allowing a single negative feeling or unpleasant thought to invade our mind. We know that whatever we put inside our mind will start working like a computer. With this new sense of inner strength and responsibility we start creating our future right now in this very thought moment.
For our thoughts to be dynamic, everything must synchronize-thought, word,, and action, and all three must be in tune with the highest level of sentient energy. Thought, word, and action must vibrate on the same frequency as all living life. Otherwise, a good thought may arise, but the result will not come. For example, a person may think: "I want to live long." But if he harasses or harms living beings in speech or in action, how can the universe vibrate in harmony with his desire for longevity? The universe cannot vibrate in harmonious response until thought, word, and deed synchronize. So he who wants to live long and happily must learn that first he has to let others live long and happily.
Some say: "All day I sit and pray and nothing happens!" Because action is zero! When action does not synchronize with thought, dichotomy is created.
