Surcharge Your Will Power Through Concentration

 

The way to become receptive is to sit quietly and concentrate your thoughts on a

worthy wish until your mind and thought become completely dissolved in that

idea. Then will power becomes divine -- omnicient and omnipotent -- and can be

successfully applied toward realising your goal. You can't jsut sit there and

wiat for success to fall into your lap; once your course is set and your will is

firm, you have to make a pracatical effort. Then you will see that whatever you

require for success starts coming to you. Everything will push you in the right

direction. In your divinely surcvharged will power is the answer to your prayer.

When you use that will, you open the way through which your prayers can be

answered. This is my experience. I used to attempt certain things just to test

my will power, but I don't do that anymore. I know it works.

 

Once, long ago, I saw that one of my students was going wrong. Foreseeing the

impending tragic results, I brought out every possible rason that might dissuade

him from the course his life was taking; but I saw that no amount of my will

power helped him, because he had made up his mind to follow the way of evil.

" All right " , I told myself finally, " it is 'good-bye'; let him go. " But soon my

great love and concern for him came to the fore again. I sat under a banyan tree

and began to visualise him. Fervently and repeatedly I broadcast to him a mental

mesage: " God has told me to command you to return. " By evening my body and mind

were ahtrill with the intuition that he was coming. (Great masters enjoy a

divine awareness that permeates the entire body. For example, their intuitive

perception of the wrong thoughts of a disciple may be felt physically, like

sharp pinpricks. Similarly, harmonious, happy intuitions are sometimes

accompanied by a pleasant tingling sensation) AT last, there he hwas at the

gage; the " prodigan son " had come back to the fold. He pranamed and said, " All

day long, whenever I went and whatever I didl, I beheld your image. What was it

all about? "
