the impacts of new inspirations that it wields on
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: our minds. Mind carries aura, mental aura, or psychic aura.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: The Sanskrit term for aura is tageous. It is brilliance
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: or halo that emanates from the phenomenon of mind. In
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: those who have sought the full development of their minds,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: we find it extremely effulgent. It is capacitated to travel
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: long distances and effect in the most beneficial manner a
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: large number of persons who are privileged to come under
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: its influence. It must be noted that the spiritual aura
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: is far more powerful than either psychic or pranic or
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: mental aura. Dynamics of thoughts and moods. People of gloomy
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: moods attract to themselves gloomy things and gloomy thoughts from
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: others and from the acacic records in the physical ether.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Persons with hope, confidence, and cheerful spirits attract thoughts of
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: similar nature from others. They are always successful in their attempts.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: People with negative moods of depression, anger, and hatred do
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: positive injury to others. They infect others and raise these
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: destructive mental fluctuations in others. They are culpable. They do
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: great damage. In the thought world. People with happy and
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: cheerful moods are a blessing to society. They bring happiness
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: to others. Just as a young beautiful lady covers her
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: face and does not like to come out to mix
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: with others in society when she has a nasty, festering
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: sore on her cheeks or nose. Also, you should not
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: come in public and mix with your friends and other
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: people when you have a mood of depression, a mood
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: of hatred or jealousy, for you will infect others with
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: these moods. You will be a menace to the society.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Thought dynamics In universal environs, thought actually leaves the brain
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: and hovers about. When a thought, whether good or evil,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: leaves the mind of a person, it gives rise to
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: vibrations in the monas or mental atmosphere, which travel far
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: and wide in all directions. It enters the brains of others. Also,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: a sage living in a Himalayan cave transmits a powerful
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: thought to a corner of America. He who tries to
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: purify himself in a cave, really purifies the world, helps
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the world at large. Nobody can prevent his pure thoughts
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: coming out and passing on to those others that really
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: want them. Just as the sun goes on continuously converting
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: into vapor every drop of water that is on the
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: surface of the earth, and just as all the vapor
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: thus rising up gathers together in the form of clouds,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: all the thoughts that you project from your own lonely
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: corner will mount up and be wafted across space, join
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: similar thoughts projected by those who are like you, and
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: in the end, all these holy thoughts will come down
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: with tremendous force to subjugate undesirable forces. Chapter three. Value
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: and uses of thought power serve others by thought vibrations.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: A true monk or sinyasin can do everything through his
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: thought vibrations. A sinyasin or yogi need not become the
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: president of an association or the leader of a social
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: or political movement. It is a foolish and puerile idea.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Indians have now imbibed the missionary spirit of the West
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: and cry out that sinyasin should come out and take
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: part in social and political activities. It is a sad mistake.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: It is not necessary that a sinyasin, a saint should
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: appear on the platform to help the world, to preach
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: and elevate the minds of people. Some saints preach by example.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Their very lives are an embodiment of teaching. Their very
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: sight elevates the minds of thousands. A saint is a
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: living assurance for others. For God realization. Many draw inspiration
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: from the site of holy saints. No one can check
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: the thing thought vibrations from the saints. They are pure,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: strong thought vibrations travel a very long distance, purify the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: world and enter the minds of many thousands of persons.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: There is no doubt in this. Doctors can heal by suggestion.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Doctors should have a thorough knowledge of the science of suggestion,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: sincere sympathetic doctors are very rare. Doctors who have no
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: knowledge of suggestion do more harm than good. They kill patients,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes by unnecessarily frightening them. If there is a little
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: cough of an ordinary nature, the doctor says, now, my friend,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: you have got t b. You must go to Bowali
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: or Switzerland or Vienna. You must go in for a
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: course of tuberculin injection. Poor patient is frightened. There is
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: not at all any sign of consumption. The case is
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: an ordinary one. It is simple catarrh of the chest
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: from exposure to chills. The patient actually develops thysis by
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: fright and worry, owing to the wrong destructive suggestion of
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the doctor. The doctor ought to have told him, Oh,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: it is nothing, It is simple cold. You will be
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: all right by tomorrow. Take a purgative and inhale a
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: little oil of eucalyptus. Adjust your diet. It is better
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: you fast to day. Such doctor is God himself. He
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: must be adored. A doctor may say, now, well sir.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: If I say so, I will lose my practice. I
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: cannot pull on in this world. This is a mistake.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Truth always gains victory. People will run to you. As
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: you are sympathetic and kind. You will have a roaring practice.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: There is healing by suggestion. This is a drugless treatment.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: This is suggestive therapeutics. By good and powerful suggestion, you
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: can cure any disease. You will have to learn this
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: science and practice it. All doctors of homeopathic, allopathic, Aervetican
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: and Nani systems should know this science. They can combine
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: this system along with their own systems, they will have
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: a roaring practice by this happy combination. Yogans preach by
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: thought transference through their spiritual vibrations and magnetic aura. The
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: unknown real yogans help the world more than the Yogans
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: of the platform. Preaching from the pulpits and platforms belongs
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: to men of second grade spirituality who have no knowledge
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: and never put to use the supernormal faculties and powers
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: latent in them. Great adepts and mahatmas transmit their message
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: through telepathy to deserving aspirants in different corners of the world.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Means of communication that are supernormal to us are quite
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: normal to a Yogi. Influence others by thought. You can
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: influence another man without any audible language. What is wanted
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: is concentration of thought that is directed by the will.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: This is telepathy. Here is an exercise for your practice
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: in telepathy. Think of your friend or cousin who is
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: living in a distant land. Bring a clear cut image
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: of his face to your mind. If you have his photo,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: look at it and speak to it audibly. When you
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: retire to bed, think of the picture with intense concentration.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: He will write to you the desired letter the following
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: day or so. Try this yourself. Do not doubt you
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: will be quite surprised. You will get success and firm conviction.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: In the science of telepathy, Sometimes when you are writing
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: something or reading a newspaper, suddenly you get a message
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: from some one near and dear to you. You think
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: of him. Suddenly he has sent a message to you.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: He has thought of you seriously. Thought vibrations travel faster
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: than light or electricity. In such instances, the subconscious mind
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: receives the messages or impressions and transmits the same to
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the conscious mind. Varied utility of thought power. The science
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: of thought power is very interesting and subtle. This thought
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: world is more real relatively than this physical universe. The
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: power of thought is very great. Every thought of yours
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: has a literal value to you in every possible way.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: The strength of your body, the strength of your mind,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: your success in life, and the pleasures you give to
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: others by your company all depend on the nature and
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: quality of your thoughts. You must know thought culture and
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: develop thought power. Powers of thought their value. If you
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: have a comprehensive understanding of the workings of the thought
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: vibrations if you know the technique of controlling the thoughts,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: If you know the method of transmitting beneficial thoughts to
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: others at a distance. By forming clear cut, well defined,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: powerful thought waves, you can use this thought power a
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: thousandfold more effectively. Thought works wonders. A wrong thought, binds
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: a right thought liberates. Therefore, think rightly and attain freedom.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Unfold the occult powers hidden within you. By understanding and
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: realizing the powers of the mind. Close your eyes, slowly concentrate.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: You can see distant objects here, distant sounds, send messages
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: to any part not only of this world, but of
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: the other planets as well. He'll persons thousands of miles
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: off from you and move about to distant places in
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: no time. Believe in the powers of the mind. Interest, attention, will, faith,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: and concentration will bring the desired fruit. Remember that mind
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: is born of the otman. Through his maya or illusory power,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: thoughts accomplish many a mission. You can aid a friend
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: in trouble by transmitting to him thoughts of comfort right
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: from the place where you are. You can help a
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: friend in search of truth by thought clear and definite
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: of the truths you know, you can send into the
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: mental atmosphere thoughts which will raise, purify, and inspire all
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: who are sensible to them. If you send out a loving,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: helpful thought to another man, it leads your brain, goes
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: directly to that man, raises a similar thought of love
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: in his mind, and returns back to you with redoubled force.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: If you send out a thought of hatred to another man,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: it hurts that man and hurts you also by turning
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: back to you with redoubled force. Therefore, understand the laws
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: of thought. Raise only thoughts of mercy, love, and kindness
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: from your mind, and be happy always. When you send
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: out a useful thought to help others, it must have
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: a definite positive purpose and aim. Then only it will
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: bring out the desired effect. Then only that thought will
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: accomplish a definite work power of thoughts that prompt. Gain
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: a clear understanding of suggestions and their effects upon the mind.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: You should be careful in the use of suggestions. Never
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: give wrong suggestion which will have destructive results to anybody.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: You will be doing a great harm and a disservice
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: to him. Think well before you speak. Teachers and professors
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: should have a thorough knowledge of the science of suggestion
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: and auto suggestion. They can educate and elevate students in
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: an efficient manner. In southern India, when children cry out
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: in house's, parents frighten them by saying, look here, Balu,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: I render cannon. The two eyed man has come. Keep quiet,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: or I will hand you over to this man. Puchandy
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: or ghost has come. And suggestions of this sort are
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: very destructive. The child becomes timid. The minds of children
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: are elastic, tender, and pliable. Sam Scare's mental impressions are
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: indelibly impressed at this age. Changing or obliterating the mental
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: impressions becomes impossible when they grow. When the child grows
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: into a man, he manifests timidity. Parents should infuse courage
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: into the minds of their children. They should say, here
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: is a lion. See the lion in this picture, roar
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: like a lion. Be courageous, see the picture of Shivaji
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: ar Juna or Clive. Become chivalrous. In the West, teachers
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: show the pictures of battle fields to children and say,
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: look here, James, see this picture of Napoleon. Look at
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: his chivalry. Won't you like to become a commander in
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: chief of the army or a brigadier general. They infuse
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: courage into the minds of children from their very childhood.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: When they grow, these mental impressions get strengthened by additional
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: external stimuli. Practice thought transference, practice telepathy in the beginning
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: from a short distance. It is better to practice at night.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: To start with, ask your friend to have the receptive
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: attitude and concentration at ten o'clock. Ask him to sit
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: on vachressanna or padmesana with closed eyes in a dark room.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Try to send your message exactly at the appointed time.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Concentrate on the thoughts that you want to send. Will strongly.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Now the thoughts will leave your brain and enter the
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: brain of your friend. There may be some mistakes in
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: the beginning here and there. When you advance and practice
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: and know the technique well, you will always be correct
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: in sending and receiving messages. Later on you will be
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: able to forward messages to different corners of the world.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Thought waves vary in intensity and force. The sender and
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: receiver should practice great and intense concentration. Then there will
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: be force in sending the messages, clarity and accuracy in
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: receiving the messages. Practice in the beginning telepathy from one
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: room to the next room in the same house. This
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: science is very pleasant and interesting. It needs patient practice.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Brahmacharias celibacy is very essential parapsychology and subconscious thoughts. Even
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: as the sacred Goangda takes its origin in Gangotri Himalayas
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: and runs perennially towards Gongda Sagar, the thought currents take
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: their origin from the bed of sam Scarra's mental impressions
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: in the inner layers of the mind, wherein are embedded
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: the visaunas or latent subtle desires and flow incessantly towards
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: the objects, both in waking state and in dreaming state.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Even a railway engine is sent to the engine shed
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: for rest when its wheels become over hot, But this
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: mysterious engine of mind goes on thinking without a moment's rest.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Practice of telepathy, thought reading, hypnotism, mesmerism, and psychic healing
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: clearly proves that the mind exists and that a higher
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: mind can influence and subjugate the lower mind. From the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: automatic writing and the experiences of a hypnotized person, we
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: can clearly infer the existence of the subconscious mind, which
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: operates throughout the twenty four hours through spiritual practice, change
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: the subconscious thoughts and mind and become a new being.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Power of vigorous divine thoughts. Thought is life what you
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: think that you are. Your thought creates your environment. Your
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: thoughts constitute your world. If you entertain healthy thoughts, you
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: can keep good health. If you hold on to sickly
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts in the mind, thoughts of diseased tissues, thoughts of
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: weak nerves, thoughts of improper functioning of organs of viscera,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: you can never expect good health, beauty, and harmony. Remember
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: that body is a product of the mind and is
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: under the control of mind. If you hold on to
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: vigorous thoughts, your body too will be vigorous. Thoughts of love, peace, contentment, purity, perfection,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: divinity will make you and also others around you perfect
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: and divine. Cultivate divine thoughts. Chapter four, The functions of
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: thought power thoughts promote radiant health. The body is internally
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: associated with the mind. Rather, the body is a counterpart
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: of the mind. It is a gross, visible form of
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the subtle, invisible mind. If there is pain in the tooth,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: or in the stomach, or in the ear, the mind
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: is at once affected, it ceases to think properly. It
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: is agitated, disturbed, and perturbed. If there is depression in
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: the mind, the body also cannot function properly. The pains
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: which afflict the body are called the secondary diseases viety,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: while the mental impressions or desires that afflict the mind
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: are termed mental or primary diseases Addie. Mental health is
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: more important than physical health. If the mind is healthy,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: the body will necessarily be healthy. If the mind is pure,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: if your thoughts are pure, you will be free from
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: all Disease is primary and secondary. Men sanat incorporisano a
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: sound mind in a sound body, Thoughts develop personality. A
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: sublime thought elevates the mind and expands the heart. A
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: base thought excites the mind and renders the feelings morbid
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: and dark. Those who have even a little control over
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: their thoughts and speech will have a calm, serene, beautiful,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: charming face, a sweet voice, and their eyes will turn
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: brilliant and lustrous. Thoughts affect the body. Every thought or
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: emotion or word produces a strong vibration in every cell
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: of the body and leaves a strong impression there. If
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: you know the method of raising an opposite thought, then
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: you can lead a happy, harmonious life of peace and power.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Thought of love will at once neutralize a thought of hatred.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: A thought of courage will immediately serve as a powerful
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: antidote against a thought of fear. Thought power changes destiny.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Man shows a thought and re deeps an action. He
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: sows an action and reaps a habit. He sows a
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: habit and reaps a character. He sows a character and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: reaps a destiny. Man has made his own destiny. By
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: his own thinking and acting, he can change his destiny.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: He is the master of his own destiny. There is
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: no doubt of this. By right thinking and strong exertion,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: he can become the master of his destiny. Some ignorant
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: people say karma does everything. It is all destiny. If
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: I am destined by my karma to be like this
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: or that, why then should I exert It is my
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: destiny only. This is fatalism. This will bring inertia, stagnation,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: and misery. This is perfect misunderstanding of the laws of karma.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: This is a fallacious argument. An intelligent man will certainly
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: not put such a question. You have made your own
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: destiny from within, by your thoughts and actions. You have
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: a free will to choose. Now you have got independence
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: in action. A rogue is not an eternal rogue for
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: all times. Put him in the company of a saint.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: He will change in no time. He will think and
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: act now in a different way, and will change his destiny.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: He will become saintly in character. The koit Rutknaker was
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: changed into sage. Vaumiki, Jagai and Madai were transformed. They
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: were rogues of the first waters. You can become a
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: yogi or itch nanny. Wise. You can make your destiny.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: You can make your karma in any way you like.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Use the power of thought. Think rightly, think nobly. You
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: will have only to think and to act. By right thinking,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: by right desiring, by right acting, you can become a
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: sage a millionaire. You can attain the position of Indra
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: or Brahma by good thought and act by good karma.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Man is not a helpless being. He has a free
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: will of his own. Thoughts cause physiological disorders. Every change
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: in thought makes a vibration in your mental body, and this,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: when transmitted to the physical body, causes activity in the
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: nervous matter of your brain. This activity in the nervous
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: cells causes many electrical and chemical changes in them. It
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: is thought activity which causes these changes. Intense passion, hatred,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: long standing, bitter jealousy, corroding anxiety, fits of hot temper
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: actually destroy the cells of the body in induced diseases
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: of the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and stomach. It is
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: a point worthy to note with care that every cell
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: in the body suffers or grows receives a life impulse
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: or a death impulse from every thought that enters the mind.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: For you tend to grow into the image of that
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: which you think about most. When the mind is turned
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: to a particular thought and dwells on it, a definite
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: vibration of matter is set up, and often more of
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: this vibration is caused. The more does it tend to
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: repeat itself, to become a habit, to become automatic. The
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: body follows the mind and imitates its changes. If you
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: concentrate your thought, the eyes become fixed. Thought power creates environments.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: It is often said that man is the result of
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: his environmental forces. This is not true. We cannot believe
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: this because the facts always prove the contrary. Many of
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: the world's greatest men have been born in poverty and
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: in adverse circumstances. Many who have been born in the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: slums and filthy surroundings have risen to the highest status
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: in the world. They have won laurels of fame and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: distinguished themselves in politics, literature and poetry. They have become
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: brilliant geniuses and beacon lights of the world. How do
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: you account for this? Sree T Mutthaswamyayr, the first Indian
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: High Court judge in Madras, was born in absolute poverty.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: He had to study at night under municipal lanterns. He
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: had not sufficient food, He was clad in rags. He
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: struggled hard and achieved greatness. He rose above the environmental
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: forces by his strong will power and iron determination. In
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: the West, sons of cobblers and fishermen have risen to
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: very high position. Boys who did polishing of boots in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: the streets, and who were selling beer in bars and
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: were cooking in hotels have become famous poets and able journalists.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Johnson was placed in quite adverse environments. Goldsmith was passing
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: rich with forty pounds a year. Sir Walter Scott was
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: very poor. He had no place to live in The
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: life of James Ramsay mac donald is worth mentioning. He
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: was a man of great right exertion. He rose from
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: poverty to power, from the field of labor to the
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: status of Prime Minister of Britain. His first job was
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: addressing envelopes for ten shillings a week. He was too
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: poor to buy tea, so he drank water instead. His
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: main meal every day for months was a threepenny beefsteak pudding.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: He was a pupil teacher. He took great interest in
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: politics and science. He was a journalist. He gradually, through
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: right exertion, rose to the position of a prime minister.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Sri Sanchoricaria, the exponent of Advita philosophy, a spiritual giant
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: and a brilliant genius, was born in poor, unfavorable environments
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: and circumstances. There are thousand and one instances like these.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: It is quite obvious therefore, that unfavorable environments cannot annihilate
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: the potential greatness and excellence of the future geniuses, and
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: that one can outgrow environments by diligent application, patience, perseverance, truthfulness, honesty, integrity,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: sincerity of purpose, iron will and strong determination. Every man
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: is born with his Samscerra's mental impressions. The mind is
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: not a tabula rasa or a blank sheet of paper.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: It contains the impressions of thoughts and actions of the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: previous births. Sam Scerra's mental impressions are the latent potentialities.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: These good mental impressions are valuable assets for man, even
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: though he is placed in unfavorable environments. These mental impressions
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: give him protection from extraneous, undesirable, hostile influences. They help
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: his growth and evolution. Miss not any opportunity. Avail yourself
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: of all opportunities. Every opportunity is meant for your uplift
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: and development. If you see a sick man lying down
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: on the roadside in a helpless condition, take him on
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: your shoulders or vehicle to the nearest hospital. Nurse him,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: give him hot milk or tea or coffee. Shampoo his
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: legs with divine bova. Feel the all pervading, all permeating,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: interpenetrating and dwelling God in him. See Divinity in the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: glow in his eyes, in his cry, in his breath,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: in his pulsation and motion of his lungs. God has
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: given this opportunity for you to develop mercy and love,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: to purify your heart, and to remove gryna, hatred, and jealousy. Sometimes,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: if you are very timid, God will place you in
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: such circumstances wherein you will be forced to exhibit courage
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: and presence of mind by risking your life. These world
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: figures who have risen to eminence have utilized all opportunities
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: to the best advantage. God shapes the minds of human
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: beings by giving them opportunities. Remember that in your weakness
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: lies the strength, because you will be always on your
