BENEFIT FROM POSITIVE THINKING COMPANIONS: We often say that the company he keeps knows a person. A sensitive mind easily absorbs the vibrations emanating from the thoughts of the people with whom it associates. Deep thought has even the ability to extract knowledge and information from the higher dimensional knowledge space.
Birds of the same feather flock together. This rule has stood the test of ages. Therefore, if you want to be prosperous you must have links with the prosperous people. With the process of time, you will also attract prosperity because of the encouragement and guidance from such people.
But if you are encircled with such people who are satisfied with average life-style and they believe in predetermined destiny, you are also likely to remain average in progress like them. There is a great truth in the saying that like attracts like. Your negative thinking companions would like you to accept your present situation and would not think in favour of your progress. Therefore, keep away from such people who want the death of your dreams.

NEGATIVE SIDE OF POSITIVE THINKING: Thoughts are neither negative nor positive. Thoughts just are. What they turn out to be depends on the context. Given a context, thoughts can be realistic or unrealistic, mean or generous, selfish or selfless. In reality, no positive thought can arise without a negative thought hiding around it. It is up to you to remain alert from negative side of positive thinking.
Positive thoughts can turn negative very quickly. Why? Because they organize in the same source. They are inter-connected. Negative thinking comes from the same-shared space as positive thinking. Thoughts become positive or negative depending on you. It is you who sets the standards and values by which you evaluate thoughts.
A lot of people talk about falling standards of every thing — food, music, newspapers, movies, the young generation, or whatever. Actually standards have neither fallen nor risen. Standards have just shifted. Your value frames have changed.

POSITIVE THINKING:
They say that the world is but a thought of God. However, it is also true that a man is but the product of his thoughts. What the man thinks, he becomes. So we are what we think.
All our religious leaders have emphasized the importance of prayer. A prayer is in fact a thought repeated with fervour that releases the energy within us to achieve what we want.
It is necessary to point out that to surrender to what some call as the ‘predetermined fate’ has practically proved to be surrender to ignorance. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
Our thoughts are unrestricted. They are absolutely free, free to travel and free to influence us – for better or for worse. Let us recognize this fact and harness positive thoughts for our well-being and betterment.
As thought is the most potent force, we need to use this force to make our life meaningful one. Our thoughts are the foundation, the inspiration, the motivating power of our deeds. We create our entire world by the way we think. Thoughts are the causes and conditions are the effects.
People deal too much with the negative. That is wrong. So, why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom.
Though, we are influenced by our surroundings and environment, yet our circumstances and conditions may not be created by the outside world. Because the positive world inside us creates the outside.
Self-awareness comes from the mind, which means soul. Mind is the sum total of the states of consciousness grouped under thought, will and feeling. Besides self-consciousness, we have the power to choose and think.
A man’s mind does not remain inactive. Even when he is bodily inactive, he is all the time active on the thought plane. Therefore, if we observe ourselves, we can easily mould our thoughts.
Every thought, no matter how fleeting, leaves a seed in the mind of the thinker. Small seeds together go to make up a large thought seed and determine one’s general character. Our thoughts affect the whole body. Each thought once generated and sent out becomes independent of the brain and mind and will live upon its intensity.
Every thought we think, every act we perform, creates in us an impression. That impression, like every thing else, is subject to cyclic law and becomes repetitive in our mind. We alone have the choice to create our thoughts and develop the kind of impressions that make our actions more positive.
Right introspection will be required of us to determine what we really desire to effect. Let us choose the thought seeds of right ideas, noble and courageous aspirations that will be received by minds of the same nature.
Every thing in the universe is so much inter-related and inter-dependent that we live in one and another. So by accepting the grand principle of universal brotherhood, we shall be in a position to appreciate what a heavy responsibility is ever ours to think right. Let us reflect and send loving and helpful thoughts and lighten the load of world’s suffering. Positive thinking is a string force that can be harnessed for the welfare and success of all.
We talk of positive thinking as a stress buster for good health. Happy thoughts release hormones that work for our well-being and negative thoughts release hormones that make us ill.
We exhort our children to keep their goals in mind. What is determination but the capacity to think the same thought repeatedly until we achieve what we want?
Thoughts not only have potency for the person thinking the thoughts but also, they have the power to influence the people at whom they are directed. Reiki, for instance, is the art of self-healing, even distance healing. The violent can be made calm by exuding thoughts of love and compassion.

A Rationalist's observation on 'Soul' & its 'Re-incarnation'.
