Our performance depends on our thoughts. So we must be true in thoughts, words and deeds. every good or bad thing begins with thoughts. This world is like a Kalpa Vrikha. You get what you think. I remember a story. Once a Brahmin happened to sit in the shadow of Kalpa Vriksha. What you think you get when sitting in shadow of the Kalp tree. Brahamin thought of water and some damsels came with water. He drank. Then a thought came of songs and dance. The damsels began singing and dancing. suddenly, an idea struck that his wife would beat him with broom if she saw him with so many damsels. Quick appeared his wife and beat him blue and black.
Of course our entire life is nothing but a series of actions and reactions....many a times we get drawn in like ripples in a pool through others actions for which we may not be directly responsible , as well and this can have an impact on our life - it could be both negative or positive !
Every thought we think creates some impressions in our mind called samskara, the sum total of which forms our beliefs, habits and character. Thought is energy, which always produces its result, which can be either good or bad, depending on what we think. So we should always think about what we think…
