The Power Of Concentrated Thought
The thoughts that we create are of different nature, different intensity and their
quantity also varies from time to time during a particular day as well as night
and also depending on what action we are performing at that particular moment of
time or not performing any action at all. They possess immense potential or power,
both positive and negative. They can either liberate (or empower) us or limit (weaken)
us. This depends on what we think and how much we think.
The mind tends to jump from one place to another. Many of our thoughts filled with
doubts, dejection, fears, insecurity, irritation, worry, comparisons which give
rise to emotions like jealousy or inferiority / superiority complexes, desires,
un-enthusiasm, etc. are useless thoughts and weaken us. They defocus us and cloud
our inner clarity. Sometimes we keep repeating certain type of thoughts inside our
mind, we keep going round in circles. Most of the time, these repetitive thoughts
are negative or waste in nature related to the emotions mentioned above. Sometimes
the repetitive thoughts can be necessary or positive also. Even necessary and positive
thoughts, when repeated again and again, turn into the superfluous (excess) or waste.
So it’s important to think in a higher, concentrated way – think less and think
powerful; such thoughts have a lot of clarity, focus and spiritual force that help
us to put them into practice more successfully. A single thought or a series of thoughts
can block the capacity to feel content and awakened spiritually and make us sorrowful.
On the other hand, a single thought or a series of positive thoughts can be the
key to open the door that allows us to access, enjoy and experience the richness
of our inner self. But it has to be a pure, strong, clear and concentrated thought
or thoughts.

Message for the day 28-06-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
It is on the basis of actions that praise is received.
Expression: The one who only talks but is not able to put his talk into practice
does not become worthy of praise. On the other hand, the one who is able to bring
his good thoughts and words into action becomes worthy of praise. Such a person's
actions become inspirational for others and encourage them to follow him.
Experience: When I am able to act according to my thoughts and words, I am
able to take inspiration to do more. For every positive action that I do, I experience
support and good wishes from others which encourage me constantly. My account of
positivity is always full and it takes me further to a cycle of positivity making
it a habit. So I find that I don't have to work hard for performing positive actions.
