WHAT MY LIFE TAUGHT ME?

 

     There are numerous secrets governing our lives. What we know about our lives either by religion or by science are negligible. So there is need for each one to record his out of normal experiences which may give additional clues on life. One such out of normal experience is also mine. I have already recorded my experiences. I like the conclusions of my experiences to be recorded also.

     We are connected to God and the universe through our thoughts mainly. So we must know about our thoughts. The following quotations from the book ‘thought power’ by Sri Swamy Sivananda give clear idea of what thought power is. “What is this world after all? It is nothing but materialization of the thought forms of God…. Thoughts virtually travel in no time. --- Thought has got tremendous power. Thoughts can heal diseases.----Every thought you send out is a vibration which never perishes.--- If your thoughts are noble ,holy and forcible, they set in vibration in every sympathetic mind.--- Keep good thoughts in your mind and reject evil ones.--- Keep the mind fully occupied. Then evil thoughts will not enter. Watch the mind every minute.--- cultivate positive virtual thoughts mercy, love, purity, forgiveness, integrity, generosity and humility in the garden of your mind.---The negative thoughts of hatred, lust, anger, greed, pride will die by themselves. The following are my conclusions.

     Thought power is the operating system of human life. Meditation improves thought power. Concentration improves meditational powers. Black spot gazing, crystal gazing and star gazing improves concentration. One can cure any hidden diseases or outward diseases by the power of thought. One can design one’s own future or even his next birth by regulating his present thought. Concentration on positive thoughts nullifies evil thoughts. All religious prayers are positive thoughts. There is no concentration in long and lengthy prayers. Short and meaningful sentence with repetition for at least 15 to 20 minutes twice in a day preferably soon after getting up and just before going to bed are desirable. This type of meditation may be religious or scientific. If it is scientific the following sentence for meditation is useful. “Day by day in every way I am getting better and better.”