The pangs of fear of not achieving salvation (from false concept of re-incarnation of souls), in majority cases, may be charged directly to religious fanaticism. For hundreds of millions of years man has been asking the still unanswered question—“Whence” and “Whither”— from where did his soul come at birth and where it is going at death?
The thought of eternal punishment destroys interest in life and makes happiness impossible. The religious leader may not be able to provide safe conduct into heaven. But, the very thought of hell hold the imagination in such a realistic way that it paralyzes reason, and sets up the fear of death.
Since the dark ages of the past, more cunning and crafty, as well as the honest but credulous of the human race have been active to offer the answer to these questions, along with their explanation of “Salvation” for a price. In fact, the answering of these questions has become one of the so called “learned” professions, despite the fact that but little learning is required to enter this profession. Nobody knows wherefrom our souls come at birth and where the same go after death. Any person claiming otherwise is either deceiving himself or he is a conscious imposter who makes it a business to live without rendering service of value, through play upon the credulity of humanity. The doctrine of “Salvation” is based upon the notion that certain portion of human personality called the “Soul” survives after death. The hope of “Salvation” has filled the coffers of the Priest-Parasites with more gold and silver, as they have reduced ethics to ignoble commercial arithmetic and have prospered on fraud and superstition. Liberation of humanity from superstition is necessary to achieve scientific ethics in the interest of human growth. Actuality and growing civilized human personality rule the Earth.
The various religious denominations are but competing brands in the market-place or public perceptions and consumer loyalty. Indeed, many schools of metaphysics go far beyond the borders of religion. Religion is good so long as it preserves and promotes humanity. Beyond that we are compelled to reject it, because religion is for humanity and not humanity for religion. Therefore, take life as it comes to you by developing a positive attitude, without the fear of death created by superstition.
The fear of death is not as common now as it was during the old ages. Men of science have turned the spotlight of truth upon the world and this truth is rapidly freeing people from this terrible fear of death. Through the aid of biology, astronomy, geology and other related sciences, the fears of dark ages which gripped the minds of men have been dispelled.
The entire world is made up of two things, energy and matter. In elementary physics, we learn that neither matter, nor energy (the only two realities known to man) can be created, nor destroyed. Both matter and energy can be transformed, but neither can be destroyed.
Life is energy, if it is any thing. If neither energy, nor matter can be destroyed, of course life cannot be destroyed. Life, like other forms of energy, may be passed through various processes of transition, or change, but it cannot be destroyed. Therefore, “death” is mere transition.
If death is not mere change, or transition, then nothing comes after death except a long, eternal, peaceful sleep, and sleep is nothing to be feared. Thus, you may wipe out, for ever, the false concept of re-incarnation of souls.

Psychology of Success.
CHIEF ASPECTS OF SUCCESS:
I. PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECT: It consists of the following factors.
(1) Evolution of Thought into Burning Desire: As we think of some material object, we feel about it. Repeated feelings give rise to wishes and we hope to do something about it. Our repeated wishes about a material object take the shape of a desire. The desire creates a strong feeling of wanting to get that material object. Many people “Wish” for many things. But a “Wish” is not the equivalent of a strong desire. Wishes are of little or no value unless they are crystallized into the more definite forms of desire. When the desire becomes strongly well established both in the Conscious Mind, as well as in the Sub-Conscious Mind, we may call it a burning desire or an obsession for that particular idea or object in our mind.
(2) Evolution of Burning Desire into a definite “Chief Aim” : A burning desire can become a constantly Deep Seated Strong Desire. When such a strong desire is capable of becoming a definite “Chief Aim” to convert it into a reality, then it is the starting point of all achievement. Thus, your "Chief aim" that is like a dream would be meaningless unless based upon a strong desire. To achieve that, simple planning does not work. It must be backed by persistence, which does not recognize failure.
(3) Working of The Law of Attraction: Law of Attraction causes elements and forces of similar nature to gather around certain centers of attraction. Through this law, the burning desire attracts the means of securing it or the physical equivalent of the thing desired. We focus our Conscious Mind upon our objective or dream, by constant thought of it and belief in its attainment, until the Sub-Conscious Mind takes up the outline or picture of this dream and impels us to take the necessary physical action to transform that picture into reality.
(4) Great Power of Dreams: Thoughts evolve into your "Chief Aim" that acquires the stage of a dream capable of realization. However, are four types of dreamers among the people in the world –
A. Dream-makers: They are those people who with their hard-work and
dedication realize their dreams without any loss of time.
