Sub : Right  Living : The  most  positive  sadhana -


Ref :  Present  generation  misguided  by  all  forces  i.e,  Home-Parents,  Educational  Institutions-Teachers, Society-Public ( such  as  Relatives,  Neighbors, Friends, Common  People  and  All  Contacts ),  Religion-Priests, Democracy-Politicians,  Media-Print, Visuals, Entertainment-Films, TV,    and  so  on  ....  .....


All Members,

Respected family members of this great holy Nation.



Part-3.


A.

1.  Change  in  the  existing  mental  make  up  is  no  easy  process.

2.  Mind  is  constituted  of  thoughts  manifested  within  each  one  of  us,  and  unless  the  thoughts  are  changed  and  mind  cannot  be  changed.

3.  The  rehabilitation  of  a  given  personality  consists  in  bringing  about  a  triple  change  in   the  thoughts  in  us  ---  changes  in  their  QUALITY, QUANTITY  and  DIRECTION  of  flow.


B.

1.  The  quality  of  thoughts  entertained  by  us  has  been  to  a  large  extent  completely  changed  by  the  constant  remembrance  of  the  Lord-of-our-heart,  especially  when  this  springs  from  the  deep  and  dedicate  depths  of  a  devoted  heart.

2.  The  practice  of  devotion  on  an  ideal  personality,  possessing  all  the  humane  qualities,  is  a  method  of  directly  changing  the  quality   of  thoughts  entertained  by  us.


C.

1.  Positive  or  Creative   qualities  are  such  that  they,  in  their  reaction  with  the  world  outside,  do  not  multiply  themselves  into  any  boissterous  upsurge  within,  eroding  and  washing  away  one's  mental  vitality.

2.  For  example,  bring  into  your  mind  the  memories  of  your  love  and  watch  your  mental  condition;  after  a  time,  work  your  mind  up  to  re-live  your  hatred  ( or  jealousy )  which  you  entertain  for  your  enemy.

3.  Be  conscious  of  the  mental  condition.

4.  The  contrast  is  obvious  ---  'Love  soothes  the  mind,  while  hatred  or  jealousy  whips  up  the  mind  into  a  storm.        

To be continued   .....

Thank you for reading

Chapter 18. The Power Of Thought-14.2. 14. Clear Thinking-how It Is Accomplished-2 The images are not clear, strong and well-defined. You will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking. Through Vichara (ratiocination), Manana (deep reflection) and meditation, you will have to make the thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will become firm. Through right-thinking, reasoning, introspection and meditation, you will have to clarify your ideas. Then confusion will vanish. The thoughts will get settled and well-grounded. Think clearly. Clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude. Purify your thoughts to a considerable degree. Silence the thoughts. Do not allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought-wave rise and settle down calmly. Then allow another thought to enter. Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with the subject-matter you are handling at th...

Methods of Mind-Conquest -2:   Swami Sivananda Stages of Mind-conquest: (Continued) ==================================================================================== 11.Mind-conquest by the Method of Sankirtan Yoga: Of particular interest to the modern temper is the case Sivananda makes out in a chapter on Sankirtan Yoga, in his Sivananda Yoga Samhita for Sankirtan as the easiest and the cheapest method of mind-control and God-realisation. “Sankirtan Yoga is the easiest, surest, quickest, safest, cheapest and best way for conquering the mind and attaining God-realisation in this Kali Yuga. There is infinite Sakti in the Lord’s Names. It will remove all impurities from your mind. Vedantins say that there are three kinds of obstacles to Self-realisation–Mala, Vikshena and Avarana. To remove them they prescribe Nishkama Karma, Upasana and Vedantic Nididhyasana...

Methods of Mind-Conquest -2:   Swami Sivananda Stages of Mind-conquest: ==================================================================================== 6.Mind-conquest by the Method of Will-culture: From pages? of this book let us compile here those relevant passages of Sivananda that present to us his method of will-culture for mind-control. Mind-control is extremely difficult. But, it has to be done. Therefore Sivananda says on page?, - You will have to struggle hard for a long time with patience and perseverance. Nothing is impossible for a Sadhaka who has an iron will and a strong determination. When a doubt arises, - whether or not I succeed in controlling the mind, it must be dispelled, Sivananda says, by direct suggestions and affirmation such as: - It is true: I will succeed. There is no doubt of this. - In my dictionary, in my vocabulary, there ar...
