reading

in my mini satsang this morning, this was one of my readings and I though I would share it with you today..

Thought can be either negative, positive or shallow. When thought becomes negative it is very painful and when it is positive, it lifts you up. Depending upon the condition into which you are thrown, thought plays a most important role in your life. You meet a person on the street, you fall in love...just like magic, so you call it 'love'. The thought waves take a specific pattern and suddenly there is a meeting of thought. Thought waves merge. Then after some time, perhaps, the thoughts change and instead of 'I love you honey', it becomes 'I hate you!' These phrases are only thought, nothing more. It is not that the person has changed, it is that the thought waves are no longer merging and there is now no communication, So there is friction, separation, suffering and you will never see that person again. The moment you think of that person you have unhappiness and pain.
Wherever there is union of thought it brings peace, love, happiness and joy. Whenever thought becomes unbearable due to different or opposite wavelengths there is suffering, pain, war and calamity. So the whole world is nothing but a projection of your thought, There is nothing but thought. Reality is thought.

    thank you, this was taken from the book "Upadesha" - Teachings of Swami Vishnudevananda.
    This book is filled with extracts taken from talks.

    He was an inspiring teacher who used humour, anecdote and stories to make some of the more complex aspects of Yoga accessible to the general public.
