POSITIVE THINKING
THE WAY ONE THINKS, AFFECTS ONE'S BODY AS WELL AS MIND. POSITIVE THOUGHTS CALM THE MIND AND NEGATIVE FEELINGS AGITATE THE MIND. IF THERE ARE RIPPLES IN WATER THEN ONE CAN NOT SEE THE SURFACE OF LAKE BUT IF THE WATER IS STILL INE CAN SEE THE SURFACE OF LAKE CLEARLY. SIMILARLY WHEN MIND IS STILL AND NO THOUGHTS ARE ARISING THEN IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO PEEK INSIDE AND EXPERIENCE THE INNER SELF.
WHAT ONE MUSES DURINT THE WHOLE DAY AFFECTS THE MIND WHILE MEDITATING ! ONE HOUR OF MEDITATION IS AFFECTED BY THE THOUGHT PRODUCED IN ONE'S MIND THROUGHOUT TWENTY THREE HOURS! DURING THE WHOLE DAY, POSITIVE FEELINGS LIKE KINDNESS, TRUTHFULESSM HOSESTY, WILL HELP IN EASY CONCENTRATION OF MIND WHEREAS NEGATIVE FEELINGS LIKE STEALING DECEIVING, DISHONESTY WILL KEEP HAUNTING THE MIND EVEN DURING MEDITATIVE HOURS. NEGATIVE THOUGHTS STIR UP THE MIND. MIND BECOMES BUSY IN PRODUCING ONE BAD THOUGHTS AFTER ANOTHER WITH THE RESULT IT IS NOT CONCENTRATED ON ONE POINT. NEGATIVE THOUGHTS DRAIN OUT ONE'S PRECIOUS ENERGY AND DON'T ALLOW ONE TO STAY IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. ONE CAN VERY EASILY FALL PREY TO NEGATIVE THINKING. THE MORE ONE THINKS ABOUT THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. THE BIGGEST THEY GROW. ONE SMALL NEGATIVE THOUGHTS CAN TURN HUGE AND DO BLUNDERS. THAT'S WHY EVEN A SINGLE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS SHOULD BE CHECKED FROM ENTERING THE MIND.
SOMETIMES, A SINGLE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OF THE SAME FOREC AND INTENSITY ENTERS ONE'S MIND. AFTER THAT, THE NEEDLE TIP NEGATIVITY INCREASES ITS SIZE MAKING ONE'S LIFE HELL.
ONE SHOULD KEEP MOVING ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH OVERCOMING OBSTACLES COMING THE PATH. ONE SHOULD ENJOY THE JOURNEY ONE IS MOVING ON AND NOT ONLY THE DESTINATION. ONE SHOULD TAKE PLEASURE IN DOING THE WORK AND SHOULD NOT RELISH THE MERE REWARD. ONE SHOULD CONSIDER ONE'S TROUBLES AS A GIFT FROM GOD TO IMPROVE ONESELF AND TO MAKE ONE A BETTER PERSON.
THERE IS AN OLD SAYING 'AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP'. THE POSITIVE ACTIONS WILL GIVE POSITIVE FRUITS AND NEGATIVE WILL GIVE NEGATIVE RESULTS. NEGATIVE SITUATIONS ARISING IN THE FUTURE LIFE CAN DECREASED BY DOING POSITIVE DEEDS IN THE PRESENT. THEREFORE, ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE AND MAINTAIN POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ALWAYS DO GOOD DEEDS. ALWAYS FORM HIGH-QUALITY HABITS.
IN GENERAL THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PERSONS. IN FIRST CATEGORY, THOSE PERSONS WHO FEEL DEPRESSED AND LOW ARE COVERED. THEY ARE PESSIMISTIC. THEY EXTRACT POSITIVE ENERGY FROM THE ENVIROMENT AND SURROUNDINGS. IN SECOND CATEGORY ARE THE PERSONS WHO FEEL HAPPY AND SATISFIED IN ALL CONDITIONS. THEY ARE OPTIMISTIC.
OPTIMISTIC PERSONS ARE ALWAYS BUBBLING WITH POSITIVE ENERGY. SUCH PERSONS ALWAYS GIVE POSITIVE VIBES IN THE ENVIRONMENT THEY LIVE. ALWAYS TRY TO BE THE PERSONS OF SECOND CATEGORY - GIVER OF POSITIVE VIBES.
ONE SHOULD SPREAD POSITIVE AND GOOD THOUGHTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
MEDITATION IS NOT JUST SITTING WITH CLOSED EYES FOR HOURS IN A ROOM. NO, IT IS NOT MEDITATION. MEDITATION MEANS THAT YOU ARE TOTALLY INVOLVED IN WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING. IT MAY BE COOKING FOOD, IT MAY BE DOING YOUR OFFICE WORK OR IT MAY BE DOING SOCIAL SERVICE. FORGET YOURSELF IN DOING THAT TASK. AND WHEN YOU COME OUT OF IT YOU HAVE TO ERASE THE FACTOR. 'I' FROM IT. YOU HAVE TO WIPE OUT" I DID THE WORK' THIS IS WHAT MEDITATION MEANS TO BE COMPLETELY ABSORBED IN WORK WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE FACTOR "I". A SAINT EXPLAINED THE MEANING OF MEDITATION TO AN ELDERLY WOMEN. MAKER EVERY ACTION OF LIFE A PART OF MEDITATION. DO ALL THE CHORES THINKING THAT YOU ARE IN SERVICE TO GOD. YOU ARE DOING IT FOR YOUR VERY OWN GOD. AND YOU DO NOT WANT ANYTHING IN RETURN FROM GOD. OR YOU ARE DOING IF FOR THE WELFARE OF SOCIETY AND YOU DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN FROM THEM. OR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND OTHERS. MOREOVER YOU ENJOY ACTIONS OF LIKE YOU ENJOY MEDITATION. "HE PAUSED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND CONTINUED. WHATEVER YOU THINK BUT THERE SHOULD NOT BE " I FACTOR" OR THAT "I AM THE DOER OF THIS TASK" THINK THAT YOU ARE JUST A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THAT WORK IS DOING DONE".
