Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 CHAPTER 40 There is no bigger enemy than one's own evil thoughts! For each failure one faces in life, if one would be able to retrace his own steps to the beginning, one would be able to see that the root of the fatal fall was only a rotten seed that contained within it the life of a wicked thought which he, himself, nurtured to grow by his blind belief! Yes! My child, the fall only comes, when one pushes his own self with the force of his own unbalanced mind! Realize that a mind can be balanced only by a strong and pure heart - a heart that sees the truth of only the highest love and with its strength, is able to face the fear, endure the threat and overcome every challenge of an impure, selfish thought! For one to be able to see the reflection of his own self, one must wipe the mist of the blurring thoughts that fog the reality of one's own perfection. Thinking is only the process, in which one wanders from the reality of the true image. Hence, each time a thought arises, one has only voluntarily allowed the truth to lose its spontaneity! Realize that the thoughts that are directed towards the truth will, eventually, diminish in the power of its awakening reality. Hence, each one must develop a love for the truth, for such a love forces the mind to walk in its direction. Negative thoughts arise in man, when one begins to doubt his own capability of being able to adhere to the complete truth. When self-confidence dwindles, one loses his contact with his own inner purity. In such a state, where one lacks the strength of truth, one begins to fear his very own existence. But man's instinctive nature is to defend his life, no matter what state he is in. Hence, he, My child, covers his deficiency with the impurity of his fears and allows those fears to express themselves as thoughts that reassure him of his safety and give all else in life the undue blame. Giving himself the false hope of his stability, he continues to walk this journey of life with lesser vision, each day. And then comes the time, where the vision of the reality is completely lost and immersed in the fear of his own thoughts! When one loses his self-control little by little, one is bound to face the uncertainty of his own uncontrolled thoughts. Such thoughts can be easily ignored by making one consciously aware that the thought is only a barrier between the self and its existing knowledge. Once one finds within him the strength and determination to reject the menacing thought, one, automatically, will receive the direction of purity from his own self. Do not worry and give the thought undue importance. As long as you have been able to override it, you, My child, have stayed untouched and unstained! The truth can be found not by thinking, My child, but by facing what lies ahead of you with the complete faith in your pure efforts. No truth is ever bitter - if one does find it distasteful, it is only because he has, himself, made the inner longing for that truth absent. All the strength is within life, itself! The Giver of Life holds nothing back from loving his only love!