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: alert to safeguard yourself. Poverty has got its own virtues.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: Poverty infuses humility, strength, power of endurance, and luxury begets laziness, pride, weakness, inertia,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: and all sorts of evil habits. Do not grumble. Therefore,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: of bad environments, create your own mental world and environments.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: That man who tries to evolve or grow in adverse
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: environments will be a very strong man. Indeed, nothing can
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: shake him. He will be of a sterner stuff. He
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: will have strong nerves. Man is certainly not a creature
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: of environments or circumstances. He can control and modify them
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: by his capacities. Character, thoughts, good actions, and right exertion.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: An intense right exertion can change the destiny. That is
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: the reason why Vasishta and Bhishma have placed the right
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: exertion above destiny. Therefore, dear brothers, exert conquer nature, and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: rejoice in the eternal Satchidanata Atman or the true divine Self.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Thoughts form the physical body. The body, with its organs
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: is no other than the thought. The mind contemplating upon
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: the body becomes the body itself, and then enmeshed in it,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: is afflicted by it. This physical body is the mold,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: as it were, made by the mind for its own enjoyment,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: for its outpouring of energy, and thereby gaining different experiences
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: of this world through the five avenues or channels of knowledge,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: the five jnana andreas organs of knowledge or perception. The
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: body is really our thoughts, moods, convictions, and emotions objectified
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: made visible to the naked eyes. All the bodies have
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: their seat in the mind. Only without water can a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: garden exist. It is the mind which transacts all business
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: and is the highest of bodies. Should this gross body
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: be dissolved, the mind will assume fresh bodies to its
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: liking very quickly. Should the mind be paralyzed, then the
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: body will not evince our intelligence. With the majority of mankind,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: the thought is greatly under the control of the body,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: being very little developed. They live in the physical body
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: mostly develop the the wisdom sheath, and through the wisdom
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: sheath control the mind. The erroneous thought that you are
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: the body is the root of all evils. Through wrong thinking,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: you identify yourself with the body. The false identification with
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: the body arises, you are attached to the body. This
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: is the ego. Then mind ness arises. You identify yourself
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: with your wife, children, house, et cetera. It is identification
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: or attachment that brings about bondage, misery, and pain. Chapter five.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: The development of thought power acquisition of thought power by
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: moral purity. A man who speaks the truth and has
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: moral purity has always powerful thoughts. One who has controlled
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: anger by long practice has tremendous thought power. If a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: yogi whose thought is very powerful speaks one word, it
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: will produce use tremendous impression on the minds of others.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Virtues like truthfulness, earnestness, and industry are the best sources
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: of mental power. Purity leads to wisdom and immortality. Purity
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: is of two kinds, internal or mental and external or physical.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: Mental purity is more important. Physical purity is also needed
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: with the establishment of internal mental purity. Cheerfulness of mind
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: one pointed mind, conquest of the senses, and fitness for
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: the realization of the self are obtained thought power by concentration.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: There is no limit to the power of human thought.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: The more concentrated the human mind is, the more power
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: is brought to bear on one point. The rays of
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: the mind are scattered. In the case of the worldly
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: minded persons, there is dissipation of mental energy in various directions.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: For purposes of concentration, these scattered rays have to be
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: gathered by the practice of concentration, and then the mind
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: must be made to turn towards God. Cultivate attention. You
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: will have good concentration. A serene mind is fit for concentration.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Keep the mind serene, be cheerful always. Then alone can
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: you concentrate. Be regular in your concentration, Sit in the
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: same place at the same time. Four A m celibacy,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: prinime of breathing, reduction of wants and activities, dispassion, silence, seclusion,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: discipline of the senses, repetition of sacred mantras, control of anger,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: giving up reading novels, newspapers, and visiting cinemas are all
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: aids to concentration. Too much physical exertion, too much, talking,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: too much, eating too much, mixing with worldly persons too much, walking,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: too much sexual indulgence are obstacles to concentration. Thought power
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: by organized thinking, destroy random thinking. Take a subject and
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: think of its different aspects and bearing. When you think
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: so on one subject, never allow any other thought to
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: enter the conscious mind. Withdraw the mind again to the
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: subject on hand. Take, for instance, you begin to think
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: on the life and teachings of Jagatguru Addi Sanchoricaria. Think
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: of his birthplace, his early life, his character, his personality,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: his virtues, his teachings, his writings, his philosophy, some of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the important utterings of his works or slocus, the city's
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: supernatural powers that he exhibited from time to time, his victory,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: his four disciples, his four mutts, his commentary on the Gidah,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: the Upanishads, and the Brahma Sutras. Think of these items
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: one by one in order exhaust them again and again.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Bring the mind to the point, then take up another subject.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: By this practice, you will develop organized thinking. The mental
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: image will gain intense strength and force. They will become
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: clear cut and well defined. In ordinary persons, the mental
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: images are distorted and undefined. Thought power by will power,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: every sensual thought rejected, every temptation resisted, every harsh word withheld,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: every noble aspiration encouraged, helps you to develop will power
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: or soul force, and takes you nearer and nearer to
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: the goal with strong feeling. Repeat mentally. My will is powerful,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: pure and irresistible. I can do everything through my will.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: I have an invincible will. Will is the dynamic soul force.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: When it operates all the mental powers such as the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: power of judgment, power of memory, power of grasping, power
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: of conversation, reasoning power, power of discrimination, power of reflection
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: and inference, All these come into instant play. Will is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: the king of mental powers. When rendered pure and irresistible,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: thought and will can work wonders. Will becomes impure and
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: weak through vulgar passions, love of pleasures and desires. The
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: lesser the number of desires, the stronger is the thought
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: power and the will. When sexual energy the muscular energy anger,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: et cetera, are transmuted into the will force they are controlled.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: There is nothing impossible on earth for a man of
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: strong will power. When you give up an old habit
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: of drinking coffee, you have controlled to a certain extent
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: the sense of taste, destroyed one viscana desire, and have
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: eliminated the craving for it. As there is freedom from
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: the efforts to procure coffee, and also from the habit
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: of taking it, you will gain some peace. The energy
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: involved in a hankering for coffee, and which was agitating you,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: will now be converted into the power of will. By
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: this conquest over one desire, you gain will power. And
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: if you conquer some fifteen such desires, your will power
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: will be fifteen times stronger and more power powerful. And
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: this conquest, by imparting strength to the will, will help
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: you conquer other desires too. Unruffled state of the mind, poise, cheerfulness,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: inner strength, capacity to turn out difficult works, success in
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: all undertakings, power to influence people. A magnetic and dynamic personality,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: magnetic aura on the face, sparkling eyes, steady gaze, powerful voice,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: magnanimous gait, unyielding nature, fearlessness, et cetera are some of
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: the signs or symptoms that indicate that one's will is growing.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: Simple prescriptions for clear thinking. The mental images of the
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: common man are generally very distorted. He does not know
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: what deep thinking is. His thoughts run riot. There is
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: a great deal of confusion in his mind. Sometimes it
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: is only thinkers, philosophers, and yogans who have well defined,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: clear cut mental images. They can be seen through clairvoyance
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: very vividly. Those who practice concentration meditation develop strong, well
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: formed mental images. Most of your thoughts are not well grounded.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: They come and slip away. They are therefore vague and indefinite.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: The images are not clear, strong and well defined. You
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: through vicorous discrimination between real and unreal rasciacination, deep reflection, meditation.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: You will have to make the thoughts settle down and
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: become firm. Through right thinking, reasoning, introspection, and meditation, you
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: will have to clarify your ideas. Then confusion will vanish,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: The thoughts will get settled and well grounded. Think clearly,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude, purify
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: your thoughts to a considerable degree silence. The thoughts don't
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought wave rise
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: and settle down calmly, then allow another thought to enter.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: the subject matter you are handling at the present moment.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Sodana's spiritual practice for deep and original thinking. Most of
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: us do not know what right thinking is. Thinking is
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: shallow in the vast majority of persons. Deep thinking is
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: given to few. Thinkers are very few in this world.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: Deep thinking needs intense Sodna spiritual practice. It takes innumerable
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: berths for the proper evolution of the mind. Then only
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: can it think deeply and properly. Independent and original thinking
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: is resorted to buy the vedantins. The Dantic spiritual practice
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: reflection demands a sharp intellect, hard thinking, persistent thinking, clear thinking,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: thinking to the roots of problems, to the very fundamentals
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: of the situation, to the very presuppositions of all thoughts
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: and being is the very essence of the Dantic spiritual practice.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: You will have to abandon an old idea, however strong
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: and ingrained, it may be when you get a new
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: elevating idea in its stead. If you have no courage
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: to face the results of your thinking, to swallow the
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: conclusions of your thinking, whatever they may mean to you personally,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: you should never take the trouble to philosophize. Take up
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: to devotion meditation for applied and sustain thinking. Being a
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: great force, thought carries tremendous power. It becomes a matter
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: of great moment to know how to use this power
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: in the highest possible way and to the greatest possible effect.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: This can best be done by the practice of meditation.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Applied thinking applies the mind to the object, and sustain
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: thinking keeps it continually engaged. Rapture brings about the expanding
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: and bliss of the developing mind, whose motives for non
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: distraction have been accomplished by those two kinds of thinking.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: Meditation can arise when applied and sustained thinking, rapture, bliss
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: and collectedness of mind arise acquire creative thought power. Thought
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: is a vital living force, the most vital, subtle, and
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: irresistible force that exists in the universe. Thoughts are living things.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: They move they possess form, shape, color, quality, substance, power,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: and weight. Thought is the real action. It reveals itself
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: as a dynamic force. A thought of joy creates sympathetically
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: a thought of joy in others. The birth of a
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: noble thought is a potent antidote to counteract an evil thought.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Through the instrumentality of exercised positive thought, we come to
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: acquire creative power, develop individuality, Resist suggestions, not be easily
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: influenced by the suggestions of others. Have your own sense
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: of individuality. A strong suggestion, though it does not influence
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: the subject, immediately, will operate in due course. It will
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: never go in vain. We all live in a world
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: of suggestions. Our character is daily modified unconsciously by association
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: with others. We unconsciously imitate the actions of those whom
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: we admire. We daily absorb the suggestions of those with
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: whom we come in daily contact. We are acted upon
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: by these suggestions. A man of weak mind yields to
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: the suggestions of a man of strong mind. The servant
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: is always under the influence of the suggestions of his master.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: The wife is under the influence of the suggestions of
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: her husband. The patient is under the influence of the
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: suggestions of the doctor. The student is under the influence
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: of the teacher. Custom is nothing but the product of suggestion.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: The dress that you put on, the manners, the behavior,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: and even the food that you eat are all the
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: outcome of suggestions. Only nature suggests in various ways. The
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: running rivers, the shining sun, fragrant flowers, the growing trees
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: are all incessantly sending you suggestions. Supernormal powers by thought discipline.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: A powerful occultist hypnotizes the whole audience collectively through his
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: power of concentration and will, and performs the rope trick.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: He throws a red rope in the air, gives suggestion
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: to the onlookers that he will climb in the air
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: through this rope, and disappears from the platform in the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: twinkling of an eye. But nothing is recorded, and a
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: photograph is taken. Understand and realize the powers of thought,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: unfold the hidden powers or occult faculties. Close the eyes, concentrate,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: explore the higher regions of the mind. You can see
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: distant eye objects, hear distant voices, send messages to distant places.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: Heal persons who are at a distance, and move about
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: to a distant place in the twinkling of an eye.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: Chapter six, Thoughts, their varieties, and their conquest. Get over
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: gloomy thoughts very carefully watch all your thoughts. Suppose you
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: are assailed by gloomy thoughts you experience depression. Take a
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: small cup of milk or tea, sit calmly, close your eyes.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: Find out the cause for the depression, and try to
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: remove the cause. The best method to overcome the gloomy
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: thoughts and the consequent depression is to think of inspiring
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: thoughts and inspiring things. Remember again, positive overcomes negative. This
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: is a grand, effective law of nature. Now think strongly
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: of the opposite thoughts, the opposite of gloom. Think of
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: those things that elevate your mind. Think of cheerfulness. Imagine
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: the advantage of cheerfulness. Feel that you are in actual
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: possession of this quality. Again and again, repeat the formula,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: Ohm cheerfuones. Mentally, feel I am very cheerful. Begin to
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: smile and laugh several times. Sing sometimes this can elevate
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: you quickly. Singing is very beneficial to drive off gloom.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: Chant home loudly several times, run in the open air.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: The depression will vanish soon. This is the Pratapaccha Bavana
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: method of Roger Yogin's This is the easiest method. The
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: method of driving gloom by force, by willing, by assertions,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: by command taxes the will very much. Although it is
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: the most efficient, it demands great strength of will. Ordinary
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: people will not succeed. The method of displacing or dislocating
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: the negative feeling by substituting the opposite positive feeling is
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: very easy. Within a very short time, the undesirable feeling vanishes.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: Practice this and feel even if you fail several times,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: continue you will be successful. After some sittings and some practice.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: You can treat in the same manner other negative thoughts
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: and feelings as well. If there is the feeling of anger,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: think of love. If there are thoughts of jealousy, think
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: of the advantages of charitableness and magnanimity. If there are
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: thoughts of gloom, then think of some inspiring scenery that
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: you saw some time ago, or recall to mind some
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: inspiring passage. If there is harshness of heart, think of mercy.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: If there is lust, think of the advantage of celibacy.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: If there is dishonesty, think of honesty. Integrity. If there
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: is miserliness, think of generosity and generous persons. If there
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: is infatuation or moha delusion causing attachment, think of discrimin
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: between real and unreal and atmic vicarous self realization. If
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: there is pride, think of humility. If there is hypocrisy,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: think of frankness and its invaluable advantages. If there is jealousy,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: think of nobility and magnanimity. If there is timidity, think
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: of courage, and so on. You will drive off the
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: negative thoughts and feelings and will be established in a
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: positive state. Practice of a continued type is essential. Be
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: careful in the selection of your companions. Talk very little,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: and that too on useful matters, victory over intrusive thoughts.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: In the beginning of your practice of thought control, you
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: will experience great difficulty. You will have to wage war
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: with them. They will struggle their level best for their
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: own existence. They will say, we have every right to
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: remain in this palace of mind. We have a sole
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: monopoly from time immemorial to occupy this area. Why should
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: we vacate our dominion now? We will fight for our
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: birthright till the end. They will pounce upon you with
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: great ferocity. When you sit for meditation only, all sorts
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: of evil thoughts will crop up as you attempt to
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: suppress them. They want to attack you with redoubled force
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: and vigor. But positive always overcomes the negative. Just as
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: darkness cannot stand before the sun, just as the leopard
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: cannot stand before the lion, so also all these dark,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: negative thoughts, these invisible intruders, enemies of peace, cannot stand
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: before the sublime divine thoughts. They must die by themselves.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: Drive away obnoxious thoughts. Drive away from your mind all unnecessary,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: useless and obnoxious thoughts. Useless thoughts impede your spiritual growth.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Obnoxious thoughts are stumbling blocks to spiritual advancement. You are
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: away from God. When you entertain useless thoughts. Substitute thought
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: thought of God. Entertain only thoughts that are helpful and useful.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: Useful thoughts are the stepping stones to spiritual growth and progress.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: Do not allow the mind to run into the old
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: grooves and to have its own ways and habits. Be
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: on the careful watch. If a pebble in our boot
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: torments us, we expel it. We take off the boot
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: and shake it out. Once the matter is fairly understood.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: It is just as easy to expel an intruding an
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: obnoxious thought from the mind. About this. There ought to
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: be no doubt, no two opinions. The thing is obvious, clear,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: and unmistakable. It should be as easy to expel an
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: obnoxious thought from your mind as it is to shake
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: a stone out of your shoe. And till a man
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: can do that, it is just nonsense to talk about
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: his ascendancy in conquest over nature. He is a mere
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: slave and prey to the bat winged phantoms that flit
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: through the corridor of his brain. Master worldly thought. Though
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: Worldly thoughts will trouble you a lot in the beginning
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: of your new life of thought culture. They trouble you
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: also when you take to the practice of meditation in
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: spiritual life. But if you are regular in your cultivation
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: of spiritual thoughts and in your meditation, these worldly thoughts
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: will gradually die by themselves. Meditation is a fire to
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: burn these thoughts. Do not try to drive all worldly thoughts.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: Entertain positive thoughts concerning the object of your meditation positively,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: think of the lofty things. Watch your mind always very carefully,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: be vigilant, be on the alert. Do not allow waves
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: of irritability, jealousy, anger, hatred, lust to rise from the mind.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: These dark waves and worldly thoughts are enemies of meditation, peace,
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: and wisdom. Conquer them immediately by entertaining sublime divine thoughts.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: Worldly thoughts that have arisen may be destroyed by originating
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: good thoughts and maintaining them, by repeating any mantra or
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: the name of the Lord, by thinking on any form
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, by practice of priniama, breathing by singing
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: the name of the Lord, by doing good actions, by
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: thinking on the misery that arises from the worldly thoughts.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: When you attain a state of purity, no worldly thoughts
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: will take their rise in your mind. Just as it
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: is easy to check the intruder or enemy at the gate,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: so also it is easy to overcome a worldly thought
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: as soon as it rises. Nip it in the bud,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: do not allow it to strike a deep route. Conquer
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: impure thoughts. When you are very busy in your daily work,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: you may not harbor any impure thought. But when you
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: take rest and leave the mind blank, the impure thoughts
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: will try to enter insidiously. You must be careful when
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: the mind is relaxed. Thoughts gain strength by repetition. If
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: you entertain an impure thought or good thought, once this
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: impure thing, thought or good thought has a tendency to
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: recur again. Thoughts crowd together, just as the birds of
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: the same feather flock together. So also, if you entertain
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: one impure thought, all sorts of impure thoughts join together
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: and attack you. If you entertain any good thought, all
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: good thoughts join together to help you subdue negative thoughts.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: Learn to subdue, to purify, to order all your thoughts.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: Fight against all negative thoughts and doubts. Let sublime, divine
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: thoughts come to you from every side. Thoughts of depression, failure, weakness, darkness, doubts, fear,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Are negative thoughts. Cultivate positive thoughts of strength, confidence, courage, cheerfulness.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: The negative thoughts will disappear. Fill the mind with divine
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: thoughts by repetition of sacred mantra, prayer, diana, meditation, and
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: study of holy books. Be indifferent to all negative and
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: undivine thoughts. They will pass away. Do not struggle with them.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: Pray to God for strength, Read the lives of saints,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: study the Bagavada, and the Ramayana. All devotees have passed
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: through similar ordeals. So take heart, overcome habitual thoughts. All
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: sorts of habitual thoughts concerning the body, the dress, the food,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: and so on, must be overcome through the atmaginana, or
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: reflection on the nature of the divine self within one's
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: own heart. This is an uphill work. It demands patient,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: incessant practice and inner spiritual strength. Stritties emphatically declare this
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: Ottman's self cannot be obtained by weak persons. Sincere aspirants
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: dedicate their whole being to contemplation of the eternal, having
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: withdrawn their affection from the world of sense objects, those
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: who have destroyed the mental impressions the host of habitual
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: thoughts will enjoy their final beatitude in the brahmic seat,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: replete with trust, quiescence, and equality. They will have equal vision.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: Over All, this mischievous and powerful mind generates all pains
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: and all fears, all sorts of diversities, heterogeneity, distinctions and dualities,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: and destroys all noble spiritual wealth. Slay this troublesome mind.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: When the scene and the sight merge into one another
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: in the seer, then is the experience of Ananda bliss.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: This is to re estate. Then one sees the illimitable
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: Jnana moleedge ottman's self only everywhere. All sorts of distinctions
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: and dualities vanish now entirely, thoughts of attraction and thoughts
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: of repulsion, likes and dislikes, ragged vesha are annihilated. In Toto.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Then the sage will not be conscious of the existence
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: of the body, though working in it. He will never
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: lose his control, even amidst the many alu usions of
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: the world. Like a woman who performs her household duties
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: whilst her mind is engrossed in her paramour at a distance,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: the sage will always center his mind on brahmin. May
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: you always be performing only those virtuous actions that will
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: help you in the attainment of Janana knowledge, without any
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: thought of worldly prosperity. In the future. May you live
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: drowned in the ocean of Brahmic divine delight, in a
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: state of full illumination, having destroyed all dualities, distinctions and
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: differences triumph over unimportant thoughts. Do not try to drive
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: away the unimportant and irrelevant thoughts. The more you try,