B. Dream-bakers: They are the people who after seeing some dream
spend whole of their life in realizing that dream.
C. Dream-undertaker: They are those people who with their open eyes in
the morning see some dream and go to sleep after the sunset. They
never transform any of their dreams into reality.
D. Dream-taker: They are the people who fear to dream of any thing.
However, they try to steal other people’s dreams.
You can realize your dreams in reality if you believe you can. This changing world in which we live is demanding new ideas, new ways of doing things. Back of all this demand for new and better things is the quality of open-mindedness, receptive mind, the knowledge of what one wants, a burning desire and belief to possess it.
TRUE DREAMERS KEEP IN MIND –
1. Open Mindedness: Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage and belief. Open mindedness is essential to make use of new ideas for realization of dreams. There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing until he develops in the mind the necessary faith and believes that he can acquire it by following usable ideas. The state of mind must be belief, not mere wish or hope.
2. Practical Actions: Dreamers back up their burning desire with practical actions for achieving success. A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreamers are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition. All who succeed in life get off to a bad start and pass through many heart-breaking struggles, before they “arrive”. No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
3. Constructive Objective: It is a well established principle of psychology that a person’s acts are always in harmony with the dominating thoughts of his or her mind. Accordingly, your definite "Chief Aim" in life should be selected with deliberate care. Be sure that your "Chief Aim" is constructive.
4. Chief Aim: Through working relationship between Imagination, Conscious and Sub-Conscious minds, we reach the first step in the achievement of any definite "Chief Aim". In doing so, we create a definite picture of that thing which is desired. This picture must be held in the mind through the Law of Concentration, along with the exact awareness of your potentialities and talents.
5. Self-Hypnotism: By daily reference to a definite statement containing your “Chief Aim,” the thing aimed for is taken up by the Conscious Mind and handed over to the Sub-Conscious Mind through Auto-Suggestion, or the suggestion, which you repeatedly make to yourself. It is a degree of self-hypnotism through which the Sub-Conscious Mind in turn directs the energies of the body to transform your burning desire for that thing into material form. The impulse of strong burning desire recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no reality as failure.
6. Faith And Belief: Faith and belief are necessary for realization of your dreams. There is nothing right or wrong, which belief, plus burning desire, cannot make real. These qualities are free to everyone to successfully deal with adversities. Mental Chemistry works magic.
7. Organized Effort: Dreamers throw their heart and soul into their particular line of endeavour to achieve their objective. They know that success depends on power and power is organized effort. Therefore, the first step in the direction of organized effort is to develop definite actionable plans to achieve your purpose.
8. Persistence: Practical dreamers do not quit. After deciding what they actually want, practical dreamers persistently pursue the object of their desire till it is finally achieved. If they meet with temporary defeat, they do keep in mind that every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success. Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity. Despite more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality. Similar is the story of Wright brothers who dreamed of a machine that would fly through the air.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS THAT CONVERTS THOUGHTS INTO SUCCESS ARE—
1. Every voluntary movement of body is caused, controlled and directed by
thought, through the operation of mind.
2. The presence of any thought or idea in our consciousness tends to
produce an associated feeling which is apt to urge upon us to transform
that feeling into muscular action that is in perfect harmony with the
nature of our thought.
3. If we choose life-work to realize a definite purpose, it becomes the
dominating thought in our consciousness, and we are constantly on the
alert for facts, information and knowledge with which to achieve that
purpose.
4. Deep Seated Strong Desire determines what our definite purpose in life
shall be, unless we permit it to be pushed aside by conflicting desires. If
the object of desire is within reason, it is practically sure of realization. In
Short – The stages leading from desire to its fulfillment are –
FIRST: The burning desire.
SECOND: The crystallization of that desire into a definite purpose.
THIRD: The sufficient appropriate action or work to achieve that
purpose.
REMEMBER to make your “Definite Chief Aim” clear by keeping in mind the fact that your aim cannot be too high. Back it up with persistence which does not recognize the word "impossible". Know WHAT you want, WHY you want it, WHEN you want it, WHERE you want it, WHO is to ally (if any) with you in getting it, HOW you intend to get it. This may be called as the “5WH” formula – what, why, where, when, who and how.
