Only the specific situations leading to a Six can be called as Nimitta, not me. However, when the six-run event takes place, then for my 'involvement' in this process, the public gives me credit of making the six runs. But the public must realize this fact that I cannot always be Nimitta of making six runs on every ball. In this regard, we can take one example of Chemistry: Depending on the specific situations, carbon and oxygen may combine to form carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO). It is also important to note that under many situations carbon and oxygen atoms may not combine even if they are compelled to come close to each other. These possibilities can be expressed by the following equations:
Your one student passes his examination with the first position in the merit list of the university and another student fails in the same examination. In such situation would you like to be called as a Nimitta for the success of one and failure of another. If you boast for one then you should feel guilty for another. In both the cases you are mistaken. We should understand very well the teachings of Acārya Amratchandra described here that the same classroom lectures delivered by you are received differently according to the state of minds of the recipients. Therefore, think of the state of minds of the recipients also before boasting or feeling guilty.
The same applies to the effect of your teachings to your sons and daughters, and other tasks being carried out through your body and mind.
C+0,= CO C+02 = CO + 0
C+02 = C +02
The author has conducted extensive research on this area of state-to-state Chemistry using Molecular Dynamics to investigate such issues of combination and dissociation of atoms and molecules, and have found again and again that the states of the reacting atoms and molecules play a significant role in the chemical reactions.
Peace and happiness by witnessing I am a soul, not the body. I am not the doer of any physical event. I am not a doer but an observer (a knower) of others. I am not the doer of even my own thoughts. The thoughts are not possible without soul but it does not mean that the soul is the doer of thoughts. Without light the scenes of fire, rain, fight, etc. are not possible on the screen of the cinema hall, but it does not mean that the light is the doer of all those scenes 'stored in the film. In BhagvatGītā [8] also we find that the soul is beyond mind. Such an understanding of oneself beyond mind and body leads oneself to identify as a witness of all events including the actions of the body and mind.
Many western psychologists and philosophers also have emphasized the importance of being witness. This act of being witness is also valuable in improving the peace of mind and health of the physical body. In this regard the following lines written by Wayne Dyer in Your Sacred Self are worth noting [9]:
Practical application in our day-to-day life Curing power of medicines No doubt, the right medicines become instrumental cause (Nimitta) for curing a person. But this is an incomplete information. The medicines alone cannot cure. According to the medical science, the cure takes place when the right kind of molecules of a medicine react appropriately with the molecules responsible for the sickness. Many times in such biochemical events, the environment and psychology of the patient play a crucial role. Due to this reason, the same medicine can cure one person but becomes ineffective for another patient having same sickness. The success in curing every time (Nitya Kartratva) is not observed. Therefore, in strict sense, we cannot grant the status of Nimitta. This again reminds that only specific states of a Dravya can become Nimitta, a Dravya cannot be called as a Nimitta in the strict sense. What to learn from this description? Answer: Don't depend entirely on medicines; in addition to the appropriate medical treatment, think of improving your beliefs, psychology, and the environment also.
"Stephen Wolinsky describes it this way in his book: Quantum Consciousness: 'If I can begin to observe and witness my reactions, then I will feel freer and more at peace. It is only by the identification and fusion with a thought or feeling that I limit myself from being the observer to becoming the experience itself!"
At another place, Wayne Dyer provides a practical method to become witness. He writes (10): "First you want to watch your thoughts. Then you want to watch yourself watching your thoughts. Here is the door to the inner space where, from all thoughts, you experience the bliss and the freedom that transport you directly to your higher self."
Duties without guilt and boasting
