1/8

Whatever you think, that you will be.

We are the heirs of good and evil thoughts.

Thought is the finest and highest action of Prana.

We are what our thoughts have made us, so take

care of what you think. Words are secondary.

Thoughts live, they travel far. Each thought we

think is tinged with our own character,

..

Man cannot always think of matter, however

pleasurable it may be. The glory of man is that he is a thinking being.

If you think yourself pure, pure you will be.

What we think we tend to become.

Even thinking the least good of others gradually

instills into the heart the strength of a lion.

If you have to think, think good thought, greatthoughts.

Think away everything.

What we think we become.

Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts

make things ugly.

Thoughts can be guided and controlled. Doing is very great, but that comes from

thinking.. Fill the brain therefore,

with high thoughts, highest ideals;place them


2/8

day and night before you; and out of that will

come great work.

Thinkonly pure thoughts.

The infinite future is before you, and you mustalways remember that each word, thought,

and deed lays up a store for you, and that as the

bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring

upon you like tigers, so also there is the

inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good

deeds are ready with the power of a hundred

thousand angels to defend you always and

forever.

Every thought that we think, every deed that we

do, after a certain time becomes fine, goes into

seed form, so to speak, and lives in the fine body

in a potential form, and after a time, it emerges

again and bears its results. These resultscondition the life of a man. Thus he moulds

his own life. Man is not bound by any other laws

excepting those which he makes for himself.

Go on doing good, thinking holy thoughts

continuously, that is the only way to suppress

base impressions. Never say any man is

hopeless,because he only represents a character,a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new

and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and

repeated habits alone can reform character

.The chaste brain has tremendous energy

and gigantic will power.

Please be careful not to become impure even in

thought, as also in speech and action; always tryto do good to others as far as in you lies.

You must be perfectly pure.Do not think of

evil things, such thoughts will surely drag you

down.

UNCHASTE IMAGINATION IS AS BAD

AS UNCHASTE ACTION. Hold fast to the real Self, think only pure

thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a

regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and

silence comes the word of power.

Man is the product of two forces, action and

reaction, which make him think.

Think of nothing but liberation.

Do not open you mind, unless you feel it will

be positively beneficial.

Say, I am the Spirit! Nothing external can touch

me. When evil thoughts arise, repeat that, give

that sledge-hammer blow on their heads, I am

the Spirit! I am the Witness, the Ever-Blessed! Ihave no reason to do, no reason to suffer, I have

finished with everything, I am the witness. I am

in my picture gallery---------this universe is my

museum, I am looking at these successive


4/8

paintings. They are all beautiful. Whether good

or evil. I see the marvelous skill, but it is all one.

Infinite flames of the great Painter!

Hold your mind free. All this that you see, thepains and miseries, are but the necessary

conditions of this world; poverty and wealth and

happiness are but momentary.

The purer the mind, the easier it is to control.

The mind is omnipresent and can be heard and

felt anywhere. That man alone who is the lord of his mind can

be happy and none else.

It is the strong mind that hews its way through a

thousand difficulties.

It is our own mental attitude which makes the

world what it is for us.

Renunciation is of the mind.

The freedom of the mind is a delusion.

The whole world is in our own minds. Get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and

every stone that drops into it raises waves.

You must keep the mind fixed on one object, like

an unbroken stream of oil. Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.

The mind uncontrolled and unguided will

drag us down, down, for ever--------rend us,


5/8

kill us; and the mind controlled and guided

will save us, free us.

We must be the masters, and not the slaves of

nature; neither body nor mind must be ourmaster, nor must we forget that the body is mine,

and not I the bodys.

Always keep your mind joyful; if melancholy

thoughts come, kick them out.

The direction of the mind, which always runs

after the senses, has to be turned within. Mental pains are more poignant than physical

tortures.

Mental pleasures are greatly superior to physical

joys.

Purity of the mind must be insisted upon if you

would control it.

Purity of the mind is the first thing necessary.

Do not disturb your mind by vain arguments.

All that we see, we project out of our own minds.

How has all the knowledge in the world been

gained but by the concentration of the powers of

the mind? The world is ready to give up its

secrets, if we only know how to knock, how togive it the necessary blow. The strength and the

force of the blow come through concentration.

There is no limit to the power of the human

mind. The more concentrated it is, the more


6/8

power is brought to bear on one point; that is the

secret.

What I want is muscles of iron and nerves of

steel, inside which dwells a mind of the samematerials as that of which the thunderbolt is

made.

All knowledge that the world has ever received

comes from the mind; the infinite library of the

universe is in your own mind.

O Lord, be merciful to us. Make our minds calmand tranquil, make our hearts pure.

It is our own mental attitude which makes the

world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things

beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The

whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see

things in the proper light.

All power is in the human mind. We can masteranything, simply by giving our attention to it.

We are slaves to our own and to everybody elses

mind.

Fill the mind with the highest thoughts, hear

them day after day, think them month after

month.
