Thought Power by Will-power

[Guest guest]

Every sensual thought rejected, every temptation resisted, every harsh word

withheld, every noble aspiration encouraged, helps you to develop will-power or

soul-force and takes you nearer and nearer to the Goal.

 

With strong feeling, repeat mentally: " My will is powerful, pure and

irresistible. OM OM OM. I can do everything through my will. OM OM OM. I have an

invincible will. OM OM OM. "

 

Will is the dynamic soul-force. When it operates all the mental powers such as

the power of judgment, power of memory, power of grasping, power of

conversation, reasoning power, power of discrimination, power of reflection and

inference- all these come into instant play.

 

Will is the king of mental powers. When rendered pure and irresistible, thought

and will can work wonders. Will becomes impure and weak through vulgar passions,

love of pleasures and desires. The lesser the number of desires, the stronger is

the thought power, and the will. When sexual energy, the muscular energy, anger,

etc., are transmuted into the will-force they are controlled. There is nothing

impossible on earth for a man of strong will-power.

 

When you give up an old habit of drinking coffee, you have controlled to a

certain extent the sense of taste, destroyed one Vasana, and have eliminated the

craving for it. As there is freedom from the efforts to procure coffee and also

from the habit of taking it, you will gain some peace. The energy involved in

the hankering for coffee, and which was agitating you, will now be converted

into the power of will. By this conquest over one desire, you gain will-power;

and if you conquer some fifteen such desires, your will-power will be fifteen

times stronger and more powerful. And this conquest, by imparting strength to

the will, will help you conquer other desires, too.

 

Unruffled state of the mind, poise, cheerfulness, inner strength, capacity to

turn out difficult works, success in all undertakings, power to influence

people, a magnetic and dynamic personality, magnetic aura on the face, sparkling

eyes, steady gaze, powerful voice, magnanimous gait, unyielding nature,

fearlessness, etc., are some of the signs or symptoms that indicate that one's

will is growing.
