The way one thinks,
that is what he finally becomes.
It is often said,
“The way you think, that will be the world before you.”
However, happiness and sadness is only a state of mind.
When we are promised security for the moment,
we experience less fear and hence the voice of the mind
that becomes less chaotic offers a little peace to the thinker.
That momentary peace gives joy
within and hence the thinker falsely leans
on the security that he has received rather
than realizing that both his states of worry
and peace were merely dependent on the way he alone thought.
We often feel that when
we are happy others too must be happy.
One may be very happy for what he received…
the same happiness that he received may become
a source of anxiety and unhappiness to another
who has yet not received the security that the former received.
Yet we pretend to be happy for the former
while we think and bring to ourselves misery
and anxiety.At every moment we bear within a new thought.
From this new thought is born a new analyzer.
From the new analyzer is born a new planner.
From this new planner is born the new desirer.
From the new desirer is born the new chaser.
The new chaser readily and willingly accepts
to chase that thought at any cost…
even at the cost of his own self.
And from that chase is born
the sufferer that is confident
that he will gain the ultimate peace
if he allows his thought to chase his mirage
and in that chase he is ready to leave behind
only temporarily his so-called ‘present peace’.
After he has caught his mirage
he feels he will return with its gain
to his self and add its treasures to his ‘present peace’.
All of this happens within the mind of the thinker,
and while he crushes himself for his dream
he crushes the present wealth of his peace
and as well the peace of those he lives and works for.
How very sad!Hence, O child
if you need to watch anything carefully,
watch your thought.
Watch if it dares to repeat.
Watch if it creates the havoc of fears in you.
Watch if it is asking for you to forget the
present knowledge you have gained to remember peace.
