________________
The (17) Thought Power for God Realisation thought that you hold, will manifest in your life. If you are courageous, cheerful, compassionate, tolerant and kind, then these qualities will manifest in your physical life. The only impurity of the mind is past thought and desire. Guard your good thought.
Where there is not the 'I' thought then there will be no other thought. Life is an inter play of thoughts. Duality ceases when the mind stops its function. Thinking must cease. Then alone you will attain the timeless still. Be still in that stillness, when the mind melts, then shines the self effulgent "ATMAN", the pure consciousness.
-
The mind assumes the shape of any object it intensely thinks upon. Watch your Bhavana, ideas and feelings always. Your Bhavana should always be sattvic. You should always entertain Brahma Bhavana.
Watch the Bhavana during the meditation. You need not watch the breath. Your mind must be empty of all worldly thoughts. Keep your mind filled with good, divine, sublime lofty thoughts, so that there will be no room for evil thoughts. Never speak any unnecessary word. Never allow any unnecessary or vain thought to occupy your mind.
