Selected Questions & Answers

Q: I see in the recent periodical that Master stresses the importance of positive thinking. I see that addressed more and more in the articles. I know that positive thinking will drive positive energy around you and avoid the negative energy around you. How about its relationship with karma? I mean does that positive thinking change karma, or not?

M: Sometimes can, sometimes can not. Depends on how deep the karma is and depends on how truly positive your thinking is -- the power of your thinking not just because you want to think positive, it will be positive. Depends on how much money you spend behind your desire. You can't just desire something and have it. You must have the money for it too. Similarly, you think positively, but your mind is not strong enough to invest the power of mental control over this thinking. Then, even if you think, it's just a thought for a fleeting moment. It doesn't have any effect.

So, we must meditate. We must harness the power of our will again in order to focus it together. And once we are focused and we concentrate the power in whichever direction we want to use it, or for whatever purpose, it would be powerful. But before that whatever you want, whatever you think, it's just very flat. No power. So, people just go with positive thinking. But, nothing is done. Nothing happens. Then they will doubt the people who say what positive thinking will do. But, it is not the people who say, who are wrong. It's not the author who says, who is wrong. It's the person who practices, who is wrong. He didn't have enough power to even think, never mind negative or positive.