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: the more they will return. The more they will gain strength.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: You will tax your energy and will become indifferent. Fill
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: the mind with divine thoughts. They will gradually vanish. Get
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: yourself established in nervian samadhi, the nondual, thoughtless state of consciousness.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: Through constant meditation, removal of tension in the muscles of
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: the body brings repose and calmness to the mind. By relaxation,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: you give rest to the mind, tired nerves, and the
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: overworked muscles. You will get immense peace of mind, strength,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: and vigor when you practice relaxation of either body or mind.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: The brain should not be occupied with various sorts of
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: loose extraneous thoughts, anger, disappointment, failure, indisposition, misery, sorrow, quarrels
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: cause internal mental strain. Expel them transform instinctive thoughts. Thinking
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: is of four kinds viz. Symbolic thinking, instinctive thinking, impulsive thinking,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: and habitual thinking. Thinking through words is symbolic thinking. Instincts
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: are more powerful than impulses. Thoughts of body, food, drink, bath,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Are habitual thinking. You can stop easily symbolic thinking.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: It is difficult to stop instinctive and impulsive thinking. Mental
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: poise and calmness may be brought about by the eradication
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: of worry and anger. Fear really underlies both worry and anger.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: Be careful and thoughtful. All unnecessary worries should be avoided.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Think of courage, joy, bliss, peace, and cheerfulness. Sit for
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes in a relaxed state, in an easy, comfortable position.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: You can lie on an easy chair, close your eyes,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: withdraw the mind from outside objects, still the mind, Silence,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: the bubbling thoughts lessen the number of habitual thoughts, generally
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: in untrained persons. For of five kinds of thoughts occupy
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: the mind at a time. Household thoughts, business thoughts, thoughts
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: of office, thoughts of body, thoughts of food and drink,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: hope and anticipation, some kind of planning to get money,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: some kind of thoughts of revenge, some habitual thoughts of answering,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: calls of nature, bathing, et cetera. Occupy the mind at
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: a time. When you are studying a book with interest
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: at three thirty p m. The idea of pleasure of
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: witnessing a cricket match at four p m disturbs your study.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: Every now and then, it is only a yogi with
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: one pointed mind, who can have only one thought at
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: a time and can keep it as long as he likes.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: If you watch the mind carefully, you will find that
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: many thoughts are inconsistent. The mind wanders at random, aimlessly.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: There will be some thoughts of the body and its wants,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: some thoughts of friends, some thoughts of acquiring money, some
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: thoughts of eating and drinking, some thoughts of your boyhood,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: et cetera. If you can study the mind, and if
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: you have consistent thoughts of one subject or one kind
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: only to the exclusion of all other thoughts, this itself
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: is a very great achievement, is a great step in
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: advancement in thought control. Do not be discouraged. Gather inspirational thoughts.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: The goal of life is the attainment of divine consciousness.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: This goal is the realization that you are neither this
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: perishable body nor that changing and finite mind, but you
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: are all pure, ever free oughtman. Remember always, this inspiring thought, unborn, eternal, permanent,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: is this ancient one. This is your real nature. You
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: are not this little passing personality hooked on to a
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: name and form. You are not Ramaswami or Mukherji or
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: Metta or Matthew, or Guard or Opta. You have only
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: fallen into this little delusion by an accident through some
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: passing cloud of ignorance. Awake and realize that you are
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: pure otman. There is another wonderful or panishatic inspirational thought.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: It is ice of asiamidem servam. Every content of the
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: universe is throbbing with the life of the Lord. Smile
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: with the flowers and the green grass. Smile with the shrubs, ferns,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: and twigs. Develop friendship with all neighbors, dogs, cats, cows,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: human beings, trees. In fact, with all nature's creations, you
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: will have a perfect and rich life. Reflect over illuminating thoughts.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: If you want to develop your thought power, if you
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: want to build up your personality and become great, always
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: keep with you some books of inspiring and illuminating thoughts.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: Read them over and over again until they become part
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: of your daily action and living. Here is a list
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: of some illuminating thoughts for reflection. One but clean conscience
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: makes a stout heart and a strong mind. Two poverty
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: is the elder brother of laziness. Three knowledge of the
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: self is the greatest treasure. Meditation is the key to knowledge,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: right thoughts for wrong thoughts. Thoughts of passion and lust
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: should be conquered by an earnest practice of brahmacarias celibacy,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: by intent men's aspiration to realize the truth, to know God,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: by meditating on the great advantages of purity. Thoughts of
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: hatred and anger should be controlled by generating thoughts of love, forgiveness, mercy, friendliness, peace, patience,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: and nonviolence. Pride and thoughts connected with pride must be
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: controlled by a systematic mental examination of the value of
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: cultivating humility. Thoughts of greed, grabbing, and possessiveness should be
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: dispelled by pursuit of honesty, disinterestedness, generosity, contentment and non covetousness.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: Nobility and magnanimity. Complacency and greatness of heart will help
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: you get over all. Thoughts of narrowness, jealousy, meanness, delusion,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: and infatuation are best conquered by the development of discrimination.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: Vanity is overcome by a many sided simplicity, arrogance by politeness.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: The gamut of thoughts, there are various kinds of thoughts.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: There are instinct thoughts, there are visual thoughts, There are
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: auditory thoughts. Thinking in terms of hearing. There are symbolic thoughts,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: thinking in terms of symbols. Some thoughts are habitual. There
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: are kinesthetic thoughts, thinking in terms of movement, as in
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: playing a game. There are emotional thoughts. Thoughts change from
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: the visual stage to auditory stage, and from auditory to kinesthetic.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: There is intimate connection between thinking and respiration, as there
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: is close relation between mind and prana life force. When
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: the mind is concentrated, breathing becomes slow. If one thinks fast,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: the respiration also becomes fast. There is a thought reading
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: machine known as psychograph, which registers correctly the type of thoughts.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: Mean thoughts and moral development. Uncontrolled thoughts are the roots
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: of all evils. Each thought by itself is extremely weak
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: because the mind is general distracted by countless and ever
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: varying thoughts. The more the thoughts are restrained, the more
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: is the mind concentrated, and consequently, the more does it
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: gain in strength and power. It demands patient work to
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: destroy mean and base thoughts, but the entertainment of sublime
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: thoughts is the easiest and rapid method of destroying base thoughts.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: Ignorant of the laws of thoughts, the worldly minded individual
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: falls a prey to all sorts of thoughts, thoughts of hatred, anger, revenge, lust,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: and grows weak willed, deficient in powers of discernment, and
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: slave of the adverse subtle workings of the mind. The
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: best method of gaining mental power is by entertaining sublime, noble,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: and good thoughts, and through their aid controlling the dissipative, distractive, diversifying, worldly,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: in base thoughts. When all evil thought harasses the mind,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: the best method of conquering it is by ignoring it.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: How can we ignore an evil thought by forgetting it?
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: How can we forget by not indulging in it again?
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: And also by not brooding over it? How can we
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: prevent the mind from indulging in it again or brooding
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: over it by thinking of something very interesting, something sublime
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: and inspiring. Ignore, forget, think of something inspiring. These three
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: constitute the Great Sodnow's spiritual practice for establishing mastery over
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: evil thoughts. Chapter seven Positive Methods for thought control. Thought
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: control by practice of concentration, silence the bubbling thoughts, calm
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: the surging emotions. Concentrate on a concrete form. In the beginning,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 1: concentrate on a flower, on the form of Lord Buddha,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: on any dream picture, on the effulgent light of the heart,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: on the picture of any saint or your personal deity.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: Have three or four sittings burly morning, eight a m,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: four p M and eight p m. Devotees concentrate on
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: the heart. Raja Yogen's concentrate onto the space between the eyebrows,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: the seed of the mind. The dantins concentrate on the absolute.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: You can also concentrate on the tip of the nose,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: the navel, or the malatera below the last vertebra of
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: the spinal column. When irrelevant thoughts enter the mind, be indifferent,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: they will pass away. Do not drive them forcibly. They
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: will persist and resist. It will tax your will. They
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: will enter with redoubled force, but substitute divine thoughts. Irrelevant
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: thoughts will gradually fade out. Be slow and steady. In
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: the practice of concentration, concentration is practiced for stopping the
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: modification of the mind. Concentration is holding the mind to
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: one form or object for a long time to remove
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: the tossing of the mind and various other obstacles which
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: stand in the way of one pointedness. The practice of
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: concentration on one thing alone should be made. Concentration is
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: opposed to sensuous thoughts and desires, bliss to flurry and worry.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: Sustain thinking to perplexity, applied thinking to sloth, and torpor
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: rapture to ill will. It is easy to concentrate the
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: mind on external objects. The mind has a natural tendency
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: to go outwards. Keep the picture of Sri Krishna, Rama,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: Narayana Devi, or Lord Jesus, or any picture in front
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: of you, Look at it steadily without winking. Gaze at
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: the head, then at the body, then at the legs.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: Repeat the same process again and again. When your mind
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: calms down, look at a particular spot only. Then close
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: the eyes and mentally visualize the picture. You should be
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: able to visualize the picture very clearly, even in its absence.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: You will have to call up the mental picture at
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: a moment's notice, keep it there steadily for some time.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: This is concentration. You will have to p I practice
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: this daily. If you want to increase your power of concentration,
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: you will have to reduce your worldly desires and activities.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: You will have to observe silence every day for some hours.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: Then only can the mind concentrate very easily and without difficulty.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: In concentration, you will have only one thought or wave
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: in the mind lake the mind assumes the form of
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: only one object. All other operations of the mind are
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: suspended thought control by a positive attitude. Try to acquire
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: the power of closing yourself against detrimental or undesirable thoughts
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: and influences by making yourself positive by a particular attitude
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: of the mind. By so doing, you may be receptive
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: to all higher impulses of the soul within and to
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: all higher forces and influences from without. Make a suggestion
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: to yourself, I close myself. I make myself positive to
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: all things below, and open and receptive to all higher
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: influences to all things above. By taking this attitude of
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: the mind consciously now and then it soon becomes a habit.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: All the lower and undesirable influences from both the scene
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: and the unseen sides of life are closed out, while
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: all higher influences are invited, and in the degree that
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: they are invited, they will enter. In the mind there
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: is doubt, there is reality. Also, a doubt arises whether
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: there is a God or not. This is term Samsayabavana.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: Another doubt crops up whether I can realize Brahman or not.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: Then another voice tells God or Brahmin is real. He
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: is a solid, concrete reality, as an amuluka fruit in
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: my hand. He is a mass of knowledge and supreme bliss,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: consciousness and the essence of ultimate reality. I can realize.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: We have clearly understood something, and these ideas are well
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: grounded and ingrained. Some ideas are hazy and not firm.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: They come and go. We will have to cultivate ideas
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: and ground them till they are firmly fixed and implanted.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: Clarification of ideas will remove perplexity and confusion in the mind.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: When a doubt arises, whether there is God or not,
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: whether I will succeed in self realization or not, it
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: must be dispelled by well directed suggestions and affirmations, such
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: as it is true I will succeed. There is no
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: doubt of this in my dictionary. In my vocabulary, there
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: are no such words as can't, impossible, difficult, et cetera.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: Everything is possible under the sun. Nothing is difficult. When
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: you strongly make up your mind, strong determination and firm
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: resolution will bring sanguine success in every affair or undertaking,
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: and particularly so in the conquest of mind thought control.
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: By non co operation, non co operate with the mind
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: in its evil wanderings. Gradually the mind will come under
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: your control. Here is the practical method to non cooperate
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: with the mind. If the mind says I must eat
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: today's sweetmeats, say unto the mind, I will not cooperate
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: with you today. I will not eat sweetmeats. I will
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: eat only bread and dal. If the mind says I
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: must go to cinema, say unto the mind, I will
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: attend the Sittsanga of Swami Rananda and hear his discourses
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: on the Upanishads. If the mind says I must wear
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: a silk shirt, say unto the mind, I will not
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: wear in future any silk clothing. I will wear only catter.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: This is the method to non cooperate with the mind.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: Non cooperation with the mind is swimming against the sensual currents.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: The mind will be thinned out, and gradually it will
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: become your obedient servant. You will gain mastery over the mind.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: The self controlled man moving among the objects, with senses
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: under restraint and free from attraction and repulsion attains to peace.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: The mind and the senses are naturally endowed with the
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: two currents of attraction and repulsion. Therefore, the mind and
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: the senses like certain objects and dislike certain other objects.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: But the disciplined man moves among the sense objects with
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: a mind and senses free from attraction and repulsion, mastered
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: by self, and attains the peace of the eternal. The
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: disciplined self has a very strong will. Therefore the senses
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: and mind obey his will. The disciplined self takes only
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: those objects which are quite necessary for the maintenance of
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: the body, without any love or hatred. He never takes
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: those objects which are forbidden by the sostres art of
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: thinning out thoughts In the rubber plantations, planters take recourse
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: to the method of thinning out the rubber trees by
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: cutting the small surplus trees which stand in the vicinity
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: of big trees. By so doing they can tap more
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: milk rubber juice from the big trees. Even so, you
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: must thin out the thoughts by destroying them one by
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: one in order to drink the ambrosio milk or nectar
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: of immortality. Just as you retain only the good fruits
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: from the basket and discard the bad ones. So also
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: keep good thoughts in your mind and reject evil ones.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: Just as the warrior chops off the heads of enemies
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: one by one when they come out of a fortress
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: through a trap door, so also chop off the thoughts
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: one by one when they emerge out through the trap
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: door to the surface of the mind. When the tail
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: of a lizard is cut, the cut end will flutter
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: about for some time as there is still a little
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: residual prana life force in the tail. After one or
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: two minutes, all motion will cease. Even so, even after
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: thinning and reducing the thoughts, some thoughts will move about
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: like the tail of the lizard. But they are powerless.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: They cannot do any serious harm. There is no vitality
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: in them. Just as the drowning man tries to catch
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: any to save himself, so also these lifeless thoughts try
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: their level best to come back to their previous state
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: of life and vigor. If you go on regularly with
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: your daily practice of concentration and meditation, they will die
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: by themselves like a gearless lamp. Passion, egoism, jealousy, pride,
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: and hatred are very deep rooted. If you cut the
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: branches of a tree, they grow again after some time.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: Even so, these thoughts that are suppressed or thinned out
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: for some time manifest again after some time. They should
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: be completely rooted out by strenuous efforts vicarous self realization, meditation,
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Thought control by Napoleon's method. When you think
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: on one subject, do not allow other thoughts to enter.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: When you think of a rose, think of the different
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: kinds of roses only. Do not allow other thoughts to enter.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: When you think of mercy, think of mercy and mercy only.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: Do not think of forgiveness and tolerance. When you study
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: the Gida, do not think of tea or a cricket match.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: Be wholly occupied with the subject on hand. Napoleon controlled
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: his thoughts in this manner. When I want to think
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: of things more pleasant, I close the cupboards of my
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: mind revealing the more unpleasant things of life, and open
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: up the cupboards containing the more pleasant thoughts. If I
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: want to sleep, I close up all the cupboards of mind.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: Arrest the recurrence of evil thoughts. Suppose the evil thoughts
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: stay in your mind for twelve hours and recur every
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: third day. If you can make them stay for ten
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: hours and recur once in a week by daily practice
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: of concentration and meditation, that is a decided improvement. If
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: you continue your practice, the period of stay and recurrences
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: will be gradually lessened. Eventually they will disappear altogether. Compare
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: your present state of mind with that of last year
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: or year before last. You will be able to find
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: out progress. The progress will be very slow in the beginning.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: It will be difficult for you to gauge your growth
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: and progress. Give the wrong thought no concession. At first,
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: a wrong thought enters the mind. Then you entertain a
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: strong imagination. You take delight in dwelling on that wrong thought.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: You give consent to its stay in the mind, and
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: gradually the wrong thought, when it is not resisted, takes
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: a strong hold in your mind. Then it becomes very
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: difficult to drive it off. The proverb goes, give a
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: rogue an inch, and he will take an l This
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: is true of wrong thoughts. Also nip the bad thought
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: in its bud. Just as you close your door or
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: gate when a dog or an ass tries to come in,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: so also close your mind before any evil thought can enter,
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: and produce an impression on your physical brain. You will
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: become wise soon and attain eternal, infinite peace and bliss.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Wipe out let us greed and egoism. Entertain only pure
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: holy thoughts. This is an uphill task, a difficult task.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: You will have to practice it. You will succeed in
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: your attempt after some time. Destruction of one bad thought
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: will give you strength to annihilate other thoughts and will
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: develop your soul force or will power. Never despair. Though
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: you may fail in crushing a bad thought, no pains,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: no gains. Inner spiritual strength will gradually manifest in you.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: You can feel this spiritual practice for elimination of evil thoughts.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: Your mind will sometimes shudder when evil thoughts enter your mind.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: This is a sign of your spiritual progress. You are
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: growing spiritually. You will be much tormented when you think
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: of your evil actions committed in the past. This is
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: also a sign of your spiritual upheaval. You will not
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: repeat now the same actions. Your mind will tremble, your
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: body will quiver whenever a wrong thought of some evil
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: action urges you to do the same act. Through force
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: of habit, continue your meditation with full vigor and earnestness.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: All memories of evil actions, all evil thoughts, all evil
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: promptings of Satan will die by themselves. You will be
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: established in perfect purity and peace. In the beginning, all
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: sorts of evil thoughts will arise in your mind as
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: soon as you sit for meditation. Why does this happen
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: during meditation when you attempt to entertain pure thoughts? Aspirants
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: leave their spiritual practice of meditation on account of this.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: If you try to drive a monkey, it attempts to
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: pounce upon you in vengeance. Even so, the old evil
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: thoughts try to attack you revengefully and with redoubled force.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: At the time when you try to raise good divine thoughts,
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: your enemy endeavors to resist you vehemently when you try
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: to eject him out of your house. There there is
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: a law of resistance in nature. The old evil thoughts
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: assert and say, oh man, do not be cruel. You
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: have allowed us to stay in your mental factory from
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: time immemorial. We have every right to abide here. We
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: have helped you up to this time in all your
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: evil actions. Why do you want to oust us from
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: our dwelling place. We will not vacate our abode. Do
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: not be discouraged. Go on with your practice of meditation regularly.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: These evil thoughts will be thinned out. Eventually they will
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: all perish. Positive always overcomes negative. This is the law
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: of nature. Negative evil thoughts cannot stand before positive good thoughts.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: Courage overcomes fear, Patience overcomes anger and irritability, Love overcomes hatred,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: Purity overcomes lust. The very fact that you feel uneasy
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: now when an evil thought comes to the surface of
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: the mind during meditation indicates that you are growing in spirituality.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: In the past, you consciously harbored all sorts of evil thoughts.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: You welcomed and nourished them. Persist in your spiritual practices.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: Be tenacious and diligent. You are bound to succeed. Even
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: a dull type of aspirant will notice a marvelous change
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: in him if he keeps up the practice of repetition
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: of sacred mantra and meditation for two or three years
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: in a continuous stream. Now he cannot leave the practice.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: Even if he stops his practice of meditation for a day,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: he will actually feel that he has lost something. On
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: that day, his mind will be quite uneasy. Best remedies
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: for evil thoughts. When the mind is vacant, evil thoughts
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: try to enter. Evil thinking is the beginning or starting
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: point of adultery through a lustful look. Only you have
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: already committed adultery in the heart. Mental actions are the
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: real actions. Remember this, God judges a man by his motives.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: Worldly people judge a man by his external physical actions.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: You will have to look to the motive of the man.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: Then you will not be mistaken. Keep the mind fully occupied,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: then evil thoughts will not enter. An idle brain is
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: the devil's workshop. Watch the mind every minute. Always engage
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: yourself in some work, stitching, cleaning vessels, sweeping, drawing water, reading, meditating,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: counting the beads, singing divine songs, praying, serving the elders,
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 1: or nursing the sick. Avoid loose talk and gossip. Fill
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: the mind with sublime thoughts, such as those contained in
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: the Gidah, the Upanishads, the Yoga, Assisha, et cetera. Daily
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: discipline of thoughts. The mind is a mischievous imp. It
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: is like a jumping monkey. It must be disciplined daily.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: Only then will it gradually come under your control. It
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: is only by the practical training of your mind that
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: you can prevent bad thoughts and actions from arising, and
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: can ward off bad thoughts and actions that have arisen
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: from recurrence. It is only by practical training of your
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: mind that you can encourage good thoughts and actions to arise,
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 1: and can sustain good thoughts and actions when they have arisen.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: Here is a beautiful daily exercise for mental relaxation. It
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: will pour into you great inspiration and strength. Close the eyes.
