No Comment - Post a comment










· Whatever you think, that you will be.
· We are the heirs of good and evil thoughts.
· Thought is the finest and highest action of Prana.
· We are what our thoughts have made us, so take
care of what you think. Words are secondary.
Thoughts live, they travel far. Each thought we
think is tinged with our own character,………
…..
· Man cannot always think of matter, however
pleasurable it may be.
· The glory of man is that he is a thinking being.
· If you think yourself pure, pure you will be.
· What we think we tend to become.
· Even thinking the least good of others gradually
instills into the heart the strength of a lion.
· If you have to think, think good thought, great
thoughts.
· Think away everything.
· What we think we become.
· Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts
make things ugly.
· Thoughts can be guided and controlled.
· Doing is very great, but that comes from
thinking……………….. Fill the brain therefore,
with high thoughts, highest ideals; place them
day and night before you; and out of that will
come great work.
· Think only pure thoughts.
· The infinite future is before you, and you must
always remember that each word, thought,
and deed lays up a store for you, and that as the
bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring
upon you like tigers, so also there is the
inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good
deeds are ready with the power of a hundred
thousand angels to defend you always and
forever.
· Every thought that we think, every deed that we
do, after a certain time becomes fine, goes into
seed form, so to speak, and lives in the fine body
in a potential form, and after a time, it emerges
again and bears its results. These results
condition the life of a man. Thus he moulds
his own life. Man is not bound by any other laws
excepting those which he makes for himself.
· Go on doing good, thinking holy thoughts
continuously, that is the only way to suppress
base impressions. Never say any man is
hopeless, because he only represents a character,
a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new
and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and
repeated habits alone can reform character……
……….The chaste brain has tremendous energy
and gigantic will power.
· Please be careful not to become impure even in
thought, as also in speech and action; always try
to do good to others as far as in you lies.
· You must be perfectly pure. Do not think of
evil things, such thoughts will surely drag you
down.
· UNCHASTE IMAGINATION IS AS BAD
AS UNCHASTE ACTION.
· Hold fast to the real Self, think only pure
thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a
regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and
silence comes the word of power.
· Man is the product of two forces, action and
reaction, which make him think.
· Think of nothing but liberation.
· Do not open you mind, unless you feel it will
be positively beneficial.
· Say, “I am the Spirit! Nothing external can touch
me”. When evil thoughts arise, repeat that, give
that sledge-hammer blow on their heads, “I am
the Spirit! I am the Witness, the Ever-Blessed! I
have no reason to do, no reason to suffer, I have
finished with everything, I am the witness. I am
in my picture gallery---------this universe is my
museum, I am looking at these successive
paintings. They are all beautiful. Whether good
or evil. I see the marvelous skill, but it is all one.
Infinite flames of the great Painter! ”
· Hold your mind free. All this that you see, the
pains and miseries, are but the necessary
conditions of this world; poverty and wealth and
happiness are but momentary.
· The purer the mind, the easier it is to control.
· The mind is omnipresent and can be heard and
felt anywhere.
· That man alone who is the lord of his mind can
be happy and none else.
· It is the strong mind that hews its way through a
thousand difficulties.
· It is our own mental attitude which makes the
world what it is for us.
· Renunciation is of the mind.
· The freedom of the mind is a delusion.
· The whole world is in our own minds.
· Get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and
every stone that drops into it raises waves.
· You must keep the mind fixed on one object, like
an unbroken stream of oil.
· Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.
· The mind uncontrolled and unguided will
drag us down, down, for ever--------rend us,
kill us; and the mind controlled and guided
will save us, free us.
· We must be the masters, and not the slaves of
nature; neither body nor mind must be our
master, nor must we forget that the body is mine,
and not I the body’s.
· Always keep your mind joyful; if melancholy
thoughts come, kick them out.
· The direction of the mind, which always runs
after the senses, has to be turned within.
· Mental pains are more poignant than physical
tortures.
· Mental pleasures are greatly superior to physical
joys.
· Purity of the mind must be insisted upon if you
would control it.
· Purity of the mind is the first thing necessary.
· Do not disturb your mind by vain arguments.
· All that we see, we project out of our own minds.
· How has all the knowledge in the world been
gained but by the concentration of the powers of
the mind? The world is ready to give up its
secrets, if we only know how to knock, how to
give it the necessary blow. The strength and the
force of the blow come through concentration.
There is no limit to the power of the human
mind. The more concentrated it is, the more
power is brought to bear on one point; that is the
secret.
· What I want is muscles of iron and nerves of
steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same
materials as that of which the thunderbolt is
made.
· All knowledge that the world has ever received
comes from the mind; the infinite library of the
universe is in your own mind.
· O Lord, be merciful to us. Make our minds calm
and tranquil, make our hearts pure.
· It is our own mental attitude which makes the
world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things
beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The
whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see
things in the proper light.
· All power is in the human mind. We can master
anything, simply by giving our attention to it.
· We are slaves to our own and to everybody else’s
mind.
· Fill the mind with the highest thoughts, hear
them day after day, think them month after
month……….
·
MODIFED
