Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Dear all, This is a small story about the importance of positive thinking. Once a man was travelling in the hot sun and he got really tired and hungry. He saw a big Banyan tree and was happy to rest under the tree. While he was resting and enjoying the cool breeze, he thought: I wish I had some delicious food. Soon, a lady came by that way and offered some food to him as prasaadam. He really enjoyed and ate to his satisfaction. He thanked the lady and was lying down on the hard surface of the ground. Then he thought: I wish I had a nice thick mat to sleep on. Seeing him lying on the ground, the same lady who fed him felt sympathy and went home and brought a mat for him. So he was very happy and tried to get some sleep in the nice breeze. His legs were tired and he thought: I wish I had somebody to massage my tired legs. Then the same lady felt sympathy sent her daughter to massage his tired legs. She went home after some time. Then he thought: I am lying down not very far from the forest. What if a tiger comes and attacks me during my sleep! Oh God! exactly that is what happened. A tiger came, attacked him and killed him. This seems like a silly story, but conveys a great message to us: " What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of? " In an article published by Iswariya viswa vidyaalaya, three important advises are given to us: 1. The quality of our thoughts decide the quality of the outcomes we land up with. 2. Thoughts have the power to materialize themselves because they are instrumental in channeling energy towards the physical or mental condition they are about. 3. External situations and the remarks of others can harm us through our thoughts - but only to the extent our thoughts allow them to. So think positive.