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: Think of anything that is pleasant. This will relax the
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: mind in a wonderful manner. Think of the mighty Himalayas,
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: the sacred Ganga, the striking scenery in Kashmir, the taj Mahal,
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: the Victoria Memorial in Calcutta, a lovely sunset, the vast
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: expanse of ocean, or the infinite blue sky. Imagine that
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: the whole world and your body are floating like a
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: straw in this vast ocean of spirit. Feel that you
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: are in touch with the supreme Being. Feel that the
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: life of the whole world is pulsating, vibrating and throbbing
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: through you. Feel that Lord Golden Womb, the ocean of life,
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: is gently rocking you on his vast bosom. Then open
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: your eyes you will experience immense mental peace, vigor, and strength.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: Practice this and feel thoughts and the snake analogy. Just
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: as fruit is born of the seed, so also deeds
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: are born of thoughts. Good thoughts generate good actions, Evil
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: thoughts produce evil actions. Harbor good thoughts repel evil thoughts.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: If you cultivate good thoughts by association with truth and
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: enlightened beings, study of religious books, prayer, et cetera, evil
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: thoughts will die by themselves. Just as you remove at
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: once the pebble in your shoe that troubles you, so
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: also you must be able to remove at once any
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: tormenting thought from your mind. Only then have you gained
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: sufficient strength in the control of thought. Only then have
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: you attained some real progress in the spiritual path. When
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: you give a blow on the head of a snake
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: with a stick and crush its head, it remains absolutely
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: motionless for some time you think it is dead. All
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: of a sudden it raises its head and runs away.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: Even so, the thoughts that were once crushed and suppressed
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: by you regain strength and raise their heads. They must
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: be destroyed totally beyond resurrection. World conquest by thought, conquest
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: control the thoughts or intentions. Avoid imagination or daydreaming, the
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: mind will be annihilated. Extinction of thoughts alone is mokshall
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: liberation or release. The mind is destroyed when there is
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: no imagination. The experience of the world illusion is due
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 1: to your imagination. It vanishes away when imagining is completely stopped.
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: Victory over thoughts is really a victory over all limitations, weakness, ignorance,
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: and death. The inner war with the mind is more
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 1: terrible than the outer war with the machine guns. Conquest
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: of thoughts is more difficult than the conquest of the
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: world by the force of arms. Conquer your thoughts and
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: you would conquer the world. Form a divine channel for
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: thought force. Thoughts generally flow with ease towards external objects.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: The mind can very easily think of worldly objects. It
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: is its slabhava. Mental force can easily flow in the
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: old grooves and avenues of mundane thoughts. It finds it
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: extremely difficult to think of God. It is an uphill
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: work for a syseric worldly mind of worldly transactions. The
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: difficulty in weaning the mind from worldly thoughts, from external
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: objects and fixing it on God is the same as
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: in making the Gandha flow towards Gangotri instead of its
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: natural flow towards gong Sagar. It is like rowing against
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: the current of the Yemenah. Still, through strenuous efforts and renunciations,
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: it must be trained to flow towards God, much against
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: its will. If you want to free yourself from birth
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: and death, there is no other go. If you want
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: to escape from worldly miseries and tribulations, roll of vigilance.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: In thought control, it is very difficult to fix the
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: mind on one thought. In the beginning. Diminish the number
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: of thoughts. Try to think of only one subject. If
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: you think of rose, you can have all sorts of
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: thoughts connected with rose only. You can think of different
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: kinds of roses that are grown in different parts of
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: the world. You can think of the various preparations that
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: are made out of roses and their uses. You can
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: allow even thoughts of other kinds of flowers to enter,
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 1: but do not entertain thoughts of fruits and vegetables. Check
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: the aimless, wandering state of the mind. Do not have
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: thoughts at random. When you think of rose. Gradually you
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 1: can fix the mind on one thought only. You will
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: have to discipline the mind daily. Eternal vigilance is needed
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: in thought control. Watch and spiritualize your thoughts. Watch the thoughts,
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: control the thoughts, Be a witness of your thoughts. Rise
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: above thoughts and dwell in that pure consciousness where there
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 1: is no thought. The subtle impressions, tendencies, desires, and passions
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 1: lying in the depths of the subconscious have a tremendous
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: effect on your conscious life. They should be purified and sublimated.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: They must be given a spiritual turn. Hear what is auspicious?
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: Behold what is auspicious? Think what is auspicious? Talk what
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: is auspicious? Meditate what is auspicious? Understand what is auspicious?
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: Know what is auspicious? Fear strong, dislike, buried, hatred, prejudice, intolerance, anger, lust,
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: disturb the action of the subconscious mind. Cultivate virtues, purify
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: and strengthen the subconscious mind. Desire, greed, et cetera enslave
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: and obscure the mind, which must be freed and restored
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: to its pristine purity to reflect truth and practice meditation.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: The lower impulses belong to the physical body and the
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: mental plane. When the mind does not function owing to
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: the absence of the saunas, mental impressions and subtle desires
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: then arises the state of manonassa or annihilation of the mind.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: Chapter eight The patterns of thought culture, discrimination, and inner
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: mental culture. Whenever desires crop in your mind, do not
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: try to fulfill them. Reject them through discrimination, rite, inquiry,
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: and dispassion. You will get tranquility of mind and mental strength.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: By constant practice this, the mind is thinned out. The
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: mind is checked directly from wandering. Its outgoing tendencies are curbed.
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: If the desires are eradicated, the thoughts also will die
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: by themselves. The mind is detached from the manifold sense
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: objects by continually observing their defects, and is fixed on brahmin.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: In the practice of Sama, the five jennana andreas or
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: organs of knowledge viz. Ear, skin, eye, tongue, and nose
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: are also controlled. Sama is serenity of mind produced by
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: the constant eradication of mental impressions or desires, unwholesome thoughts,
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 1: and self watchfulness. Fully realize for yourself the grave and
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: ruinous consequences of evil thoughts. This will set you on
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: your guard when the evil thoughts would come the moment
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: they come. Exert yourself or divert the mind to some
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: other object of divine thoughts, prayer or repetition of sacred mantra.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 1: A real earnestness to drive away the evil thoughts will
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 1: keep you on the alert, so much so that even
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 1: if they appear in dream, you will at once wake up.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: Should the enemy appear when you are awake, it will
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: not be very difficult for you to cope with him.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: If only you are sufficiently watchful, you must be saved
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: from the malformation and the miscarriage of your mind. Mind
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: is like a playful child. The clement energies of the
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: mind must be bent to become the passive channels for
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: the transmission of truth. The mind must be filled with
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: sappha purity. It should be trained to think of truth
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: or God constantly. If you want rapid progress in the
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: spiritual path, watch every thought. A vacant mind is ever distressed.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: It is the devil's workshop. Be thoughtful, keep guard over
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: your mind, watch every impulse and thought. Spiritualize or sublimate
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: your instincts. Evil thought is the most dangerous thief. Slay
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: this thief with the sword of wisdom. Generate daily new
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: divine vibrations or thought waves in your mind. Make your
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: thought pure, strong, sublime, and definite. You will gain immense
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: spiritual strength and peace. Every thought must be constructive and noble.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: Thoughts are only refractions. Slay all thoughts. Go thou within
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: to the light of lights. If you wish to attain
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: self realization, imagination and speculation must stop. Purify and control
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 1: the emotions beneath your conscious life. There is a very
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: wide region of subconscious life. All habits originate from the
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: subconscious plane. Subconscious life is more powerful than your ordinary
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: life of objective consciousness. Through the practice of yoga, you
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: can modify, control, and influence the subconscious depths. Take one
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: evil trait, meditate on its opposite verse every morning, practice
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: it during the day. The evil quality will vanish soon.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: Meditate on mercy in the morning and practice it during
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 1: the day. You will soon develop mercy. If evil thoughts
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: enter your mind once in a month instead of thrice weekly,
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: remember that evil thinking is the beginning of adultery. If
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: you become angry once in a month instead of once weekly,
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 1: that is a sign of progress. That is a sign
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 1: of your increased will power. That is a sign of
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: growing spiritual strength, be of good cheer, keep a diary
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: of spiritual progress self development by yogic thought culture, the
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: superphysical phenomena occurring in the practice of yoga and the
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: practitioner's experience on subtler planes are viewed with suspicion and
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: regarded as mere oriental magic. Yoga is neither fanciful nor
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: does it contain anything abnormal. It aims at the integral
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: development of all faculties in man. It is the time
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: and tested, rational way to a fuller and more blessed
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: life that will naturally be followed by one and all
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: in the world of tomorrow. All methods of yoga have
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: ethical training in moral perfection as their basis. The eradication
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 1: of vices and the development of certain virtues form the
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: first step in the latter of yoga. The disciplining of
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 1: your nature in the formation of a steady and pure
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: character through a set of right habits and regular daily
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: observances is the next step. Upon this firm foundation of
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: a well established and virtuous moral character is built the
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: further structure of yoga thought culture by the method of substitution.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: The substitution method is very easy and effective in the
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: destruction of evil thoughts. Cultivate positive, virtuous thoughts of mercy, love, purity, forgiveness, integrity, generosity,
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: and humility in the garden of your mind. The negative,
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: vicious thoughts of hatred, lust, anger, greed, pride will die
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: by themselves. It is difficult to destroy the evil thoughts
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: by attacking them directly. You will have to tax your
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: will and waste your energy. Spiritual methods for thought culture.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: If you think again and again of an impure thing,
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 1: it gains new strength, It gets the force of momentum.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: You must drive it immediately. If you find it difficult
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: to do so, entertain counterthoughts of God. Cultivate sublime and
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: elevating thoughts. Evil thoughts will die by themselves. A noble
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: thought is a potent antidote to counteract an evil thought.
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 1: This is easier than the former method. By repetition of
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: God's name thousands of times daily. Good thoughts gain new
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 1: strength By repeating I Am Brahmin Ultimate Reality thousand times daily.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: The idea that you are the spirit Ottman becomes stronger.
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: The idea that you are the body becomes weaker and weaker.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 1: If evil thoughts enter your mind, don't use your will
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 1: force in driving them, you will lose your energy. Only
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 1: you will tax your will. Only you will fatigue yourself.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: The greater the efforts you make, the more the evil
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: thoughts will return with redoubled force. They will return more quickly. Also,
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: the thoughts will become more powerful. Be indifferent, keep quiet,
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 1: They will pass off soon. Or substitute good counter thoughts.
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: Prat a Patschap Bivona method, or think of the picture
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: of God and the mantra again and again forcibly, or pray.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 1: The importance of thought culture. Thought culture is a vital subject.
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 1: Very few people know this art or science. Even the
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 1: so called educated people are unaware of this fundamental education.
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: All are victims of random thinking. All sorts of loose
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: thoughts of diverse kinds come and go. In the mental factory.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 1: There is neither rhythm nor reasoning. There is neither concord
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 1: nor discipline. All is in a state of utter chaos
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: and confusion. There is no clarification of ideas. You cannot
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 1: think of one subject even for two minutes in an
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 1: orderly and systematic manner. You have no understanding of the
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 1: laws of thoughts and the laws of the mental plane.
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 1: There is a perfect menagerie inside All sorts of sensual
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: thoughts fight amongst themselves to enter the mind of a
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 1: sensualist and gain the upper hand. The eye sense struggles
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 1: to bring its own thoughts. It wants to have sight seeing.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: The ear sense wants to bring only base thoughts, lustful thoughts,
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 1: thoughts of hatred, jealousy, and fear. Many cannot entertain a
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: single sublime, divine thought even for a second. Their minds
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 1: are so framed that the mental energy runs in sensual grooves.
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 1: The battle of thoughts. In the beginning of thought culture,
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: there is internal fight between pure and impure thoughts. The
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: impure thought tries to enter the mental factory again and again.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 1: It asserts, O, little man, you gave me shelter in
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 1: the beginning. You welcomed me before you gave me a
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: cordial reception. I have every right to remain in the
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 1: lowlands of your mind, in your instinctive, passionate mind. Why
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 1: are you cruel towards me? I only gave you a
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 1: push or stimulus in taking you to restaurants and hotels,
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: cinemas and theaters, ball rooms and bars. You had a
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: variety of enjoyments through me alone. Why are you ungrateful
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: to me? Now? I will resist, persist and recur again
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: and again, do whatever you like. You are weak through
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 1: old habits. You have no strength to resist. Eventually, pure
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 1: thoughts only will gain victory. Sad vapurity is a greater
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 1: power than restlessness and darkness. Positive overcomes negative. Good thought
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: the first perfection. Thought is a good servant. It is
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 1: an instrument. You will have to utilize it tactfully and properly.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 1: The prime requisite for happiness is control over the thoughts.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 1: Your thought is imprinted over your face. Thought is a
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: bridge that connects the human with the divine. Your body,
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: your business, your home. They are only ideas within your mind.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 1: Thought is a dynamic force. Good thought is the first perfection.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: Thought is real wealth. Culture the thoughts and become a Buddha.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: Drive away from your mind all unnecessary, useless and obnoxious thoughts.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: Useless thoughts impede your spiritual growth. Obnoxious thoughts are stumbling
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: blocks to spiritual advancement. You are away from God when
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 1: you entertain useless thoughts. Substitute thoughts of God enter pain.
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: Only thoughts that are helpful and useful. Useful thoughts are
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: stepping stones. To spiritual growth and progress. Do not allow
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 1: the mind to run into the old grooves and to
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 1: have its own ways and habits. Be on the careful watch.
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 1: You must eradicate through introspection all sorts of mean thoughts,
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: useless thoughts, unworthy thoughts, impure thoughts, all sexual thoughts, thoughts
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 1: of jealousy, hatred, and selfishness. You must annihilate all destructive
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts of disharmony and discord. You must always develop pure, good, loving, sublime,
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 1: and divine thoughts. Every thought must be of a constructive nature.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: It must be strong, positive and definite. The mental image
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 1: must be of a clear cut and well defined thought.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: It must bring peace and solace to others. It should
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 1: not bring even the least pain and unhappiness to anyone.
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: Then you are a blessed soul on the earth. You
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 1: are a mighty power on the earth. You can help many,
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 1: heal thousands, spiritualize, and elevate a large number of persons,
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: as did Jesus or Buddha. Just as you grow jasmine, rose, lily,
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: Honolulu flowers in a garden, so also you should cultivate
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 1: the flowers of peaceful thoughts, of love, mercy, kindness, purity
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: in the vast garden of anti karana through introspection. You
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: will have to water this garden of mind with meditation
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 1: and sublime thinking. Remove the weeds of vain, useless, discordant thoughts.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: Avoid thoughts of another man's defects. The nature of the
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 1: mind is such that it becomes at which it intensely
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 1: thinks of. Thus, if you think of the vices and
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 1: defects of another man, your mind will be charged with
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 1: these vices and defects, at least for the time being.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: He who knows this psychological law will never indulge in
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: censuring others or in finding fault in the conduct of others,
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 1: will see only the good in others, and will always
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: praise others. This practice enables one to grow in concentration, yoga,
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: and spirituality. Last thought determines next birth. The last thought
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 1: of a man governs his future destiny. The last thought
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: of a man determines his future birth. Lord Krishna says
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: in the Bag of Adgidah, whosoever, at the end abandoneth
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: the body thinking upon any being, to that being, only
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: he goeth o conti because of his constant thought of
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 1: that being. Ajamela lost his pious conduct and led a
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: detestable living. He fell into evil depth of sinful habits
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 1: and resorted to theft and robbery. He became a slave
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 1: of a public woman. He became the father of ten children,
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 1: the last of whom was called Narayana. When he was
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 1: about to die, he was absorbed in the thoughts of
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: his last son. Three fearful messengers of death advanced towards
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 1: a Jamela. A Jamela cried aloud in great distress, the
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 1: last son's name Narayana. On a mere mention of the
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 1: name of Narayana. The attendants of Lord Hari came speedily
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 1: along and obstructed the messengers of death. They took him
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: to Vikanta, or the world of Vishnu. The soul of
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 1: Sisuppula entered the Supreme Lord with an effulgent spark of
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 1: ineffable glory and magnificence. This vile Sisuppula spent his lifetime
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: in reviling Lord Krishna, and then he entered the Lord.
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 1: The worm on the wall, when stung by the wasp,
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: changes into the form of the latter. Similarly, the man
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: who focuses his hate on Lord Krishna gets rid of
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 1: his sins and reaches that Lord by regular devotion, as
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 1: the Gopies did by kama, passion, Campsa by fear, Sisuppula
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 1: by hatred, and Narada by love. Lord Krishna says in
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 1: the Gidah, whoever constantly thinks of me intensely and with
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 1: one pointed mind to such steadfast jogin I am easily attainable.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 1: And having thus reached me and merged in me, he
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 1: is not born again in the fleeting world of woe
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 1: and misery o ur Juna. While all the worlds created
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 1: by Brahma are limited by time and have their moment
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 1: of dissolution on reaching me, there is no rebirth. Therefore,
• 2:25:09
  Speaker 1: at all times, meditate on me, the Supreme Vasadeva, and
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: with mind and intellect fixed on me, doubtless you will
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 1: attain me Chapter eight Dash fourteen fifteen sixteen. The constant
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: practice of fixing the mind on the Lord, although a
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: man is engaged in worldly pursuits, will enable him to
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 1: intuitively and automatically think of the Lord even at the
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: time of his departure, the Lord says, with the mind
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 1: thus engaged in the yoga of constant practice, not deflected
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 1: by any other obstacles, one attains the supreme consciousness of
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 1: resplendent glory. The Lord further says, at the time of death,
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: he who thinks of my real being as the supreme
• 2:25:50
  Speaker 1: Lord Sri Krishna or Narayana, leaves the body and verily
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: reaches my being. Doubt this, not in whatever form a
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 1: man thinks of me at the time of death, that
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 1: form he attains, that form again being the result of
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 1: nourishing that thought in a particular groove and by constant
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 1: meditation of the same. The Lord further says, he who
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: further establishes his mind on me even at the time
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 1: of forthgoing, and who is in that divine state of
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 1: renouncing everything and of dwelling in Brahmin or Brahmic state,
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: is free from delusion. B g. Two, Dash seventy two.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: He who has a strong habit of using snuff in
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 1: his life imitates the act of snuffing with his fingers
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: when he is in an unconscious state just before his death.
