Laws Implied in Higher Thoughts

[Guest guest]

As you think, so you become. As are your thoughts so must be your life. Improve

your thinking. Better thoughts bring better actions.

 

Mere thinking of the objects of this world is pain. Bondage is caused by the

very act of thought. Pure thought is a mightier force than electricity.

 

The mind which is attracted by objects of sense, tends to bondage, while that

which is not so attracted tends to emancipation. Mind is a dacoit. Slay this

mind-dacoit. You will be happy and free for ever. Manifest all your strength in

the task of conquering your mind. This is true manliness or Purushartha.

 

Self-denial is a means to the purification and refinement of mind. Purify and

still the thoughts. The layers of ignorance covering knowledge, will not be

removed without a calm mind.

 

The subtle part of food forms the mind. Mind is manufactured out of food. The

subtle part of food is transformed into mind. Food does not mean merely what we

eat, but what we gather through all our senses.

 

Learn to see God everywhere. This is real food for the eye. Purity of thought

depends upon purity of food. You can see better, hear better, taste better,

think better, when you entertain sublime divine thoughts.

 

Look at an object through a green or red glass; the object appears green or red.

Even so, the objects are coloured by the desires through the mirror-mind. All

mental states are transitory; they produce pain and sorrow.

 

Have freedom of thought. Free yourself from the slavery of prejudice that blunts

intellect and dulls thoughts. Think of the immortal Atman. This is the right

method of direct, original thinking. The Atman reveals Itself after the

purification of thoughts. When the mind is serene without any want, without any

motive, without any craving or desire or thought, without any compulsion,

without hope, then the supreme Atman shines. There is the experience of Bliss.

Live the way in which saints live. This is the only way to victory over

thoughts, mind and the lower self and until you have conquered mind, there can

be no sure and permanent victory.
