A cheerful thought in you, produce, cheerful thoughts in others. So do sublime elevating thoughts. Keep the heart young. Do not think "I have become old. Do not entertain this thought. As you think so you become. This is a great psychological law. "As a man thinketh so he becometh." This is a great truth. Thoughts alone shapes and moulds a man. Man lives always in a world of thoughts. Every one lives always in a world of thoughts. Every person has his own thought world. Your present world is the result of your past thoughts and your future will be according to your present thoughts if you thik rightly, you will speak rightly and act rightly. Speech and action simply follow the thoughts.
(8) Every person should have a comprehensive understanding of the laws of thought and their operations. Then alone can one live in this world smoothly & happily. He can utilize the helping forces to serve his ends in the best possible manner. Think you are pure, pure you will become. Live to serve others then you will reap happiness. If you do any action that can give pain to others, you will reap pain.
This is the law of thought and nature you can shape your favourable or unfavourable circumstances by doing good or bad actions. Man creates his own