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: So strong is the habit of snuffing in this man.
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 1: The last thought of a licentious man will be the
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: thought of his woman. The last thought of an inveterate
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 1: drunkard will be that of his peg of liquor. The
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 1: last thought of a greedy money lender will be that
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 1: of his money. The last thought of a fighting soldier
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 1: will be that of shooting his enemy. The last thought
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 1: of a mother who is intensely attached to her only
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 1: son will be that of her son only. Raja Barrata
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 1: nursed a deer out of mercy and became attached to it.
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 1: His last thought was the thought of that deer. Hence
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 1: he had to take the birth of a deer. But
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 1: he had memory of his last birth as he was
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 1: an advanced soul. The last thought of a person will
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 1: be the thought of God only if that person has
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 1: disciplined his mind all throughout his life and has tried
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 1: to fix it on the Lord through constant practice. It
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 1: cannot come by a practice in a day or two,
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 1: in a week or a month. It is a life
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 1: long endeavor and struggle. The last thought determines the next birth.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: The last prominent thought of one's life occupies the mind
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: at the time of death. The predominant idea at the
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 1: time of death is what in normal life has occupied
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 1: his attention most. The last thought determines the nature of
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 1: character of the body to be attained. Next, as a
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 1: man thinks, so shall he become the background of savig
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 1: pure thought. The vast majority of people will always want
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: something concrete to hold on, something around which, as it were,
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 1: to place their ideas, sometimes which will be the center
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: of all thought forms in their minds. That is mind's
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 1: very nature. A background of thought is needed for fixing
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 1: the mind. Have a satvig pure background of thought of
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 1: mental image. The mind assumes the shape of any object
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: it intensely thinks upon. If it thinks of an orange,
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 1: it assumes the shape of an orange. If it thinks
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: of Lord Krishna with flute in hand, it assumes the
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 1: shape of Lord Krishna. You must train the mind properly
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 1: and give it proper pure food for assimilation. You must
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 1: have pure background of thought to take you to the
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 1: goal salvation. If you are a devotee of Lord Krishna,
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: have a background of thought of his picture and the
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 1: repetition of his famous mantra O m Nammo bagaate vaced
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 1: of Aa and his qualities form formless qualities. A worshiper
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 1: of formless, a tribuli us god should have a background
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 1: of thought of oem and its meaning, infinite ocean of light, truth, consciousness, bliss,
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 1: all pervading, complete, infinite, self realized soul work in the world.
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 1: End the moment the mind is free, begin to think
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 1: of the background of thought, background according to taste, temperament,
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 1: and capacity for spiritual practice. By constant thinking, a habit
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 1: in the mind will be formed, and without effort, the
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 1: mind will run towards the background of thought. It is
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 1: a pity that the vast majority of persons have no ideal,
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: no program of life at all, and no pure background
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 1: of thought. They are doomed to failure. The background of
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 1: thought of a young married lady is usually lustful. The
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 1: background of thought of an old mother is the affection
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 1: towards her sons and grandsons. The background of thought of
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of persons is hatred and jealousy. Even
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: the so called educated persons with many university qualifications and
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: actos pandemic knowledge, which is only husk when compared with
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 1: spiritual knowledge, have no ideal, no program of life, and
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 1: no background of thought. A deputy collector, after getting pension,
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 1: marries a third wife and goes on as a dewan
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 1: of a state. A worldly minded person is a prey
• 2:30:16
  Speaker 1: to sexual thoughts and thoughts of hatred, anger, and revenge.
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: These two types of thoughts actually take possession of his mind.
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 1: He is a slave to these two sets of thoughts.
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 1: He does not know how to divert his mind and
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 1: fix it on some other good, noble thought. He does
• 2:30:34
  Speaker 1: not know the laws of thought. He is quite unaware
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 1: of the nature and suitable workings of the mind. His
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 1: position is extremely deplorable, despite his earthly possessions and bookish
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 1: knowledge obtained in universities Vivika, discrimination between real and unreal
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: has not awakened in him. He has no faith in saints,
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 1: sacred texts in God. He is unable to resist an
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 1: evil desire, craving or temptation on account of his weak will.
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 1: The only potent remedy to remove his world intoxication, world charm,
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 1: world delusion is constant association with truth and enlightened beings
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 1: or association with Sadu's sinyasins and mahatmas. After retirement, everybody
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: should have a background of thought and should spend his
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 1: time in philosophical studies and divine contemplation. Old habits of
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 1: loose thinking must be replaced by cultivating fresh habits of
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 1: good thoughts. At first, a tendency to think of good
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 1: thoughts will be formed. By continued practice, a positive, definite
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: habit of thinking of virtuous, helping thoughts will be developed.
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 1: You will have to struggle very hard. The old habits
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: will try to recur again and again till you are
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 1: firmly established in the habit of thinking of good thoughts.
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 1: Only you will have to fill the mind again and
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 1: again with pure thoughts, divine thoughts, thoughts of the Gidah,
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 1: Lord Krishna, lord Rama, who Panish, et cetera. New grooves
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 1: and avenues will be formed. Now, just as a gramophone
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 1: needle cuts a small groove in the plate, pure thinking
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 1: will cut new, healthy grooves in the mind and brain.
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 1: New sam scerre's mental impressions will be formed. You will
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 1: have concentration without much effort. He who has subdued his
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 1: mind beholds in his own self by the help of
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 1: his own pure intellect, the immortal eternal Brahmin, which is
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 1: subtler than the subtlest, which is an embodiment of bliss,
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 1: peace and wisdom. It is the contact of the sense
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: with the sense object that gives rise to a mental perception.
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 1: But if the senses are withdrawn and the mind is stilled,
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 1: there comes a stage where there is no touch with
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 1: any sense object. It is the state of bliss and
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: pure consciousness which burns all sam Scare's mental impressions that
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: give rise to birth and death. Attachment is death. You
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 1: are attached to body, action, wife, children, property, house, place,
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 1: and articles that give you pleasure. Wherever there is attachment,
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 1: there are anger, fear, and mental impressions. Attachment leads to bondage.
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 1: If you want to attain God realization, you must get
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 1: rid of all sorts of attachment. The first step in
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 1: detachment is to be detached from the body with which
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 1: you feel so much identified. The Sanskrit word for the
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 1: self is atman. Otman is derived from the root at
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 1: which means to go always Oughtman thus means that which
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 1: evolves itself always into names and forms of the universe.
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 1: In order to realize is real essential nature, which is existence, consciousness, bliss, absolute,
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 1: the pure consciousness, and freedom of thoughts. Through constant and
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 1: intense practice of yoga and Jnana Sodana's spiritual practice for
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 1: acquiring knowledge, you can become waveless thought free. The waveless
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 1: Yogi helps the world more than the man on the platform.
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 1: Ordinary people can hardly grasp this point. When you are waveless,
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 1: you actually permeate and pervade every atom of the universe,
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 1: purify and elevate the whole world. The names of waveless
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 1: nannis wise such as Jada, Barata and Vamadeva, are even
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: now remembered. They never published books, they never made disciples.
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 1: Yet what a tremendous influence these waveless nannis had produced
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: on the minds of the people. You can attain Nana
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 1: knowledge only if you are free from sensuous desires and
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 1: immoral mental states. Aloofness of body from sensuous objects and
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 1: aloofness of mind from a moral states of mind are
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: needed for the attainment of Jana knowledge. Then only will
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 1: divine light descend. Just as a bundalow is cleaned of
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 1: cobwebs and the garden of all its weeds for the
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 1: reception of the Viceroy, the mental palace should be cleansed
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 1: of all vices, desires, and immoral states for the reception
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Brahmin, the viceroy of viceroys. When a
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 1: desire arises in the mind. A worldling wellth comes it
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: and tries to fulfill it, but an aspirt renounces it
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 1: immediately through vivika discrimination between real and unreal. Wise people
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 1: consider even spark of desire as a very great evil.
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 1: Therefore they will not entertain any kind of desire. They
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 1: will be ever delightful. In Ottman only, thinking starts the
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 1: process of creation. Thinking means externalization or objectification. Thinking means differentiation, quality,
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 1: and multiplicity. Thinking is some sorrow cycle of birth, death
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 1: and rebirth. Thinking causes identification with the body. Thinking causes
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 1: inss and mindness. Thinking causes time space, et cetera. Stop
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 1: this thinking through verajaia, detachment and abhiahs a practice and
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 1: merge yourself in the pure consciousness where there is no thinking,
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 1: there is absolution or Javanmukti. Chapter nine, From thoughts to thought, Transcendence,
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 1: thoughts and life. Man thinks of sensual objects and gets
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 1: attached to them. He thinks that fruits are very good
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 1: for the body. He exerts to possess them. Then he
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: actually possesses and enjoys them. He now clings to the fruits.
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: He develops a habit of taking fruits now, and when
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 1: he fails to obtain them any day, he gets pain.
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 1: From thinking comes attachment from attachment. Desire is born from desire,
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: precedes anger. Anger arises when desire is frustrated by some
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 1: cause or the other. From anger arises delusion from delusion,
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 1: failure of memory from failure of memory, loss of intellect.
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 1: From loss of intellect, man is totally ruined. If you
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 1: want to attain everlasting peace, do not think of objects,
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 1: but think always of the immortal, blissful ottman alone. Desires,
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 1: by themselves are harmless. They are galvanized by the power
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 1: of thought. Then only they do much havoc. Man muses
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 1: or thinks on the objects of the senses, he imagines
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 1: that he will get a great deal of pleasure from them.
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 1: This imagination excites the desires. This power of imagination cooperates
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: with the desires. Then the desires are invigorated or vitalized.
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: They attack the deluded jeeva individual's soul vehemently. Thoughts and character.
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: Man is not a creature of circumstances. His thoughts are
• 2:37:32
  Speaker 1: the architects of his circumstances. A man of character builds
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: a life out of circumstances. He steadily perseveres and plots.
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 1: He does not look back. He marches forward bravely. He
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 1: is not afraid of obstacles. He never frets and fumes.
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 1: He never gets discouraged and disappointed. He is full of vigor, energy,
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 1: vim and vitality. He is ever zealous and enthusiastic. Thoughts
• 2:38:03
  Speaker 1: are the bricks with which character is built. Character is
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 1: not born, it is formed. Determination to build definite character
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 1: in life is needed. This must be followed up with
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 1: persistent striving. Build your character. You can shape your life.
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 1: Character is power. It is influence. It makes friends, It
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 1: draws patronage and support. It creates friends and funds. It
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 1: opens a sure and easy way to wealth, honour, success,
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: and happiness. Character is the determining factor in victory and defeat,
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 1: success and failure, and in all the issues of life.
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 1: A man of good character enjoys life here in and hereafter.
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 1: Small kind acts, small courtesies, small consideration, small benevolence, habitually
• 2:38:55
  Speaker 1: practiced in your social intercourse give a great charm to
• 2:38:58
  Speaker 1: your character than great platform lecture, discourses, oration, exhibition of talents,
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 1: et CETERA strong character is formed by strong and noble thinking.
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 1: A good Character is the fruition of personal exertion. It
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 1: is the result of one's own endeavors. It is not
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 1: wealth or power, nor is it mere intellect that governs
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 1: the world. It is moral character associated with moral excellence,
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 1: that really rules the entire universe. Nothing in this world, wealth, name, fame,
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 1: victory is worth a fig or a straw. Without character.
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 1: Character must stand behind and back up everything. And character
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 1: is built by your thoughts, thoughts and words. There is
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 1: power in every word that is spoken. There are two
• 2:39:47
  Speaker 1: kinds of ritties or thoughts viz. Sactivritty and lectionovrity. In words.
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 1: In the Upanishads, the electionovrity is taken vitis verapohem does
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 1: not mean embodiment vedas the election avrity does denote Brahman,
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 1: who can be reached by the study of the Upanishads alone,
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 1: by the Sabdapramana alone. Mark here the power in the words.
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 1: If anyone calls another Salah or badmash or fool, he
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 1: is thrown into a state of fury. Immediately fight ensues.
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 1: If you address anyone as bug Vaughan or Prabu or Maharaj,
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 1: he is immensely pleased. Thoughts and actions thoughts are dormant
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 1: seeds of action. The mind's acts, and not the bodily acts,
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 1: are alone true acts. It is the actions of the
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 1: mind that are truly termed Karmas thought and act are interdependent.
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 1: There is no such thing as mind. Apart from thought.
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 1: Thoughts constitute the mind. Words are nothing but the outward
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 1: expressions of thoughts, which are imperceptible. Actions are caused by
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 1: feelings of desire and aversion, likes and dislike. These feelings
• 2:41:01
  Speaker 1: are caused by the fact that you attribute a pleasurable
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 1: or painful nature to objects. Thought is finite. It is
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 1: inadequate to express even temporal processes, not to speak of
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 1: the absolute, which is inexpressible. The body, with its organs,
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 1: is no other than the mind. Thoughts peace and strength, Fewer,
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 1: the desires lesser, the thoughts become absolutely desireless. The weal
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 1: of mind will stop entirely if you reduce your wants.
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 1: If you do not try to fulfill your desires, if
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 1: you try to eradicate your desires one by one, your
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 1: thoughts will diminish in frequency and length. The number of thoughts,
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 1: also permitted, will diminish. Fewer, the thoughts greater, the peace.
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 1: Remember this always, a wealthy man who is engaged in
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 1: speculation in a big city and who has a large
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 1: number of thoughts, has a restless mind in spite of
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 1: his comforts, whereas a sot who lives in the cave
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 1: of the Himalayas and who is practicing thought control is
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 1: very happy in spite of his poverty. Fewer the thoughts,
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 1: greater the mental strength and concentration. Suppose that the average
• 2:42:12
  Speaker 1: number of thoughts that pass through your brain within one
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 1: hour is one hundred. If you succeed in reducing it
• 2:42:19
  Speaker 1: by constant practice of concentration and meditation to ninety, you
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 1: have gained ten percent of the power of concentration of mind.
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 1: Every thought that is reduced add strength and peace to
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 1: the mind. Reduction of even one thought will give mental
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 1: strength and peace of mind. You may not be able
• 2:42:37
  Speaker 1: to feel this in the beginning, as you do not
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 1: possess a subtle intellect, but there is a spiritual thermometer
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 1: inside to register the reduction of even a single thought.
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 1: If you reduce one thought, the mental strength that you
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 1: have gained by this reduction will help you to reduce
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 1: the second thought easily. Thought energy and sacred thoughts. Thought
• 2:42:58
  Speaker 1: is a finer manifestation of being than ether or energy.
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 1: You think because you share the universal thought. Thought is
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 1: both force and motion. Thought is dynamic. Thought moves. Thought
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 1: decides the future as you think, so you become. Thought
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 1: makes a saint or a sinner. Thought can shape a man.
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 1: Think that you are Brahmin, and brahmin you become. Sacred
• 2:43:26
  Speaker 1: thoughts generate and sustain divine thoughts. Thoughts of hatred interfere
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 1: with the inner harmony of the heart. Every useless thought
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 1: is wastage of energy. Useless thoughts are obstacles to spiritual growth.
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 1: Every thought must have a definite purpose. Negative evil thoughts
• 2:43:45
  Speaker 1: cannot overcome fear. Patience overcomes anger and irritability. Love overcomes hatred,
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 1: Purity overcomes lust. Mind is not daily made. In every minute,
• 2:43:58
  Speaker 1: it changes its color and shape thoughts that bind. Through
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 1: its power of differentiation, mind generates this universe. The expansion
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 1: of the mind's thoughts towards sensual objects is bondage. The
• 2:44:12
  Speaker 1: abandoning of the thoughts constitutes liberation. The mind creates at
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 1: the outset an attachment for the body in sense objects
• 2:44:20
  Speaker 1: and binds the man Through this attachment. The attachment is
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 1: due to the force of Raja's passions. Purity brings non
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 1: attachment and infuses in the mind discrimination and renunciation. It
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 1: is the roji sick passionate mind that causes the ideas
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 1: eye and mind and the difference of body, caste, creed, color,
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 1: order of life, et cetera. The poisonous tree of the
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 1: maaic illusion grows more and more out of the seed
• 2:44:47
  Speaker 1: of the mind's modification or expanded thoughts, in the soil
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 1: of the multifarious enjoyments of the world, from pure thoughts
• 2:44:55
  Speaker 1: to transcendental experience. Thoughts are of two kinds, thoughts and
• 2:45:00
  Speaker 1: impure thoughts. Desire to do virtuous actions, repetition of sacred mantra, meditation,
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 1: study of religious books, et cetera. Is pure thought. A
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 1: desire to go to cinema, to hurt others, and to
• 2:45:14
  Speaker 1: seek sex relations is impure thought. Impure thoughts should be
• 2:45:19
  Speaker 1: destroyed by the increase of pure thoughts, and pure thoughts
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 1: also should be given up. In the end, thoughts gain
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 1: strength by repetition of sensual enjoyments. Sensual enjoyments leave on
• 2:45:31
  Speaker 1: the mind subtle impressions. The real nature of mind is
• 2:45:35
  Speaker 1: purity only movement and inertia join satv purity accidentally in
• 2:45:41
  Speaker 1: the middle. They can be removed by sodena, spiritual practice
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 1: or purificatory practices such as discipline, selfless service, self restraint, tranquility,
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 1: repetition of sacred mantra, worship, et cetera. If you develop
• 2:45:56
  Speaker 1: the divine qualities, movement and inertia will perish. Then the
• 2:46:00
  Speaker 1: mind will be pure, subtle, steady, and one pointed. Then
• 2:46:05
  Speaker 1: it will melt in a subtle and visible, homogeneous brahmin.
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 1: It will mix with brahmin. Now, just as milk mixed
• 2:46:11
  Speaker 1: with milk, water with water, boil with oil. Thoughtless absorption
• 2:46:16
  Speaker 1: in ultimate reality will result. Raja yogic method for thought transcendence.
• 2:46:22
  Speaker 1: Substitute pure thoughts for impure thoughts. This method of substitution
• 2:46:27
  Speaker 1: will destroy all evil thoughts. This is very easy. This
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 1: is the method of Raja yoga. The method of driving
• 2:46:36
  Speaker 1: the thoughts at once by will force or by using
• 2:46:38
  Speaker 1: the formula get out Oh evil Thoughts is very taxing.
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 1: It is not suitable for ordinary people. It demands tremendous
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 1: will power and spiritual strength. You must rise above pure
• 2:46:51
  Speaker 1: thoughts and attain the supreme state of thoughtlessness. Only then
• 2:46:55
  Speaker 1: can you rest in your own real nature. Only then
• 2:46:59
  Speaker 1: will Brahmin be revere field like amuluka fruit in the
• 2:47:01
  Speaker 1: palm of your hand. Vidantic technique for thought transcendence. When
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 1: all kinds of useless thoughts and emotions trouble you much,
• 2:47:10
  Speaker 1: be indifferent. Say to yourself, who am I feel? I
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 1: am not the mind, I am the atman, the all
• 2:47:19
  Speaker 1: pervading spirit, purity, truth, consciousness, bliss. How can emotions affect me?
