It is estimated that on any given day, approximately 10,000 thoughts go through your head. How many of those thoughts were really useful?

Nothing can hurt you as much as your own thinking. Continual repetition of self-doubts and self-attack.

Pay attention to your thinking, and see how much of it is based on fears, judgments and worries. Basically, fear, worry and judgments are "all in the mind".

How do you rid yourself of these repetitive self-sabotaging thoughts? By searching through your past with deep analysis for years and years, or by allowing yourself to let go, forgive, and choose peace and love.

Thoughts are usually based on past or future. Since the past is over and future is yet to come, your thoughts are not real. In other words your thinking is an illusion.

No thought has any power over you or any more importance than you give it, they have no power of their own.

You and you alone choose your thoughts. To live a happy life, it is important that you have a happy relationship with your thoughts. Rather than spending your time in deep self analysis, try meditation, yoga or breathwork, they are all helpful to bypass thinking and calm the mind.

The only thing that can block you from unconditional love is your thinking. The only thing that can block you from personal success is your thinking.

Everyday you start with a blank slate. You cannot control what comes into your life, but you can control your perception and how you think about it.

Stop thinking and start living!

Self-love is very essential in boosting our self-esteem. A person having self-love is contented with his own presence, whereas a person who does not have self-love always wanders to get love from other people or things. He is always restless. He never feels satisfied even after receiving love from people. His hunger for love never ceases, and hence he demands more and more attention from others. As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

The spiritual science of Akram Vignan helps us find the balance between taking care of our material responsibilities and pursuing our spiritual goals, very easily, as this spiritual science works alongside our material obligations. In Akram Vignan, the fundamental change starts internally when the ignorance of the Self is completely removed through the grace of the Enlightened Being (Gnani Purush).

Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
