The Power Of Concentrated Thought (cont.)
Yesterday we had discussed external influences. Some of the internal influences or
voices include the influence or voice of:
* selfish or impure desires of name, fame, revenge, greed, remaining in control
of a situation or a person or dominating a situation or a person;
* the ego;
* the past;
* our inner conscience;
* pure desires;
* the Supreme Being or God;
* our worries of the present or of the future;
* temporary negative sanskars or personality traits;
* original or inherent positive sanskars or personality traits;
* attachments to people, situations, material objects, etc.;
* jealousy or dislike for a particular person, etc.
We are exposed to some or all these influences, whether external or internal, all
the time. If we are not strong, our mind weakens under so many influences, which
as a result, becomes unclear, confused and unfocused. Because of all of this, on
the one hand, we need to have good judgment power to remain connected to what is
essential, important and true, and on the other hand, you have to strengthen your
thought, that is, think less; think more slowly; more concentrated and clearly with
focus, a sense of purpose and positivity. That thought is like an arrow;
it has positive force and clarity and it always bears powerful fruit. This kind
of thought is called concentrated thought. The practice of introversion or meditation
for a minute or few minutes at regular intervals during the day helps us remain
above all influences and constantly feeds our mind with the power of silence, which
helps us remain in this experience of concentrated thought easily.

Message for the day 30-06-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The easiest way to bring positivity in life is to become worthy of God's love.
Expression: A simple checking whether to perform an action or not is to see
if it would be approved by God. When every action is thus checked, there would be
positivity and benefit expressed through everything. There would not be any negative,
waste or even ordinary actions performed, but only those that are sealed with the
power of positivity.
Experience: When I am able to bring about such positivity in my life, I'll
not only win the love of God, but also the love, praise and good wishes of all those
around me. I also become trust worthy and an image of support for those who are
seeking to bring positivity in their lives.