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 1: I am unattached, I am witness of these emotions. Nothing
• 2:47:30
  Speaker 1: can disturb me. When you repeat these suggestions of vicarous
• 2:47:34
  Speaker 1: self realization or vedantic wisdom reflection, the thoughts and emotions
• 2:47:39
  Speaker 1: will die by themselves. This is the Jnana wisdom method
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 1: of driving out thoughts and emotions and the struggling with
• 2:47:46
  Speaker 1: the mind. When any thought arises in the mind, inquire
• 2:47:50
  Speaker 1: why has this writty modification or risen? Whom it concerns?
• 2:47:56
  Speaker 1: Who am I? All the thoughts will die Eventually, all
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 1: mental activities will cease, The mind will turn inward, it
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 1: will rest in aughtman. This is vedantic wisdom spiritual practice.
• 2:48:11
  Speaker 1: You will have to persist constantly in the spiritual practice.
• 2:48:15
  Speaker 1: Whatever stray thoughts arise. The one thought who am I,
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 1: will destroy all other thoughts of worldly nature. That thought
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 1: will die by itself, Ego will vanish. Balance. Left is
• 2:48:28
  Speaker 1: absolute existence, pure consciousness, transcendental reality, pure consciousness, supreme awareness,
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 1: pure ether, which is free from all names and forms,
• 2:48:38
  Speaker 1: free from actions, desires, activity, and form, which is peaceful, auspicious,
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 1: nondual nature of reality that is oughtman, that is to
• 2:48:49
  Speaker 1: be known. Chapter ten, The Metaphysics of thought power, thought
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 1: power and practical idealism, Part One. Man goes from bad
• 2:48:59
  Speaker 1: to worse in the scale of life. He does not
• 2:49:02
  Speaker 1: put his total strength in fit action, so he does
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 1: not have the richest return of wisdom. Man is tormented
• 2:49:08
  Speaker 1: by imperfections. Grudges are foaming in his mind because his
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 1: life is not flowing with right energy. The love of
• 2:49:16
  Speaker 1: me is ever ready to accuse the other party. Objects
• 2:49:20
  Speaker 1: of the objective world are delicious torments for him. Still,
• 2:49:24
  Speaker 1: the man wants to stand on the firm basis of
• 2:49:27
  Speaker 1: personal feelings. Torn by his personal passions, he is unable
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 1: to establish proper and harmonious relations with others. He is
• 2:49:36
  Speaker 1: always seeking his private felicity in every circumstance. Alter of
• 2:49:41
  Speaker 1: truth demands the ablations of mental rigidity, harshness, self assertion, eccentricity,
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 1: in egoism. Train yourself for that truth which knows no partiality,
• 2:49:51
  Speaker 1: no sex, no wandering gleam, O man, There is stain
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 1: of error in daily experiences of man. That is why
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 1: his life is defaced and disfigured. Men have become vinegar
• 2:50:04
  Speaker 1: for each other's eyes by their wrong thoughts. The ice
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 1: of ill will is chilling their heart. Men are bound
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 1: to each other by every sort of tie, by blood,
• 2:50:14
  Speaker 1: by pride, by fear, by hope, by lucre, by lust,
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 1: by hate, by admiration, by every circumstance, but not by
• 2:50:23
  Speaker 1: spiritual love. This is all due to wrong thoughts. The
• 2:50:28
  Speaker 1: wise man makes an island which no flood can overwhelm.
• 2:50:32
  Speaker 1: The scent of flowers does not travel against the wind,
• 2:50:35
  Speaker 1: but the odor of a wise man travels against the wind.
• 2:50:38
  Speaker 1: He pervades every place by his thoughts. He is like
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 1: a snowy mountain which can be seen from afar, O man.
• 2:50:46
  Speaker 1: If you fill your lamp with water, you will not
• 2:50:48
  Speaker 1: be able to dispel the darkness. Feed your lamp with
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 1: the oil of right thoughts. Let the right views become
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 1: the torch to light your way. Do not seek to
• 2:50:59
  Speaker 1: gratify your vanity and self seeking pride. On the brink
• 2:51:03
  Speaker 1: of truth. Man is miserably dying. All evil thoughts are
• 2:51:07
  Speaker 1: embodied in bad physiognomies. But there is nothing to despair,
• 2:51:12
  Speaker 1: because there is never darkness without light. There is always
• 2:51:15
  Speaker 1: a sublime answer to every human need. All things are
• 2:51:19
  Speaker 1: possible to those who believe in the possibility. Oh man,
• 2:51:24
  Speaker 1: raise your sight to right direction and use right laws.
• 2:51:28
  Speaker 1: Set in motion positive thoughts. Remember your objective. It is
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 1: easy to be diverted into an excursion into sidetracks. A
• 2:51:38
  Speaker 1: holy thought is a voice. It speaks when the tongue
• 2:51:42
  Speaker 1: is silent. It struggles and comes out of all obstructions serenely,
• 2:51:46
  Speaker 1: and no power on the earth can suppress it for
• 2:51:48
  Speaker 1: a long period. Oh man, Do not trade in unrealities.
• 2:51:55
  Speaker 1: Do not try to embrace happiness in a thousand ways.
• 2:51:59
  Speaker 1: The faster you you will follow it, the swifter it
• 2:52:01
  Speaker 1: will fly from you. Do not become a thorn for
• 2:52:04
  Speaker 1: yourself as well as for others. Change the direction of
• 2:52:08
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. Scrutinize your thoughts. Where necessity ends, curiosity begins.
• 2:52:15
  Speaker 1: No sooner you are supplied with everything than you sit
• 2:52:18
  Speaker 1: down and entertain the thoughts of artificial appetites. That is
• 2:52:23
  Speaker 1: why you have crossed the boundary of law. By your
• 2:52:26
  Speaker 1: own thoughts, you make or mar your world. Inevitable law
• 2:52:30
  Speaker 1: of reaction is such o man, that whatever you will
• 2:52:34
  Speaker 1: harbor in the inmost chamber of your heart will shape
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 1: itself in your outward life. Chance seems to form the
• 2:52:40
  Speaker 1: surface of reality, but deep down thought forces are at work.
• 2:52:45
  Speaker 1: Nothing in this universe and in daily behavior, is merely accidental.
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 1: So improve your thoughts. Real action is in silent moments.
• 2:52:56
  Speaker 1: Purified thought revives the entire manner of life. It tells
• 2:52:59
  Speaker 1: the man and quietly you have done thus, but it
• 2:53:02
  Speaker 1: were better done some other way. The thoughts you entertain
• 2:53:05
  Speaker 1: during the time of reflection, let them not become inaudable
• 2:53:08
  Speaker 1: when you are engrossed in daily duties. Arm yourself with
• 2:53:12
  Speaker 1: the sublime thoughts. By no other way does one come
• 2:53:16
  Speaker 1: directly to the knowledge of truth than through one's own
• 2:53:19
  Speaker 1: thinking and experience. Divine thought reduces centuries and makes itself
• 2:53:24
  Speaker 1: present through all ages. Entertain divine thoughts. Thought, power and
• 2:53:30
  Speaker 1: practical idealism Part two. Wash off the baser thoughts with
• 2:53:34
  Speaker 1: the help of higher thoughts, and when the washing is effected,
• 2:53:37
  Speaker 1: cling to neither of them. The present state of your
• 2:53:40
  Speaker 1: experience is due to the thinking, feeling, and acting of
• 2:53:44
  Speaker 1: incalculable past lives. It cannot be easily got rid of
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 1: without prolonged process of thinking of and practice. Thought is
• 2:53:52
  Speaker 1: ancestor of action. If you want to improve your actions,
• 2:53:56
  Speaker 1: purify your thoughts, become a staunch believer in self reliance
• 2:54:01
  Speaker 1: and self effort. You can determine your fate by force
• 2:54:04
  Speaker 1: of thoughts. As clouds are the main source of rain,
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 1: so the control of one's own thoughts is the source
• 2:54:11
  Speaker 1: of durable prosperity. You are yourself your own friend or enemy.
• 2:54:16
  Speaker 1: If you will not save yourself by cherishing good thoughts,
• 2:54:19
  Speaker 1: there is no other remedy. Mind is the only creator.
• 2:54:24
  Speaker 1: Everything is created through the mind. It is absolutely free
• 2:54:28
  Speaker 1: in creating a world for itself. Whenever the mind is
• 2:54:32
  Speaker 1: referred to as the creator of external objects, it must
• 2:54:35
  Speaker 1: be considered as the cosmic mind and a part of
• 2:54:38
  Speaker 1: creation by Supreme God. Whenever the mind is referred to
• 2:54:42
  Speaker 1: in relation to psychological functions such as love and hatred,
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 1: et cetera, it must be considered as the individual mind
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 1: and as a part of creation by individual soul. O Man,
• 2:54:54
  Speaker 1: The real God lives in your heart, and the only
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 1: way to worship the real God residing within the temple
• 2:54:59
  Speaker 1: of your body is by your own sublime thoughts. Stop
• 2:55:03
  Speaker 1: the psychological functions of your mind, and see value only
• 2:55:06
  Speaker 1: in sublime thoughts. The nature of things around you is
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 1: as you think it to be. Your life is what
• 2:55:13
  Speaker 1: you make it by your thoughts. Thoughts are the bricks
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 1: by which you have built the building of your personality.
• 2:55:19
  Speaker 1: Thought determines destiny. The world around you is the reflex
• 2:55:23
  Speaker 1: of your thoughts. You experience as you think. Your own
• 2:55:28
  Speaker 1: imagination plays havoc with you. You have made yourself timid
• 2:55:32
  Speaker 1: by entertaining the thoughts of fear. Do not become liberal
• 2:55:36
  Speaker 1: in imagination. You are affected by things only in accordance
• 2:55:41
  Speaker 1: with your idea about them. The mind sees value only
• 2:55:44
  Speaker 1: in that in which it has intense faith. Though all
• 2:55:48
  Speaker 1: of you see the same object, every one of you
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 1: attached to it different values according to your mental propensities.
• 2:55:54
  Speaker 1: You think. Thought is a creative instrument, and man becomes
• 2:55:59
  Speaker 1: what he thinks upon character is thought formed. You are
• 2:56:03
  Speaker 1: born with what you have thought upon and your present
• 2:56:06
  Speaker 1: character is an index of your previous thoughts. You create
• 2:56:10
  Speaker 1: your future by your thoughts. Now, if you think nobly,
• 2:56:13
  Speaker 1: you will be noble in conduct. If you think basely,
• 2:56:16
  Speaker 1: no environment will make you different. Thus, thoughts and actions
• 2:56:21
  Speaker 1: are interdependent. Be vigilant and allow only good thoughts in
• 2:56:25
  Speaker 1: your mental field. Every one of you have a different
• 2:56:28
  Speaker 1: conception of duty, value, enjoyment, and liberation. In accordance with
• 2:56:33
  Speaker 1: your different convictions, you strive after your own ideal. You
• 2:56:38
  Speaker 1: work in accordance with your long standing and intensified thought
• 2:56:41
  Speaker 1: and belief. You accomplish and achieve the object of your
• 2:56:45
  Speaker 1: own desire. Do not let your mind become denser and
• 2:56:49
  Speaker 1: denser by allowing it to be engrossed in gross forms.
• 2:56:52
  Speaker 1: Follow the abstractive process by cherishing the thoughts of virtue.
• 2:56:57
  Speaker 1: Your present life has three aspects, physical, mental, and spiritual.
• 2:57:02
  Speaker 1: You are tenaciously attached to the physical aspect. Be above
• 2:57:07
  Speaker 1: physical sensations and other appetites by cherishing the thoughts that
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 1: you are not body alone, that you are residing in
• 2:57:13
  Speaker 1: the temple of a body for a short period only.
• 2:57:16
  Speaker 1: Be above mental titillations. Subjective action functions in the world
• 2:57:21
  Speaker 1: of thought send out a steady stream of thought and
• 2:57:25
  Speaker 1: goodwill to all creation. The energizing motive behind every thought
• 2:57:30
  Speaker 1: should be service and friendliness. You are sensible of nak
• 2:57:34
  Speaker 1: skill and tricks, but there is an overpowering law which
• 2:57:37
  Speaker 1: confutes your tricky thoughts and talents. So do not try
• 2:57:41
  Speaker 1: to become partial half light. This law constrains everyone to
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 1: pass for what he is. His thoughts speak from his
• 2:57:49
  Speaker 1: character and not from his tongue. Do not try to
• 2:57:52
  Speaker 1: put on an artificial personality. Be genuine and clean in
• 2:57:56
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. The stream of thought flows in both directions.
• 2:58:01
  Speaker 1: When it is flowing towards good, it makes for freedom
• 2:58:04
  Speaker 1: and knowledge. When it is flowing towards the whirlpool of
• 2:58:08
  Speaker 1: existence downward towards non discrimination, it is then flowing towards evil.
• 2:58:14
  Speaker 1: The thinking faculty reaches its summit in light when it
• 2:58:17
  Speaker 1: acts according to ethical rules. You are the center of
• 2:58:21
  Speaker 1: individual willing, individual thinking, and individual feeling. The enchantment of
• 2:58:26
  Speaker 1: time and place presents before you heavenly scenes which vanish
• 2:58:29
  Speaker 1: like optical illusions. You have repeatedly allowed yourself to be
• 2:58:34
  Speaker 1: mocked by them. That is why your chest is sawed
• 2:58:36
  Speaker 1: by the friction of size. Your discriminative power is dried
• 2:58:39
  Speaker 1: up by the fire of knowledge. The spiritual goal is
• 2:58:43
  Speaker 1: held before you. How quickly or how slowly you move
• 2:58:47
  Speaker 1: towards it will depend on your thoughts. Stand united with
• 2:58:51
  Speaker 1: your higher thoughts, you will achieve that goal, which is
• 2:58:55
  Speaker 1: bought by many failures. Become a non seeker of personal
• 2:58:59
  Speaker 1: ends and claes. Glory. Death will not easily come near
• 2:59:03
  Speaker 1: you if you will not wear on your bosom the
• 2:59:05
  Speaker 1: necklace of vicious thoughts. The bliss that accrues from the
• 2:59:08
  Speaker 1: culture of mind surpasses even the prosperity of the three worlds,
• 2:59:12
  Speaker 1: or possession of all kinds of jewels, or acquisition of
• 2:59:15
  Speaker 1: high office. Your mind is omnipotent. It is capable of
• 2:59:20
  Speaker 1: accomplishing everything as you imagine within your mind. So things
• 2:59:25
  Speaker 1: happen forthwith whatever is intensely thought by your mind that
• 2:59:29
  Speaker 1: comes to be materialized and affected. Your thought is endowed
• 2:59:34
  Speaker 1: with creative power. It can evolve objects from within itself.
• 2:59:39
  Speaker 1: It is the only creator. Nothing ever will be created
• 2:59:43
  Speaker 1: or recreated except through mind. Thought is the material out
• 2:59:47
  Speaker 1: of which things are made. All matter is but materialization
• 2:59:51
  Speaker 1: of consciousness. No other being is responsible for what you
• 2:59:55
  Speaker 1: acquire as everything is the consequence of your thought, because
• 2:59:59
  Speaker 1: of what what ever comes to you in life is
• 3:00:01
  Speaker 1: within you. No other agency can bestow favors on you
• 3:00:06
  Speaker 1: unless you deserve them. Whatever you get through others is
• 3:00:10
  Speaker 1: the outcome of your own thoughts and efforts. There is
• 3:00:13
  Speaker 1: nothing in the world which you cannot achieve when your
• 3:00:15
  Speaker 1: thoughts are flowing in the right direction. You should neither
• 3:00:19
  Speaker 1: become a pessimist nor a misanthrope. Creative power is the
• 3:00:23
  Speaker 1: privilege of every mind. Your own efforts, guided by your aspiration,
• 3:00:28
  Speaker 1: are the warp and woof of your destiny. Do not
• 3:00:31
  Speaker 1: possess a dissipated mind by cherishing weak thoughts. Superficial mind
• 3:00:36
  Speaker 1: cannot acquire depth of insight. Control the roving mind by
• 3:00:41
  Speaker 1: entertaining one flow of thought. All that is intensely thought
• 3:00:45
  Speaker 1: by you will come to you early or late, in
• 3:00:47
  Speaker 1: accordance with the effort you have put in to acquire it.
• 3:00:51
  Speaker 1: The extent of space, as well as the duration of time,
• 3:00:53
  Speaker 1: are relative to your thoughts and emotions. You experience as
• 3:00:58
  Speaker 1: you think. If a moment is imagined to be a
• 3:01:01
  Speaker 1: long period, it is experienced as such, and vice versa.
• 3:01:05
  Speaker 1: The same period of time is experienced as a long
• 3:01:08
  Speaker 1: age when you are in trouble, and as a moment
• 3:01:10
  Speaker 1: when you are happy. Such is the power of thought
• 3:01:13
  Speaker 1: that sweet is experienced as bitter, and vice versa. By
• 3:01:17
  Speaker 1: intense thought, you can turn poison into nectar. Think of Mirah.
• 3:01:23
  Speaker 1: She turned poison into nectar by her intensified thoughts. You
• 3:01:27
  Speaker 1: are surrounded by the forces of antagonism. But if there
• 3:01:31
  Speaker 1: are no thoughts of antagonism in you, you can easily
• 3:01:34
  Speaker 1: return a blessing for a curse. Thus you can control
• 3:01:38
  Speaker 1: all the forces of antagonism. Struggle hard and check the
• 3:01:42
  Speaker 1: unwonted mental rush. The world around you is only what
• 3:01:45
  Speaker 1: you believe it to be. Your perceptions are colored by
• 3:01:49
  Speaker 1: your thoughts. Your mind perceives and continues to perceive the
• 3:01:53
  Speaker 1: things in that very form in which it imagines it
• 3:01:56
  Speaker 1: to be. With full faith. Pierce through the steel armor
• 3:01:59
  Speaker 1: of bias thoughts and try to see the divinity in
• 3:02:02
  Speaker 1: every object. It is by thought alone that you get
• 3:02:05
  Speaker 1: into delusion, undergo the experience of birth and death, are
• 3:02:09
  Speaker 1: bound in the world, and become released from it. All
• 3:02:12
  Speaker 1: your states of happiness or misery in heaven or hell
• 3:02:16
  Speaker 1: are effects of your own thoughts. Early or late in
• 3:02:19
  Speaker 1: this life or lives to come, all your passing thoughts
• 3:02:22
  Speaker 1: will be realized. So discriminate nicely. Your present state has
• 3:02:28
  Speaker 1: been willed by your thoughts. You can change the present
• 3:02:32
  Speaker 1: state into another by your own thoughts. If you believe
• 3:02:35
  Speaker 1: that you are separate from the absolute, you are so.
• 3:02:39
  Speaker 1: If you think yourself to be Brahmin, you are so.
• 3:02:42
  Speaker 1: You limit yourself by your thoughts. With each divine thought,
• 3:02:46
  Speaker 1: the mind rends the thin rinds of the visible and
• 3:02:49
  Speaker 1: finite and comes out into eternity. But you are so
• 3:02:52
  Speaker 1: negligent about your mental factory thought. Power and Practical Idealism
• 3:02:57
  Speaker 1: Part three. Your destiny is mapped out by your thoughts.
