THOUGHT POWER (1) Do not store in your mind useless information. Learn to unmind the mind. Then only can you fill your mind with divine thoughts. You will gain new mental strength as the dissipated mental rays are collected now.
(2) We live in a boundless world of thoughts. Friend and enemy, virtue & vice, are in the mind only Every man creates a world of good and evil, pleasure & pain out of his own imagination only.
(3) The expansion of thoughts of the mind towards the object is bondage and the renunciation of thoughts is liberation. Mind tricks & plays, you must understand its nature, ways and habits, then only can you control it.
The world most extraordinatory book of Practical philosophical idealism of India is a "Yoga Vasishtha." Knowledge of the self alone will free one from this round of births & deaths. Extinction of thoughts and Vasana is “Moksha." Expansion of mind alone is “sankalpa". Sankalpa or thought through its power of differentiation generates (this world) this universe. This world is a play of the mind. it does not exist in the three periods of time.
