POWER OF THOUGHT

Swami Sivananda

The mind has the potency of creating or un doing the whole world in the twinkling of an eye. All objects are unconnected in this world. They are connected and associated together only by the imagination of your mind. It is the mind that gives colour, shape, qualities to the objects. Mind assumes the shape of any object it intensely thinks upon. Friend and enemy, virtue and vice are in the mind only. Every man creates a world of good and evil, pleasure and pain, out of his own imagination only. Good and evil, pleasure and pain do not proceed from objects. These belong to the attitude of your mind. There is nothing good nor pleasant in this world. Your imagination makes it so.


Very cautious questions have to be put to one′s own self — firstly, as I said, whether you have unfulfilled, frustrated desires sensorially or egoistically. Secondly, what are your needs as different from the luxuries that you may like to have? Thirdly, a very important thing to remember, is whether the ideals that you are pursuing, the aim that you are driving at is really in consonance with the ultimate aim of your life.