• 3:03:02
  Speaker 1: You have only that much power as you imagine you have.
• 3:03:06
  Speaker 1: The world around you is as you have willed it
• 3:03:08
  Speaker 1: to be. You are living in an infinite ocean of
• 3:03:11
  Speaker 1: power and cheerfulness, but you appropriate only so much from
• 3:03:14
  Speaker 1: it as you think, believe, and imagine. Due to certain propensities,
• 3:03:19
  Speaker 1: you cherish certain thoughts, and you allow your mind to foment.
• 3:03:23
  Speaker 1: But by discrimination you can easily give up the fantasy
• 3:03:26
  Speaker 1: of mind. The limit of your thought is the limit
• 3:03:29
  Speaker 1: of your possibilities. Your circumstances and environments are the materialization
• 3:03:35
  Speaker 1: of your thoughts. The world experience rises or falls in
• 3:03:39
  Speaker 1: accordance with your thoughts. Whatever thought is cherished by you
• 3:03:43
  Speaker 1: in the world will be ultimately realized. Whatever a pure
• 3:03:47
  Speaker 1: mind strongly believes something to be that it soon becomes.
• 3:03:51
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts are powerful in proportion to your intensity, depth,
• 3:03:55
  Speaker 1: and warmth. They become so when they are being constantly
• 3:03:59
  Speaker 1: cherished over and over again. Constant thinking, desiring or imagining
• 3:04:04
  Speaker 1: of the same idea contributes much to the materialization of
• 3:04:07
  Speaker 1: that idea. Develop a pure mind, and whatever objects and
• 3:04:11
  Speaker 1: worlds you wish to get, you will gain those objects
• 3:04:14
  Speaker 1: and worlds. It is true that every thought you think
• 3:04:18
  Speaker 1: has its corresponding effect on the whole or some part
• 3:04:20
  Speaker 1: of human anatomy. The physical body is realized to be
• 3:04:24
  Speaker 1: subtle by means of constant meditation on its being. So
• 3:04:28
  Speaker 1: the mental or subtle body becomes physical when it is
• 3:04:31
  Speaker 1: repeatedly imagined. The secret of success is constant and repeated effort.
• 3:04:37
  Speaker 1: Develop strong determination. It is an important factor which will
• 3:04:42
  Speaker 1: contribute to the realization of your thoughts. There is nobody
• 3:04:46
  Speaker 1: who will be able to withstand the power of your
• 3:04:48
  Speaker 1: determined mind, you can realize everything. Your body is your
• 3:04:53
  Speaker 1: objectified thought. When your thoughts change, the body will also change.
• 3:04:59
  Speaker 1: The mind cre dates the body from the material of
• 3:05:01
  Speaker 1: your own thoughts. Thought is a force that can change, transform,
• 3:05:06
  Speaker 1: or at least modify almost anything in the human system.
• 3:05:10
  Speaker 1: The disorder and disharmony of the physical body is called
• 3:05:13
  Speaker 1: a physical disease, and the conflict of the mind is
• 3:05:16
  Speaker 1: called a mental disease. Both of them have their ultimate
• 3:05:19
  Speaker 1: root in ignorance and can be cured only by the
• 3:05:22
  Speaker 1: knowledge of reality. When you worry about the experiences of
• 3:05:26
  Speaker 1: the world, a depressing mental disturbance originates in your mind.
• 3:05:30
  Speaker 1: By the effect of mental disturbance, the smooth and regular
• 3:05:34
  Speaker 1: flow of vital currents is disturbed. When the vital currents
• 3:05:38
  Speaker 1: flow improperly, the knadi's energy channels within the body become disorganized.
• 3:05:43
  Speaker 1: Some of them get more vital energy and some get less.
• 3:05:47
  Speaker 1: Thus the whole system becomes out of order. In this way,
• 3:05:51
  Speaker 1: mental disharmony is the cause of physical diseases, which can
• 3:05:55
  Speaker 1: be cured only by removing the cause. Every depressing and
• 3:05:59
  Speaker 1: disturbing thoughts that enters your brain has a depressing effect
• 3:06:02
  Speaker 1: on every cell of your body and tends to produce disease.
• 3:06:06
  Speaker 1: All negative thoughts are forerunners of disease, and they are
• 3:06:10
  Speaker 1: messengers of death. If you want to live long and
• 3:06:13
  Speaker 1: lead a sensible and healthy life, cherish good thoughts. Subtle
• 3:06:17
  Speaker 1: and powerful are influences of the thoughts in building and
• 3:06:20
  Speaker 1: rebuilding of your body. Be vigilant practically. All diseases, with
• 3:06:26
  Speaker 1: their sufferings, have their origin in perverted mental and emotional
• 3:06:29
  Speaker 1: states and conditions. Restoration of mental harmony is absolutely necessary
• 3:06:35
  Speaker 1: for you. Purify your thoughts by performing noble actions and
• 3:06:39
  Speaker 1: by association with wise ones. When your thoughts are purified,
• 3:06:43
  Speaker 1: the vital currents will begin to flow properly and will
• 3:06:46
  Speaker 1: clean the whole system. Every good thought stimulates the heart,
• 3:06:50
  Speaker 1: improves the digestive system, and promotes the normal action of
• 3:06:54
  Speaker 1: every gland. Contentment is another name for the harmony of
• 3:06:58
  Speaker 1: the mind. When your thought thoughts do not wander to
• 3:07:01
  Speaker 1: this or that object, and when you feel self satisfied,
• 3:07:04
  Speaker 1: you are in a state of joy, which is unique.
• 3:07:07
  Speaker 1: If you are happy within, everything appears good and pleasing
• 3:07:10
  Speaker 1: to you. Thoughts are the main source of your cheerfulness.
• 3:07:15
  Speaker 1: Purify your thoughts, all troubles will be cured. If you
• 3:07:19
  Speaker 1: are cherishing peaceful thoughts, the whole world will appear cool.
• 3:07:23
  Speaker 1: But if negative thoughts have spread their kingdom, then the
• 3:07:25
  Speaker 1: world will seem to be a hot furnace. No circumstance
• 3:07:29
  Speaker 1: compels you to cherish evil thoughts. Do not ruin yourself
• 3:07:33
  Speaker 1: by your imagination of fate. It has no reality of
• 3:07:37
  Speaker 1: its own. Thought is able to reveal reality. Propelled by
• 3:07:42
  Speaker 1: right thoughts, the wise man is able to come out
• 3:07:44
  Speaker 1: of most dangerous situations. The whole reality is present in
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 1: its full potency everywhere, so whatever is intensely thought of
• 3:07:52
  Speaker 1: anywhere can be experienced there. The essential nature of all
• 3:07:56
  Speaker 1: objects is thoughts. Materiality is a wrong idea. As snow
• 3:08:02
  Speaker 1: melts in water through heat, so mind becomes settled through
• 3:08:05
  Speaker 1: the practice of right vision and positive thoughts. The real
• 3:08:09
  Speaker 1: action is thought only. It is really mental and not physical.
• 3:08:14
  Speaker 1: The physical action is only an external expression of the
• 3:08:17
  Speaker 1: real action, which is vibration of volition in the mind.
• 3:08:21
  Speaker 1: Your physical activities are only the various sides of mental activities.
• 3:08:26
  Speaker 1: As the beauty of a tree increases immensely in the
• 3:08:29
  Speaker 1: spring season, so also your strength, your intellect, and the
• 3:08:33
  Speaker 1: luster will increase in proportion to your positive thoughts. Thoughts
• 3:08:37
  Speaker 1: of the wise men are entirely different from the thoughts
• 3:08:39
  Speaker 1: of ordinary people. You are liberated in proportion to your
• 3:08:43
  Speaker 1: thoughts of indifference to the world. When thoughts of purity
• 3:08:47
  Speaker 1: emanate around you, eternal law begins to support you. You
• 3:08:52
  Speaker 1: are aware of your thoughts. You only know what has
• 3:08:55
  Speaker 1: come to pass in your own experience. In every one
• 3:08:58
  Speaker 1: of you, separately, has there risen the world of the
• 3:09:01
  Speaker 1: experience of the world. You have got a limited mind,
• 3:09:04
  Speaker 1: which is subject to various types of modes and circumstances.
• 3:09:09
  Speaker 1: Some thought seeds. True knowledge is spiritual consciousness. It is
• 3:09:14
  Speaker 1: awareness of one's real nature. Knowledge means right discernment or
• 3:09:19
  Speaker 1: correct evaluation, wisdom, and a perfect understanding of one's self
• 3:09:23
  Speaker 1: and of others. Right thought results in right action and
• 3:09:26
  Speaker 1: right life. Beauty is essentially spiritual. Real beauty lies in
• 3:09:32
  Speaker 1: one's heart. It is in one's character. Beauty dwells in purity,
• 3:09:38
  Speaker 1: Beauty shines in virtues. Love is a refined, innate sense
• 3:09:43
  Speaker 1: of oneness with the entire creation. Love is self denial, selflessness.
• 3:09:50
  Speaker 1: Love is sacredness of heart. Love is unrestrained good will, mercy, compassion,
• 3:09:56
  Speaker 1: and tolerance. Love is absence of sensuality. The body is
• 3:10:01
  Speaker 1: not everything. There is something which is vitally important which
• 3:10:05
  Speaker 1: dwells in the body. It is the spirit of man.
• 3:10:09
  Speaker 1: Though identical with the cosmic spirit, it is individualized by
• 3:10:13
  Speaker 1: the karmas of the individual's soul. The body passes away,
• 3:10:17
  Speaker 1: the spirit lives. The individuality of the spirit is there.
• 3:10:21
  Speaker 1: As long as the body lasts, than it ought to
• 3:10:24
  Speaker 1: return back to and dissolve itself in its original source, unless,
• 3:10:27
  Speaker 1: of course, it is drawn back by its associated karmas
• 3:10:31
  Speaker 1: into another embodiment in order to reap them. Everything posseth away.
• 3:10:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing ever is to accompany man except his karmas when
• 3:10:40
  Speaker 1: the body is cast off. Hence, as long as man lives,
• 3:10:44
  Speaker 1: he should live amicably with love and good will towards all,
• 3:10:47
  Speaker 1: hurting no one in any manner, coveting no worldly riches,
• 3:10:51
  Speaker 1: with more of kindness and mental charity, forgiveness and tolerance,
• 3:10:55
  Speaker 1: with detachment to mundane objects, and dissociation of the ego
• 3:10:59
  Speaker 1: from one's action, while taking care to acquire no new karmas,
• 3:11:03
  Speaker 1: as one works out the already accomplished ones. With a
• 3:11:06
  Speaker 1: little of contentment, discrimination, devotion to God and self surrender
• 3:11:11
  Speaker 1: to his will, with a little of detachment and non
• 3:11:13
  Speaker 1: expectation of anything from anyone. With an attitude of prayerfulness
• 3:11:17
  Speaker 1: and abiding by the dictates of one's conscience, with unshakable
• 3:11:20
  Speaker 1: faith in one's spiritual principles and code of conduct and evaluation,
• 3:11:24
  Speaker 1: life becomes easier, worthier, and happier. If you have difficulties,
• 3:11:30
  Speaker 1: you should look to the cause first. The real troubled
• 3:11:33
  Speaker 1: lies in ignoring the cause. If the cause is remedied,
• 3:11:37
  Speaker 1: difficulties become less or rather accidental. The world is a
• 3:11:42
  Speaker 1: great school where people are given ample opportunities to mend
• 3:11:45
  Speaker 1: and mold themselves into better individuals. No one is born perfect.
• 3:11:51
  Speaker 1: There are possibilities for everyone to improve one's self. Trials
• 3:11:55
  Speaker 1: and difficulties ought to make one a better individual, rather
• 3:11:58
  Speaker 1: than create complexes and can strict the mind and heart.
• 3:12:02
  Speaker 1: Take shelter in great and noble thoughts, and obtain perfection.
• 3:12:06
  Speaker 1: Guru's grace is always with the disciple, unreserved and unconditioned.
• 3:12:11
  Speaker 1: It depends, however, on the self, discipline, faith and purity
• 3:12:15
  Speaker 1: of the disciple whether to make use of this grace
• 3:12:17
  Speaker 1: or not. Guru resides in the hearts of his disciples.
• 3:12:22
  Speaker 1: Some are aware of this and some are not. The
• 3:12:25
  Speaker 1: living presence of the Guru within is the best asset
• 3:12:28
  Speaker 1: of the disciple. Chapter eleven. Thought power for God realization.
• 3:12:34
  Speaker 1: Life an interplay of thoughts. The thought that you hold
• 3:12:38
  Speaker 1: will manifest in your life. If you are courageous, cheerful, compassionate, tolerant,
• 3:12:45
  Speaker 1: and kind, then these qualities will manifest in your physical life.
• 3:12:49
  Speaker 1: The only impurity of the mind is base thought and desire.
• 3:12:53
  Speaker 1: Guard your good thoughts as an alert watchman guards the treasury.
• 3:12:57
  Speaker 1: When there is not that I thought, then there will
• 3:12:59
  Speaker 1: be no other thing. Thought. Life is an interplay of thoughts.
• 3:13:04
  Speaker 1: Duality ceases when the mind stops its function. Thinking is
• 3:13:08
  Speaker 1: bound by the time factor. Thinking must cease. Then alone
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 1: you will attain the timeless. Be still, Let all the
• 3:13:17
  Speaker 1: waves of thought subside. In that stillness. When the mind melts,
• 3:13:22
  Speaker 1: there shines the self effulgent otman, the pure consciousness. Watch
• 3:13:27
  Speaker 1: the mind, watch the thoughts. Pursue serenity. Make your heart
• 3:13:33
  Speaker 1: a fitting abode for the Lord. Thought results in spiritual experience.
• 3:13:39
  Speaker 1: The molten gold which is poured into a crucible assumes
• 3:13:42
  Speaker 1: the shape of the crucible. Even so the mind assumes
• 3:13:46
  Speaker 1: the form of the object which it pervades. The mind
• 3:13:50
  Speaker 1: assumes the shape of any object it intensely thinks upon.
• 3:13:54
  Speaker 1: If it thinks of an orange, it assumes the shape
• 3:13:56
  Speaker 1: of an orange. If it thinks of Lord Chrishnan, it
• 3:14:00
  Speaker 1: assumes the form of Lord Krishna. You must train the
• 3:14:04
  Speaker 1: mind properly and give it proper pure food for assimilation.
• 3:14:08
  Speaker 1: Have a pure background of thought or mental image. The
• 3:14:12
  Speaker 1: same thoughts which are entertained by the man during the
• 3:14:15
  Speaker 1: day occupy his mind during dream. Also, if you have
• 3:14:19
  Speaker 1: purity and concentration, you can make the mind assume any
• 3:14:22
  Speaker 1: state you like. If you think of mercy, your whole
• 3:14:26
  Speaker 1: being will be saturated with mercy. If you think of peace,
• 3:14:30
  Speaker 1: the whole being will be pervaded with peace. It is
• 3:14:33
  Speaker 1: the mental state or attitude that determines the nature of
• 3:14:36
  Speaker 1: an action and brings its fruits. You may embrace your
• 3:14:40
  Speaker 1: mother or sister, or your wife. The action is the same,
• 3:14:44
  Speaker 1: but the mental state is different. Watch your state, ideas
• 3:14:48
  Speaker 1: and feelings always. Your state should always be pure. You
• 3:14:54
  Speaker 1: should always entertain Brahma state of the universal spirit. Watch
• 3:14:58
  Speaker 1: the state during the meditation. You need not watch the
• 3:15:02
  Speaker 1: breath the thoughts you create in your mind, and the
• 3:15:05
  Speaker 1: images you form in your daily life will help you
• 3:15:07
  Speaker 1: in making what you are or what you want to become.
• 3:15:11
  Speaker 1: If you constantly think of Lord Krishna, you will become
• 3:15:13
  Speaker 1: identical with the Lord. You will abide in Him forever
• 3:15:18
  Speaker 1: thoughts of God. Your mind must be empty of all
• 3:15:22
  Speaker 1: worldly thoughts. It must be filled with thoughts of God
• 3:15:26
  Speaker 1: and with nothing else. Keep your mind filled with good, divine, sublime,
• 3:15:31
  Speaker 1: lofty thoughts, so that there will be no room for
• 3:15:33
  Speaker 1: evil thoughts. Never speak any unnecessary word, Never allow any
• 3:15:39
  Speaker 1: unnecessary or vain thought to occupy your mind. Divine thoughts
• 3:15:44
  Speaker 1: for freedom from diseases. The best medicine or panacea for
• 3:15:48
  Speaker 1: all diseases and for keeping good health is the entertaining
• 3:15:52
  Speaker 1: of divine thoughts. The waves released by divine thoughts, by
• 3:15:56
  Speaker 1: praising of God, repetition of sacred mantra, and regular metaieation
• 3:16:00
  Speaker 1: will electrify, rejuvenate, vivify, energize the cells, tissues, nerves. Another
• 3:16:07
  Speaker 1: cheap and potent drug is to keep oneself always joyful
• 3:16:10
  Speaker 1: and cheerful. Study guided daily one or two chapters with meaning.
• 3:16:16
  Speaker 1: Keep yourself fully occupied, which is a remedy to keep
• 3:16:19
  Speaker 1: off thoughts of worldliness. Fill the mind with purity and
• 3:16:23
  Speaker 1: enjoy wonderful health and peace. Obtain an association with the wise.
• 3:16:28
  Speaker 1: Cultivate faith, serenity, truthfulness, courage, mercy, devotion, love, cheerfulness, confidence,
• 3:16:36
  Speaker 1: divine thought in divine virtues. Allow the mind to run
• 3:16:40
  Speaker 1: in the spiritual direction in divine grooves. Your mind will
• 3:16:44
  Speaker 1: be peaceful and generate harmonious vibrations. You will enjoy excellent
• 3:16:49
  Speaker 1: mental health and have no physical disease. Thought culture, by
• 3:16:53
  Speaker 1: knowledge and devotion. Sit in a solitary place and watch
• 3:16:57
  Speaker 1: your thoughts carefully. Allow the monkey mind to jump in
• 3:17:01
  Speaker 1: its own way for some time. After some time, it
• 3:17:04
  Speaker 1: will climb down. It will become quiet. Be a Sakshi
• 3:17:09
  Speaker 1: observer or witness of the menagerie of various thoughts in
• 3:17:12
  Speaker 1: the eternal circus or show. Become a spectator of the
• 3:17:16
  Speaker 1: mental bioscopic film. Do not identify with the thoughts. Take
• 3:17:22
  Speaker 1: an indifferent attitude. All thoughts will die by themselves, one
• 3:17:26
  Speaker 1: by one. Repeat mentally, Oh am I am Sakshi observer?
• 3:17:31
  Speaker 1: Who am I I am? Thoughtless? Otman? I have nothing
• 3:17:35
  Speaker 1: to do with these false mental pictures and thoughts. Let
• 3:17:39
  Speaker 1: them roll on. I have no concern with them. All
• 3:17:44
  Speaker 1: thoughts will perish. The mind will perish like the geless lamp.
