A lot many authors across the globe have already written a lot about a very fascinating topic : Mind, Its Concepts & Functioning, How to Control Mind, How Mind Works, What are Thoughts, Where do Thoughts come from and so on so forth. In fact, being an intriguing domain with far reaching inclination among avid readers and curious people many of such books have gone on to become the Best Sellers. Having glanced couple of such books on this fascinating topic by some of the well known authorities, I am happy to share some of the Thoughts presented by these authority for the benefit of my readers.
Who travels faster? A Thought or a Light
In fact, light travels at the rate of 1,86,000 miles per second. But Thoughts virtually travel in no time. Thought is finer than ether, the medium of electricity. Thoughts of peace and harmony send by one produces similar thoughts of harmony and peace in other like minded people. While thoughts full of jealousy, revenge and hatred stir similar thoughts of hatred and discord in like minded people.
A stone thrown in a pool of water produce a succession of concentric waves. Also a light of a candle similarly give rise to waves of ethereal vibrations travelling in all directions from the candle. Similarly, a thought, whether good or evil, crosses the mind of a person, it gives rise to vibrations in the Manas or mental atmosphere, which travel far and wide in all directions.
How to accomplish through Thoughts?
The stronger the thoughts, the earlier the fructification. Thought is focussed and given a particular direction and, in the degree that thought is thus focussed and given direction, it is effective in the work it is sent out to accomplish.
Thought is a finer force. This is supplied to us by food. If the food is pure, thought also becomes pure. He who has pure thoughts speaks very powerfully and produces deep impression on the minds of the hearers by his speech. He influences thousands of persons through his pure thoughts. Entertain always pure, sublime thoughts. Thought-culture is an exact science.
Do Thoughts work as Wireless Messages?
Yes, it does. Those who harbour thoughts of hatred, jealousy, revenge and malice will cause unrest and ill-will amongst men whose minds respond to such vibrations.Thought moves with tremendous velocity. Those who entertain sublime and pious thoughts help others, who are in their vicinity and at a distance also.
Conservation of Thought-energy
In physics you have the term ‘power of orientation’. Though the mass of energy is there, it must be connected to magnet for the current to flow through the power of orientation. Even so, the mental energy which is dissipated and misdirected in various worthless worldly thoughts should be well directed in proper spiritual channels. Hence do not store in your brain useless information. Learn to unmind the mind. Unlearn whatever has been of no use to you. Then only can you fill your mind with divine thoughts.
Weight, Size and Shape of Thoughts
Every thought has got weight, shape, size, form, colour, quality and power. A Yogi can see all these thoughts directly with his inner Yogic eye. Thoughts are like things, so also you can give a useful, powerful thought to anyone and also take it back. It’s a rare Yogic science known only to few in this world. You must know the right technique of handling and manipulating a thought.
Thought—Its Form, Its Name and Colour
Suppose your mind is rendered perfectly calm, entirely without thoughts. Nevertheless, as soon as thought begins to rise, it will immediately take name and form. Every thought has a certain name and a certain form. Form is the grosser and name the finer state of a single manifesting power called thought. But these three are one; wherever there is one, the other two also are there. Wherever name is, there are form and thought. A spiritual thought has yellow colour. A thought charged with anger and hatred is of a dark red colour; a selfish thought has a brown colour and so on.
Thought—Its Power, Workings and Uses
Thought is a vital, living dynamic power—the most vital, subtle and irresistible force existing in the universe. Through the instrumentality of thought you acquire creative power. Thought passes from one man to another. It influences people; a man of powerful thought can influence readily people of weak thoughts.
We Live in a Boundless World of Thoughts
Thought alone is the whole world. Thought binds a man. You live in a world of thoughts. First is thought. Then there is the expression of that thought through the organ of speech. Thought and language are intimately connected. Thoughts of anger, bitterness and malice injure others. If the mind which is the cause of all thoughts vanishes, the external objects will disappear.
The thoughts that we perceive all round us are only the mind in form or substance. Thought creates, thought destroys. Bitterness and sweetness do not lie in the objects, but they are in the mind, in the subject, in thinking. They are created by thought.Friend and enemy, virtue and vice are in mind only. Good and evil, pleasure and pain do not proceed from objects but belong to attitude of your mind. There is nothing good nor pleasant in this world. Your imagination makes it so.
Thoughts, Electricity and Philosophy
Thoughts are giant-powers. They are more powerful than electricity. They control your life, mould your character, and shape your destiny. Mark how one thought expands into many thoughts, within a short time. The expansion of thoughts of the mind towards the objects is bondage; and, the renunciation of thoughts is liberation.You must be very watchful in nipping the thoughts in the bud. Only then will you be really happy. Mind tricks and plays. You must understand its nature, ways and habits. Then only can you control it very easily.
Outer World Pre-exists in the Thoughts
Every thought has an image. A table is a mental image plus some external thing. Whatever you see outside has its counterpart in the mind. The pupil is a small round thing in the eye. Retina is a small structure. How is it that the image of a big mountain seen through a small aperture or structure cast on the mind? This is a marvel of marvels. The image of a mountain already exists in the mind. The mind is like a vast sheet of canvas that contains all the pictures of the objects seen outside.
World – A Projection of Thought
Careful reflection will show that the entire universe is in reality the projection of the human mind also known as ManomatramJagat in Hindi. Purification and control of the mind is the central aim of all Yogas. Mind in itself is but a record of impressions that keep expressing ceaselessly as impulses and thoughts. The mind is what it does. Thought impels you to action; activity creates fresh impressions in the mind-stuff.Yoga strikes at the very root of this vicious circle by a method of effectively inhibiting the functions of the mind. Yoga checks, controls and stops the root function of the mind, i.e., thought. When thought is transcended, intuition functions and Self-knowledge supervenes.Thought has the potency of creating or undoing the world in the twinkling of an eye. Mind creates the world according to its own thought. It is the mind that creates this universe.
