Thoughts on Positive Thinking I had in 1990

A few thoughts occured to me on Positive thinking during 1990

• Any thought which makes us strong physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually strong is a positive thought.
• That which contributes to our ultimate well-being is positive  irrespective of what it is to  others.
• That which emanates from heart is s positive.
• Positive thinking helps one to evolve infinitely and something which never stops.
• Thinking against one's own self is negative thinking that resists one's evolution.
• Man evolves only if he is willing to do so unlike other species where evolution is automatic.
• Positive thinking is being charitable to one's own self.
• Setting up of an ideal helps in one's self-development of positive thinking.
• One who always thinks positively has  no disappointments and no regrets.
• Positive thinking can also be termed as nothing but the commitment to the ideal that one has set for himself/herself and continuouslybeing conscious of It during all activities of daily life.
• Though thinking is of the mind, if it is guided by the light of the heart, it becomes positive.
• Positive thinking is devoid of the influence of the past, that may corrupt our present to destroy our future.
• Positive thinking should ultimately lead us to the Final Perfection or God or the Ultimate Truth.

Life Always Revolves Around The Invisible, The Intangible

The most mysterious thing about Life is Life itself. It is ONLY the Life that teaches what is Life and that too one-on-one. Even to learn from the experiences of others be it elders, Gurus, Nature or the Life around, even these things are part of Life; hence it is ONLY the Life that teaches itself how to live – in a harsh way if we do not heed; in a beautiful way if we are in tune. If one revolts to be in tune with, it adopts the harsh way. It is wisdom that we be in tune with Life (inside and outside), which is also called Nature (inside and outside). How to be in tune with Nature? It is only by tuning into one’s own heart. Heart is something that is always pulsating with Life giving us a hint that it is our own Centre/Source to be in tune with.

It is interesting to note that every life, (without exception, whether it is human life or plant life or animal life or mineral life); whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, whether we acknowledge it or not, revolves around things that are invisible and intangible.

Let’s take the example of human life that has physical aspects; mental aspects; emotional aspects and spiritual aspects.

At the physical level: Thirst, Hunger, sensuality rule our life – all invisible. Human being just responds to these instincts or signals.

At the Mental Level: Thought; Urge to know; Intellect - again all invisible, human being just acts according to thoughts and the urge to know more and more.

At the emotional level: Feelings; Emotions; Inspirations; ego – the invisible things that rule our life; we either succumb or yield to these prompts.

At the Spiritual Level: Craving/Longing; Purity; Simplicity; Profundity; Perfection – again most invisible things, the substratum of all the invisible things mentioned above. These innermost things govern human life.

Normally the first three levels are active in every human being and the fourth level is dormant; that is not awakened or mildly awakened. If this realm is awakened somehow, the human life falls into place in scheme of things of Nature/God/Unknown/Life/Ultimate Truth.

The point is our whole Life is driven constantly by so many invisible and intangible forces; We are only yielding to or trying to gain control over these things; We are incessantly dealing with The Invisible and yet apparently we are also denying this reality. This I feel is because the fourth dimension in us not awakened still. This is awakened by yet another Invisible and Intangible Subtle Force/Principle called Guru. May every one deepen their Longing for Guru or The Guiding Principle that makes one’s life be navigated in the ONLY direction that is right!
