Thoughts shape our future

Amazing!!! But true...

Ever thought of something, and it becomes true ? No? Ok... Ever wanted or wished something really desperately and it came true? All those things you feared the most and kept thinking about, came true? Yes? Thats the point.. When we think about something, we put energy into that thought, and if that thought "musters" enough energy, it starts manifesting itself. So, dont think of the bad things, and think a lot of the good things....

Now just because I said that, doesnt mean, you'll stop working and just keep fantasizing about the bike your dad promised to buy you. Thinking is no substitute for work. Your thoughts just give an event, that extra edge which makes it happen for sure.

Do you remember your grandparents telling you, to leave your troubles to God and not worry so much? This is the reason. The more you think of your troubles, you are inevitably giving the trouble energy to manifest itself. When you believe that God will take care of the problems (which he does...), you dont think so much about it and hence, dont energize it as you would/could have.

So dont think so much, dont worry so much. There is a God and he will take care of your troubles, afterall, even He doesnt want people to be unhappy on this Earth. Just concentrate on your work and the rest will all fall into place.

Happy thoughts !

The power of "Karma"

Any Indian, or for that matter, any person who has some inclination towards spiritualism will be able to recite the values of Karma. Karma literally means action. The philosophy of Karma is simple - "As you sow, so shall you reap". So basically, you do a good turn, and somebody does you good too, you do a bad turn, and you get a bad turn back yourself. Is it really so simple? If I go slap someone, does somebody slap me back too? Not really...

Karmas have an additive property. Which means, you dont really get the results right as soon as you do some action. The results may be delayed, to the extent of being carried forward in the next birth. Well, rebirth is one topic we shall talk about sometime else. Now back to actions and their additive property...

Karmas have a way of piling up together. Do you know someone, who is really very good, very helpful, kind and nice? All the positive adjectives in your vocab apply to him/her. Yet, nothing good really every happens to him/her. Yes? Well, there is one living example of a person with a sum of bad karmas in a past birth. So if you have gone and caused a lot of people grief, you wont be sad immediately. Infact, you start believing that you have a lot of good karmas against your name and so your bad deeds actually get cancelled by it. But, you'll be hit on your face with cumulative grief all at one shot. Ultimately, we have to bear the fruits of our own (mis)deeds.

Thought is also an action. So if you think bad, you are bound to be hit with bad things. Have you ever noticed, if you are consciously positive in you thoughts, you kind of attract good things towards you? If you wish bad on someone, chances are your wishes will come true, but that will also get you something bad in return sometime.

Karmas arent even such a bad thing. They are not used for judging you. They are just there to teach you the lessons you should learn in life. Infact, if you realise the true potential of karma, you can very well use it your full advantage. Karma is a collective noun for human thoughts, efforts and actions. Hence, with a lot of good Karma, you can actually change your destiny for the good (or bad). Make efforts, rather untiring efforts, to reach what you really want in life. Pray and wish like you are hanging on for your life. Be a good human being and then watch the world really give you what you want !
