Our thoughts create our world. Our thoughts create our feelings. Our thoughts radiate the body and create our health.
Our thoughts reach other people and create relationships. And our thoughts radiate to the environment and create our world. Everything is happening from here, our mind.
Can we afford to create a wrong thought? Our thoughts create our karmas. Our karmas create our destiny.
If we create wrong thoughts, what happens to our destiny? It will have issues. Today we need to finalize If the situation is not right?
It doesn't matter. People's behaviours are not right? It doesn't matter.
What is in my control? My thoughts. And if my thoughts are right If my thoughts are right, what happens to the situation?
It will eventually be fine. My destiny will be beautiful. We don't need to live like slaves.
Just place any situation here, literally any situation. Because if we don't pay attention to the equation Then even in small scenes of life, our state of mind is fluctuating. But if you set the equation right No matter what situation you place here The state of mind will be stable and peaceful.
Happy, loveful always Because this is not dependent on this. If you actually reflect Is our mind dependent on the situation? Or is situation created according to our state of mind?
Who influences whom? The power is in the mind. Situation is dependent on our state of mind.
We reversed the equation itself. And we said our state of mind is dependent on other situations. And because we reversed the equation, everything started becoming complicated.
Going back to the example, the other person insulted me. They did it repeatedly. Can we be respectful to them?
Can we speak to them lovingly? What happened? They are behaving in their ways.
How should we behave? We need to be our way. They will behave in their way and we should behave in our way.
Who stops us from talking to them lovingly? Check who stops us, so that we can eliminate that barrier. Who stops us from talking nicely to them?
Very good. Our ego stops us. What does our ego tell us at that moment?
This person insulted us and said unpleasant things I want to talk to them lovingly, but what does my ego tell me at that moment? It says just one line. What is it?
What does ego tell us? Very good. It says - Why should I talk nicely to them?
Why should I be nice? Tit for tat. Which means if they were not nice to me, what should I do?
I should not be nice to them. Life is so simple. They did that so I also did the same.
And then in a few minutes they did something else, so I also did the same. And then once again, they did something and I also copied them. Life is so simple isn't it?
But as I kept copying their behaviour, what happened? It is simple. It's like saying They fell, so I also fell.
Then they fell, so I also fell. They had a very bad fall, so I also had a bad fall. Because someone who is not behaving right That person is falling from his state of natural health.
And because he fell, we also fell? They kept falling and we also kept falling. By falling so many times they started becoming weak.
We kept looking at them and falling. So today they are in this hall, and we are sitting next to them. There is an energy residing here.
The soul, which is energy. If the soul is powerful And if it remains stable regardless of other people's behaviour Then it will always remain happy. If this is always happy, then the body will always be healthy.
If this is happy always, then all our relationships will be harmonious. But if the mind said - They did this way, so I also responded the same way. When this happened repeatedly Since how many days are we doing it?
Since many lifetimes. Not since many years, but since many lifetimes. And we have reached the stage where Today we don't even know our power.
Our life is no longer in our control But now even our mind also is not in our control. When both of them go out of control Life becomes very difficult. Today our words are not in our control.
We say - I didn't intend to say this. But words slipped off. How many of us experience it and then say slip of the tongue?
Now just think. When we say - Words just slipped out of my mouth I am saying - I have no control over myself. Not a very good sign.
So first we lost control over the mind. And then we lost control over our words. Sometimes we lose control over our hands.
Sometimes we lose control our karmas. Which means we cannot create a destiny of our choice. It is not possible.
So do not look at your destiny and ask - Why is this happening to me? The reason it is happening to me is Because I did not create the right thought, right word, and right Karma Instead I only reacted to situations and people's behaviours. And therefore the way their destiny is My destiny also became similar to theirs.
So when our ego lovingly comes and tells us - Why should I be nice to them? Answer it lovingly. What is the answer?
Why should we do the right Karma when they are not being right to us? What is the answer? Why should I be right to them?
We have to answer that. The ego will ask us once or twice - Why are you interested in being so nice to people? Not only does our ego speak, but egos of people around us also speak People tell us - there is no need to be so good in today's times.
You are trying to be like King Harishchandra. This is how it egos around us speak. Today people don't support us enough when we do a good Karma.
Because they are also speaking through their ego. They will go to the extent of saying If you are so good then the other person will take undue advantage of your goodness. That person will take you for granted.