• 3:17:49
  Speaker 1: Fix the mind on the form of Lord Hari or
• 3:17:51
  Speaker 1: Lord Shiva, or Lord Krishna or your Guru, or any
• 3:17:54
  Speaker 1: saint like Lord Buddha or Lord Jesus. Again and again,
• 3:17:59
  Speaker 1: try to call this mann image of the picture. All
• 3:18:02
  Speaker 1: thoughts will die. This is another method, the method of
• 3:18:06
  Speaker 1: bactas thoughts and yoga practice of mental quietude. Sit peacefully, discriminate,
• 3:18:15
  Speaker 1: dissociate yourself from thoughts and a mind which is the
• 3:18:17
  Speaker 1: thinking principle or entity. Identify yourself with the innermost self
• 3:18:22
  Speaker 1: and stand as a silent witness or sakshi. Gradually, all
• 3:18:27
  Speaker 1: thoughts will die by themselves. You will become one with
• 3:18:30
  Speaker 1: the supreme Self or Parabrahman. Continue the practice of mental quietude.
• 3:18:36
  Speaker 1: It does require, doubtless a direct effort to annihilate the mind.
• 3:18:41
  Speaker 1: You should annihilate the mental impressions first. Then alone you
• 3:18:45
  Speaker 1: will be able to do the Sodnas spiritual practice of
• 3:18:48
  Speaker 1: mental quiet vigorously without producing a tenuation of subtle desires
• 3:18:53
  Speaker 1: and attractions. No mental quiet or annihilation of the mind
• 3:18:57
  Speaker 1: is possible. Winning friends by practice of yoga, win friends,
• 3:19:02
  Speaker 1: and influence people. This Dale Carnegie principle is but a
• 3:19:06
  Speaker 1: leaf out of the ancient Indian volume on psycho Spiritual Science.
• 3:19:10
  Speaker 1: Practice yoga, the entire world will worship you. You will
• 3:19:15
  Speaker 1: unconsciously attract to yourself every living being, even gods, will
• 3:19:18
  Speaker 1: be at your beck and call, even among wild beasts
• 3:19:22
  Speaker 1: and bloody brutes. You will win friends, serve all love,
• 3:19:26
  Speaker 1: all unfold your inner powers through the practice of raja yoga.
• 3:19:31
  Speaker 1: Through the control and conquest of thought power. Through the
• 3:19:34
  Speaker 1: practice of yoga, you can make the whole humanity and
• 3:19:37
  Speaker 1: all living beings members of your own family. Through the
• 3:19:41
  Speaker 1: practice of yoga, you can overcome all difficulties and can
• 3:19:44
  Speaker 1: eradicate all weaknesses. Through the practice of yoga, pain can
• 3:19:49
  Speaker 1: be transmuted into bliss, death into immortality, sorrow into joy,
• 3:19:53
  Speaker 1: failure into success, and sickness into perfect health. Therefore, practice
• 3:19:59
  Speaker 1: yoga diligently the yogic state of thoughtlessness. Generally, there is
• 3:20:04
  Speaker 1: no genuine spiritual awakening in students. There is mere curiosity
• 3:20:09
  Speaker 1: for getting some psychic or yogic powers. That student is
• 3:20:13
  Speaker 1: far from God as long as he retains some hidden
• 3:20:16
  Speaker 1: desires for spiritual powers. Strictly observe the ethical rules. Transform
• 3:20:23
  Speaker 1: the worldly nature. First, if you become absolutely desireless, absolutely thoughtless,
• 3:20:29
  Speaker 1: absolutely fritiless. If the mental fluctuations are destroyed in Totokundalini
• 3:20:34
  Speaker 1: will ascend by itself without effort. Through the force of purity,
• 3:20:39
  Speaker 1: remove the dross of mind. You will yourself get help
• 3:20:42
  Speaker 1: and answer from within. Yogi of the developed thought power.
• 3:20:47
  Speaker 1: The yogi who has developed his powers of thoughts has
• 3:20:50
  Speaker 1: a magnetic and charming personality. Those who come in contact
• 3:20:54
  Speaker 1: with him are much influenced by his sweet voice, powerful speech,
• 3:20:58
  Speaker 1: lustrous eyes, brilliant complexion, strong healthy body, good behavior, virtuous qualities,
• 3:21:04
  Speaker 1: and divine nature. People derive joy, peace and strength from him.
• 3:21:10
  Speaker 1: They are inspired by his speech and get elevation of
• 3:21:13
  Speaker 1: mind by mere contact with him. Thought moves. Thought is
• 3:21:18
  Speaker 1: a great force. A yogi or sage can purify the
• 3:21:22
  Speaker 1: whole world with his powerful thoughts. Though he remains in
• 3:21:25
  Speaker 1: a solitary cave in the Himalayas, it is not necessary
• 3:21:29
  Speaker 1: that he should appear on the platform and deliver lectures
• 3:21:31
  Speaker 1: and discourses to help the people. Satva purity is intense activity,
• 3:21:37
  Speaker 1: the wheel that revolves very rapidly, appears to be at rest.
• 3:21:41
  Speaker 1: So is safa purity, So is a Safic pure man.
• 3:21:46
  Speaker 1: Thought boats to infinite strength. Life is a journey from
• 3:21:50
  Speaker 1: impurity to purity, from hatred to cosmic love, from death
• 3:21:54
  Speaker 1: to immortality, from imperfection to perfection, from slavery to freedom,
• 3:21:59
  Speaker 1: from diversity to unity, from ignorance to eternal wisdom, from
• 3:22:03
  Speaker 1: pain to eternal bliss, from weakness to infinite strength. Let
• 3:22:08
  Speaker 1: every thought take you nearer the Lord, Every thought further
• 3:22:10
  Speaker 1: your evolution. Chapter twelve, Thought Power for a New Civilization.
• 3:22:17
  Speaker 1: Pure thoughts and their impact on the world. The Western
• 3:22:20
  Speaker 1: psychologists and occultists lay great emphasis and stress on the
• 3:22:24
  Speaker 1: purity of thoughts. Thought culture is an exact science. One
• 3:22:29
  Speaker 1: should cultivate right thinking and should drive out all sorts
• 3:22:32
  Speaker 1: of vain and worldly thoughts. He who entertains evil thoughts
• 3:22:37
  Speaker 1: causes great harm unto himself and to the world at large.
• 3:22:41
  Speaker 1: He pollutes the thought world. His evil thoughts enter the
• 3:22:44
  Speaker 1: minds of others who live at a long distance. Because
• 3:22:47
  Speaker 1: thought moves with a tremendous lightning speed. Evil thoughts are
• 3:22:51
  Speaker 1: the direct cause for all sorts of diseases. All diseases
• 3:22:56
  Speaker 1: take their origin at first from an impure thought. Who
• 3:23:00
  Speaker 1: entertains good, sublime and divine thoughts does immense good unto
• 3:23:04
  Speaker 1: himself and to the world. Also, he can radiate joy, hope, solace,
• 3:23:09
  Speaker 1: and peace to his friends who live at a distance.
• 3:23:12
  Speaker 1: Thought power for worldwel Karma is action and also the
• 3:23:16
  Speaker 1: law of cause and effect. All kingdoms below the human
• 3:23:21
  Speaker 1: kingdom are mindless. Therefore they cannot generate thoughts. Further, they
• 3:23:27
  Speaker 1: have no idea of right and wrong, what ought to
• 3:23:29
  Speaker 1: be done and what ought not to be done, and
• 3:23:31
  Speaker 1: so they cannot create karma. Thoughts are solid things, more
• 3:23:35
  Speaker 1: solid than a lump of sugar candy. They have tremendous
• 3:23:39
  Speaker 1: force or power. Utilize this thought power carefully. It can
• 3:23:44
  Speaker 1: serve you nicely in a variety of ways. But do
• 3:23:48
  Speaker 1: not misuse this power at random. If you misuse this power,
• 3:23:52
  Speaker 1: you will have quick downfall or a terrible reaction. Utilize
• 3:23:57
  Speaker 1: it to help others. Thought power for cultivation of courage
• 3:24:01
  Speaker 1: and love. Destroy ruthlessly the fear thoughts, selfish thoughts, the
• 3:24:06
  Speaker 1: hate thoughts, lustful thoughts, and other morbid negative thoughts. These
• 3:24:11
  Speaker 1: evil thoughts induce weakness, disease, disharmony, depression, and despair. Cultivate
• 3:24:17
  Speaker 1: positive thoughts such as mercy, courage, love, and purity. The
• 3:24:22
  Speaker 1: negative thoughts will die by themselves. Try this and feel
• 3:24:27
  Speaker 1: your strength. Pure thoughts will infuse in you a new
• 3:24:30
  Speaker 1: exalted life. Sublime divine thoughts produce tremendous influence in the
• 3:24:35
  Speaker 1: mind and drive away evil thoughts and change the mental substance.
• 3:24:40
  Speaker 1: Mind is wholly changed into light by entertaining divine thoughts
• 3:24:44
  Speaker 1: thought power for an ideal life. Entertain loftiest thoughts. Your
• 3:24:50
  Speaker 1: character will be exalted. Your life will be noble and ideal.
• 3:24:55
  Speaker 1: But different people have different mental backgrounds. People very in
• 3:25:00
  Speaker 1: their capacities mental and intellectual, and in physical and mental
• 3:25:04
  Speaker 1: strength to do things. Therefore, each of you should have
• 3:25:07
  Speaker 1: an ideal which is suited to your temperament, your capacity,
• 3:25:11
  Speaker 1: and realize it with great enthusiasm and dynamic action. The
• 3:25:15
  Speaker 1: ideal of one person will not suit another. If one
• 3:25:19
  Speaker 1: keeps an ideal that he cannot realize, an ideal that
• 3:25:22
  Speaker 1: is beyond his reach and capacity, he will get disappointment.
• 3:25:26
  Speaker 1: He will give up his effort and become inactive. You
• 3:25:29
  Speaker 1: should have your own ideal you may realize at this
• 3:25:33
  Speaker 1: moment or after ten years with faltering steps. It does
• 3:25:37
  Speaker 1: not matter much. Everyone should endeavor his or her level
• 3:25:41
  Speaker 1: best to live up to this ideal. Your whole energy, nerve, force,
• 3:25:45
  Speaker 1: and will must be put in the realization of the ideal.
• 3:25:49
  Speaker 1: You can chalk out your own ideal yourself, according to
• 3:25:52
  Speaker 1: your own standard. If you are unable to do this,
• 3:25:55
  Speaker 1: have your guide and he will select for you the
• 3:25:57
  Speaker 1: ideal that is suitable to your capacity and standard. One
• 3:26:01
  Speaker 1: should not treat a man who has a low ideal
• 3:26:04
  Speaker 1: with contempt. He may be a baby soul who is
• 3:26:08
  Speaker 1: just crawling now in his moral or spiritual path. Your
• 3:26:12
  Speaker 1: duty is to help him in all possible ways in
• 3:26:14
  Speaker 1: the realization or accomplishment of his ideal. You should give
• 3:26:18
  Speaker 1: him all sorts of encouragement in his sincere endeavor to
• 3:26:21
  Speaker 1: live up to his own highest ideal. It is highly
• 3:26:25
  Speaker 1: deplorable to note that the vast majority of persons have
• 3:26:28
  Speaker 1: no ideal at all. Even educated persons do not cherish
• 3:26:32
  Speaker 1: any ideal. They lead an aimless life, and therefore are
• 3:26:36
  Speaker 1: drifted hither and thither like a piece of straw. They
• 3:26:40
  Speaker 1: make no progress in life. Is this not a very
• 3:26:43
  Speaker 1: sad plight? Highly lamentable? Indeed, it is very difficult to
• 3:26:48
  Speaker 1: get a human birth, and yet people do not realize
• 3:26:51
  Speaker 1: the importance of keeping up an ideal and living up
• 3:26:53
  Speaker 1: to the ideal. The idea of meat, drink and be
• 3:26:57
  Speaker 1: merry is adopted by the epicureans, the gluttons, and rich people.
• 3:27:03
  Speaker 1: This school of thoughts has countless followers, and the number
• 3:27:06
  Speaker 1: is increasing by leaps and bounds daily. This is the
• 3:27:09
  Speaker 1: ideal of the demon king. This is the ideal of
• 3:27:13
  Speaker 1: demons and anti gods. This ideal will lead a man
• 3:27:17
  Speaker 1: to the dark region of misery and sorrow. Blessed is
• 3:27:21
  Speaker 1: the man who elevates his thoughts, keeps up an ideal,
• 3:27:23
  Speaker 1: and struggles hard to live up to his own ideal,
• 3:27:26
  Speaker 1: for he will soon attain God consciousness, thought energy for
• 3:27:30
  Speaker 1: service and spiritual progress. Even as energy is wasted in
• 3:27:35
  Speaker 1: idle talk and gossiping, so also energy is wasted in
• 3:27:38
  Speaker 1: entertaining useless thoughts. Therefore, you should not waste even a
• 3:27:43
  Speaker 1: single thought. Do not waste even an iota of energy
• 3:27:47
  Speaker 1: in useless thinking. Conserve all mental energy. Utilize it for
• 3:27:52
  Speaker 1: higher spiritual purposes in divine contemplation, contemplation on brama and brama,
• 3:27:58
  Speaker 1: in query self realization, conserve all thought energy and utilize
• 3:28:02
  Speaker 1: it from meditation and helpful service to humanity. Drive away
• 3:28:07
  Speaker 1: from your mind all unnecessary, useless and obnoxious thoughts. Useless
• 3:28:12
  Speaker 1: thoughts impede your spiritual growth. Obnoxious thoughts are stumbling blocks
• 3:28:16
  Speaker 1: to spiritual advancement. You are away from God when you
• 3:28:20
  Speaker 1: entertain useless thoughts. Substitute thoughts of God. Entertain only thoughts
• 3:28:26
  Speaker 1: that are helpful and useful. Useful thoughts are the stepping
• 3:28:30
  Speaker 1: stones to spiritual growth and progress. Do not allow the
• 3:28:35
  Speaker 1: mind to run into the old grooves and have its
• 3:28:37
  Speaker 1: own ways and habits. Be on the careful watch. Help
• 3:28:42
  Speaker 1: the world by good thoughts. Like attracts like. If you
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 1: entertain an evil thought, that thought attracts all sorts of
• 3:28:50
  Speaker 1: evil thoughts from other people. You pass on those thoughts
• 3:28:54
  Speaker 1: to others. Also, thought moves. Thought is a living, dynamic force.
• 3:29:00
  Speaker 1: Thought is a thing. If you allow your mind to
• 3:29:04
  Speaker 1: dwell on a sublime thought, this thought will attract good
• 3:29:06
  Speaker 1: thoughts from others. You pass on that good thought to others.
• 3:29:11
  Speaker 1: You pollute the world with your bad thoughts. Thought power
• 3:29:15
  Speaker 1: and the conditions of a new civilization. Thought makes man.
• 3:29:20
  Speaker 1: Man makes civilization. There is a powerful thought force behind
• 3:29:24
  Speaker 1: every great event in life and in the history of
• 3:29:27
  Speaker 1: the world, behind all discoveries and inventions, behind all religions
• 3:29:32
  Speaker 1: and philosophies, behind all life saving or life destroying devices,
• 3:29:36
  Speaker 1: is thought. Thought is expressed in words and executed in deeds.
• 3:29:42
  Speaker 1: Word is the handmade of thought, and deed is the
• 3:29:44
  Speaker 1: end result. Hence the saying, as you think, so you become.
• 3:29:50
  Speaker 1: How to build a new civilization by generating a new
• 3:29:54
  Speaker 1: thought force. How to build a civilization that will ensure
• 3:29:58
  Speaker 1: the peace of mankind, the price prosperity of society, the
• 3:30:01
  Speaker 1: salvation of the individual, by generating a thought force that
• 3:30:05
  Speaker 1: will invariably result in man enjoying peace of mind that
• 3:30:08
  Speaker 1: will instill in his heart the divine virtues of compassion,
• 3:30:12
  Speaker 1: of service to his fellow men, love of God, and
• 3:30:15
  Speaker 1: of an intense desire to realize Him. If but a
• 3:30:18
  Speaker 1: fraction of the wealth and the time spent on wasteful
• 3:30:21
  Speaker 1: pursuits and destructive activities is devoted to the creation of
• 3:30:24
  Speaker 1: a good thought, there will be a new civilization right now.
• 3:30:28
  Speaker 1: Atomic and hydrogen bombs ICBM and a host of other
• 3:30:32
  Speaker 1: inventions drive mankind inevitably to destruction. They waste your wealth
• 3:30:37
  Speaker 1: they destroy your neighbors. They pollute the atmosphere of the
• 3:30:40
  Speaker 1: whole world, and generate fear, hatred, and suspicion in your heart.
• 3:30:45
  Speaker 1: The mind is unbalanced and the body is subjected to diseases.
• 3:30:49
  Speaker 1: Stop this trend. Promote research in spirituality, in religion, in
• 3:30:55
  Speaker 1: all the good things of life. Support the philosophers and saints,
• 3:30:59
  Speaker 1: the real benefactors of mankind. Encourage them in their study
• 3:31:03
  Speaker 1: of religion, researches in ancient spiritual literature, and the projection
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 1: of a great thought force for the good. Ban all
• 3:31:11
  Speaker 1: literature that pollutes the thoughts of the young. Flood the
• 3:31:15
  Speaker 1: young brain with healthy thoughts, ideas, and ideals. The man
• 3:31:19
  Speaker 1: who commits murder, the man who steals your purse, the
• 3:31:23
  Speaker 1: man who cheats you. Law punishes him, but this crime
• 3:31:27
  Speaker 1: is insignificant when compared to the crime committed by the
• 3:31:29
  Speaker 1: wicked intellectual who instills a wicked idea into the mind
• 3:31:33
  Speaker 1: of youth. He is the author of many murders that
• 3:31:36
  Speaker 1: take place on earth. He steals your greatest wealth viz. Wisdom.
• 3:31:40
  Speaker 1: He cheats you by presenting you with poison in the
• 3:31:43
  Speaker 1: name of sweet elixir. The law of the new civilization
• 3:31:47
  Speaker 1: will deal very severely with such Azurich demonic beings. The
• 3:31:51
  Speaker 1: new Civilization will give every encouragement to those who wish
• 3:31:54
  Speaker 1: to study philosophy, religion, and spiritual thought. It will make
• 3:31:59
  Speaker 1: their study compulsory in schools and colleges. It will award
• 3:32:03
  Speaker 1: scholarships to students of philosophy. It will confer prizes and
• 3:32:08
  Speaker 1: titles on those who conduct researches in religion and philosophy.
• 3:32:12
  Speaker 1: The deepest urgent man, the spiritual urge, will be given
• 3:32:16
  Speaker 1: the fullest scope to realize its goal. The fruits of
• 3:32:19
  Speaker 1: the new civilization are well worth all that everybody can
• 3:32:22
  Speaker 1: do towards building it up. In the new civilization, man
• 3:32:26
  Speaker 1: will want to lead a righteous life. He will be
• 3:32:28
  Speaker 1: eager to serve his fellow beings and share with them
• 3:32:31
  Speaker 1: what he has. He will love all, realizing that his
• 3:32:34
  Speaker 1: own self dwells in all. He will be devoted to
• 3:32:36
  Speaker 1: the welfare of all beings. What an ideal society it
• 3:32:40
  Speaker 1: will be, where people share with others all that they
• 3:32:43
  Speaker 1: possess and will serve everybody. Where will be the need
• 3:32:47
  Speaker 1: for taxes and duties in such a society in which
• 3:32:50
  Speaker 1: every one will voluntarily work for all? Where is the
• 3:32:53
  Speaker 1: need for police and the army. When people are devoted
• 3:32:56
  Speaker 1: to virtue, this then is the ideal towards this end,
• 3:33:01
  Speaker 1: Let everyone strive to generate a thought force. May God
• 3:33:05
  Speaker 1: bless you all.
