Thoughts shape reality; regulate them to transform your destiny.

‘Cogito, ergo sum’ ... I Think therefore I am. ... René Descartes

If you have decided to read this. Stop. Think what you are thinking now. Because … Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right! The only thing absolutely in our power is our Thought.

It shapes our reality. Influences our emotions. Translates to actions. And ultimately defines the quality of our lives. This concept is deeply embedded in various philosophical and spiritual traditions, including ancient Indian wisdom, emphasizing the profound impact of our mental processes, manifesting into our experiences.

In the realm of Vedic philosophy, the Nature of thoughts is not just merely a fleeting phenomenon. They are powerful forces that can create or destroy. The idea that “you become what you think” resonates with many ancient texts, highlighting the significance of cultivating positive thoughts.

“;Fkk ladYirseu%rnuqlEi|rs”

“As the mind thinks, so it becomes.”

The quality of our thoughts directly influences our reality. A positive mindsetattracts positive experiences.

Positive Thinkingis not merely wishful thinking. It is a conscious effort to reshape our cognitive patterns. This idea is echoed in various scriptures that advocate for a mindset centred on optimism and well-being.

“vlrksekln~xe;”

“Lead me from the unreal to the real.”

This shloka from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad encourages individuals to move from ignorance to knowledge. By focusing on positive and truthful thoughts, we navigate through the complexities of life towards clarity peace and Holistic wellbeing.

A thought is energy.Almost impossible to stop from flowing in. Having a sizeable impact effect on every facet of our life. What however is possible and should be the goal is to regulate them conscientiously so as to have them supportively influence and nourish our present moment.  How we nurture out thoughts is in our control. Thereby we can manage how they impact us. If we allow the negative to nest within for a long period, we create a cyclic trap which is detrimental.

It is important to emphasize here that when we stay on and nourishthoughts, we become what we think. Yet … we must recognise that and understand that we are not our thoughts. We have the ability to rise above them.

Meditation and mindfulness practices are vital in harnessing the power of our thoughts. They help in cultivatingconsciousness, allowing us to observe our thoughts without attachment. This detachment is crucial in understanding the transient nature of thoughts.

“'kkUrkdkjaHkqtx'k;uai'kqifra;ksfxuke~”

“Peaceful in form, resting on a serpent, Lord of all beings, O yogis...”

This shloka refers to Lord Shiva, symbolising inner peace and mastery over the mind. Through practices that promote mindfulness, we can align our thoughts with tranquillity and purpose.

The power of thoughts extends beyond the individual. It influences our ecosystem. The teachings of the Upanishads highlight the interconnectedness of life and the importance of collective positivity.

The power of our thoughts is a profound truth recognised in ancient Indian philosophy. By cultivating positive, constructive thoughts, we can transform our reality, contribute to our well-being, and enhance our connections with ourself, others and the Universe. As we navigate through life’s challenges, our thoughts hold the key to our experiences, shaping our destinies with each conscious choice we make.

As Raman Maharishi said - The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress. We are the seat of limitless Power - through our thought. Just One Thought can make all the difference!! I Think therefore I am.