If the world takes us for granted If they believe about us as - No matter what happens, this person remains strong. Isn't that a very big achievement? I am waiting for that day when the world can take me for granted.
When they say - No matter what you do, what you say, how you behave, this person does not get disturbed here. That is an achievement. That is success.
Which means our life has come back into our control. So if people take us for granted What should we do at that time? Compliment yourself - Good, you have achieved it.
People are taking you for granted. What does it mean to say taking for granted? It means their behaviour will always be of their own choice.
Their behaviour is not dependent on situations and people's behaviours. This is power. Today people are ready to do anything for the sake of power of position.
Today we just need to reclaim our own power. We don't need the power of position. The power of position will not give us the power on our own self.
But if we have power on ourselves Then no matter what position we are in Whether that position is in an organisation Whether that position is of being parent at home If you have power over yourself What will you give to others? You will radiate power to others. What is the one thing that your children need the most, today?
You have given them everything Best school, best home, best car So now they need only one thing today. What is it that they need? Power, which is inner power.
It should not be that they get disturbed in even small scenes of life. It should not be that even for small reasons they say I don't want to live anymore. Today over small matters, children are saying - my life has no purpose.
Why are they so disturbed emotionally? Because their family has given them everything externally. In fact they have given more than what the children wanted.
But what is not visible (energy) Parents have not given enough of that The energy empowerment they need at this time. And the inner power they need in the next 20 years. We need to give power to our family.
Can you see the risk of what is happening? And then we say - There is so much competition, that's why my children are worried. Children are actually not worried because of competition.
In fact there is less pressure on them than before It is wrong to say that pressure has increased today. Pressure has actually reduced. Twenty years back when we gave our board exams How many days did we have to prepare before the exams?
What was the duration of our board exams? From what I remember, it was Monday to Friday Two papers a day One in the morning and the other in the evening daily. We had for 5 continuous days.
Today soon after the first exam, children get so many days of holidays to prepare for the second subject. And then again holidays after second exam. So where is the pressure increasing?
It has reduced significantly. Pressure has reduced. But the battery which has to face even the little pressure, that has also depleted.
And because inner power has reduced Even though pressures have reduced, anxiety is still high. When we were giving our board exams At the most we would use the word 'tension' just before exams. Today students are taking medicines before writing their exams.
They are taking medicines to overcome anxiety. Some children get up on the day of the exam and say they don't want to go. Because the mind is not in their control.
And at that moment instead of empowering that child Parents get more worried So instead of charging the mental battery of the child Parents end up discharging that battery. We need to understand the priority of today's times. Today the most important thing that our family needs It is inner power.
So that when any situation comes in their life They will be able to cross it easily. And that power cannot be bought with money. Money can only buy objects of comfort, which is fine.
But how do we empower our family? We need to earn that power. How to earn it?
Throughout the day when situations come How should we respond to each of them? Respond right. If our equation remains right The equation of everyone at home will remain right.
Every house only needs one charged battery. So from this moment never say that the equation is Situation was such that I became tensed. No.
Situation is here. How should I think right in the situation? What should be my thought now?
Come back to that example. The other person insulted me badly. What is the right thought to create?
They must have had a bad day. But suppose they have been doing it everyday actually? So then what to think?
It's their nature, they are worried, they are upset. Anything else? Very good.
It is their habit. What else to think? My thoughts - whose choice are they?
Can we say that with clarity? My thoughts are my choice. Nothing to do with them.
They will be their way. I will be my way. And what will be my way?
My way will be the right way. And what is the right way? Right thought will be the one which increases soul power.
Right Karma will be the one which increases soul power. Right Karma will be the one which improves the body's health. Right Karma will be the one which will purify my Energy field.
And that right Karma is not dependent on other people's behaviour. If required, just pause for a minute And then check your thought But be sure that creating wrong thoughts is not allowed. Because our destiny is getting affected due to it.
No matter how difficult the situation is We need to create those thoughts Which we want manifested into reality in our life. Suppose somebody is unwell What thought should we create for them? When they are unwell, what hot should we create for that person?
They are already ill. Looking at them, we are going to pain. Which means what are we doing to their illness?
We are aggravating their illness. Because we are increasing their sorrow and their pain. But that time what do we say to justify our action?
We say - They are ill. How can we think right at that moment? It is not about how we can think right at that moment.
We should ask how can we afford to think wrong when somebody is unwell. There is no situation in life at all Where we are allowed to think wrong.
