Thought Source of Immense
Power-III
=Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The gigantic mines of metals and minerals evince this fact.
Similar is the case with superposing of sound waves etc. The cycle of their
circular motion and recurrence with further superimposition of similar thought
waves creates a subtle energy field in the etheric expansion that widens and
affects more and more people having even the slightest receptivity to those
thoughts, with its larger and sharper reach. This is why the books we read, the
ambience we live in most of the time, or the people we interact with,
indirectly influence our thinking and tendencies. This is how the company of
drunkards produces more drunkards, that of thieves makes others thieves and so
on; this is how criminals form stout gangs. This is how the inspiring proximity
of saints, great personalities, or sagacious thoughts enlightens and elevates
many others. What kinds of thought waves influence one and to what extent? This
depends upon what his mind is prepared for and what are its own intrinsic
inclinations and aspirations. Radio stations or satellite sites
broadcast/transmit varieties of programs, but our radio or television sets
receive only those for which they are set/tuned.
Our minds are also like antennae or receiving stations for
thought waves they are naturally tuned to or vigorously trained for. Good
people with alert mind feel some kind of repulsion from cruel, cunning or
debased people; whereas the magnetism of morally pure, elevated and kindhearted
personalities often attracts them. Contrary is the case with people having mental
vices, evil characters or perverse tendencies.
All of the infinitely many kinds of thought waves floating in
the subliminal layers of the cosmic expansion may touch every mental body at
some point of time, but attract or influence only those that are sensitive or
receptive to them or have compatible nature. Unstable (agile), dormant and weak
minds do not have any firm tuning and are therefore easily influenced by any
kind of thought waves that have strong force of attraction. We often consider
the actions of the body and its five senses as the cause of what makes good or
bad karma (destiny). But the shastras (vedic scriptures) also in detail the
effects of mentally committed papa (sins) and punya (noble, ethical deeds) in
shaping our future destiny. As discussed above, our virtuous and evil thoughts
indirectly make corresponding contributions in the subtle environment and hence
on many others; so these invisible actions of our mind also become parts of our
karma.
The more and deeper the involvement of our mind and hence of
the inner self in the thoughts, the more intense and lasting would be the
impression of the associated karma in the script of our future destiny. The
social norms and governmental laws may constrain the conduct and visible deeds
of a person. But everyone is totally free in the unlimited expanse of mental
creations, imaginations, thoughts, feeling etc. This is why most of us don't
care for the immense capabilities and impact of the hidden powers of mind and
the inner self. The shastric concept (affirmation) of mental papa and punya
should serve as a timely warning for us. The kinds of imaginations and thoughts
ones mind is inclined to, or is often engrossed in, determine and influence his
attitude, mental tendencies and hence his actions because of the compounding
effect of the thought waves of coherent quality.
Thought power is like
fire or electricity, which should be used wisely and cautiously; little
carelessness may cause havoc in the subtle world and eventually give rise to
equally hazardous consequences in the visible realms of life. If used wisely
and constructively, the thought power like the thermal, electrical or nuclear
powers, could prove to be a boon for the individuals as well as for the society
and the world.
The treasure of this natural bequest grows with sagacious
use. If instead of preserving, guarding and expanding it, we drain out this
wealth haphazardly or let it be misused by evil instincts, we would be the
culprits, the sinful destroyers of our present as well as the future lives.
When we use our materialistic possessions and resources so intelligently, then
why should not we do the same for the precious mental property? The currents of
our thought waves subliminally create our worlds. Our thoughts inspire and direct
our ascent or descent. What kind of thought waves our minds are sensitized to
also depends upon the quality and depth of our own thoughts. We should
therefore be aware and alert about what we are thinking, imagining, aspiring
for, or emotionally engrossed in. If untoward thoughts are allowed to occupy
our mind and are let free to spread their roots, we are, unknowingly, inviting
ill future for ourselves. It will therefore be better that we let only
constructive, sane thoughts enter our minds. Cultivation of positive thinking,
engrossed reading or listening and contemplation over elevated thoughts, and
training the mind to invoke the corresponding thought waves are the keys to
progressive and blissful present, a brighter future and sublime transmutation of
the human self.