II. ECONOMIC ASPECT: It consists of two factors—
(1) Personal Effort: Hard labour and good intentions are not sufficient to carry a man through success, unless he has established in his mind some definite object that he wishes to achieve. If a steamship lost its rudder in the mid-ocean and began circling around, it would soon exhaust its fuel supply without reaching the shore, despite the fact that it would use up enough energy to carry it to the shore and back several times. So, until a man selects a definite purpose in life, he dissipates his energies and spreads his thoughts over so many subjects and in so many different directions that may not lead to success. Rather, such an attitude will lead to indecision, weakness, and wastage of time, energy and economic resources.
(2) Allied Effort: Out of allied effort comes greater power and economy. That which one person can accomplish single handed, during an entire life-time, is but meagre at best. But that which one man may accomplish through the principle of alliance with other men is practically without limitation. Concentration of allied effort and the habit of working with a definite “Chief Aim” are two of the essential factors in greater success, which are always found together. One leads another.
III. SOCIAL ASPECT:
As a result of the Law of Attraction, like-minded people flock together. Go out into any cheap boarding house locality in any city and there you will find people of the same general trend of mind associated together. On the other hand, go into any prosperous community and there you will find people of the same general tendencies associated together. Men, who are successful, always seek company of such persons who are successful, while men who are on the ragged side of life always seek the company of those who are in similar circumstances. “Misery loves company”. As such, you will attract to you such people who harmonize with your own philosophy of life, whether you wish or not. This being true, you can see the importance of revitalizing your mind with a definite “Chief Aim” that will attract to you people who will be of help to you and not a hindrance.
I. PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECT: It consists of the following factors.
(1) Evolution of Thought into Burning Desire: As we think of some material object, we feel about it. Repeated feelings give rise to wishes and we hope to do something about it.

Concentration of allied effort and the habit of working with a definite “Chief Aim” are two of the essential factors in greater success, which are always found together. One leads another.
III. SOCIAL ASPECT:
As a result of the Law of Attraction, like-minded people flock together. Go out into any cheap boarding house locality in any city and there you will find people of the same general trend of mind associated together. On the other hand, go into any prosperous community and there you will find people of the same general tendencies associated together. Men, who are successful, always seek company of such persons who are successful, while men who are on the ragged side of life always seek the company of those who are in similar circumstances. “Misery loves company”. As such, you will attract to you such people who harmonize with your own philosophy of life, whether you wish or not. This being true, you can see the importance of revitalizing your mind with a definite “Chief Aim” that will attract to you people who will be of help to you and not a hindrance.

Power of Thought
I. POWER OF THOUGHT
Man alone has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality. Man alone can dream and make his dreams come true. Through evolution and struggle during millions of years man has risen above the other creatures of the earth as a result of his own thoughts and their effects upon himself. Through the evolutionary power of thought the hopes and ambitions of one generation became a reality in the next. Hence, it is necessary to study this subject in detail. Main Features of the Power of Thought are –
1. THOUGHT IS THE MOST POTENT FORCE: Thought is the precursor of word and deed and is the most potent and powerful force. The battle is first fought and won in the mind. Success is achieved twice, once in the mind and second time in the real world. Visualizing your goals and success through thought is an important skill for any successful person. No matter in whose mind thought occurs; its laser-like energy seeks target. Thought as a potent force is well recognized since ages.
2. POWER OF THOUGHT IS LIMITLESS: No one knows the limitations of the power of thought or whether or not it has any. Whatever man believes he can do, he eventually does. But a few generations back, the more imaginative writers dared to write of the ‘horseless carriage’, and lo! It became a reality and is now a common vehicle.
3. THOUGHTS ARE THINGS: The man who knows how to use his power of thought constructively and persistently wins success. Fortunate is the person who has found how to arouse or stimulate his thinking mind so that the powers of the mind will function constructively. Such a mind may be made to do anything constructive when placed back of any strong, deeply seated desire. Thoughts being things do in fact have power, because your every thought and word is contributing to your life experience. Your thoughts produce emotions that in turn, result in how you feel about a particular event occurring in your life. However, two people can look at the exactly same event and have opposite feelings about it. The feelings accordingly affect one's actions leading to results in various things. Thus, you are creating your own reality, moment by moment, with the thoughts you choose to think and what you say, both to yourself and others.
Closely monitor your every thought, word and feelings. When you catch yourself dwelling in the negative, interrupt your pattern and substitute it with a positive thought. It is said that every thought consistently held for about 15 to 20 seconds will begin to attract a similar energy. This is one of the reasons you read your life’s vision and goals daily. This will hold your attention on thoughts of those things which you want and help you bring it towards you.
4. THOUGHTS EMPOWER MAN TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS: Man’s dominating position in the world is the direct result of thought. The power of thought has been given the dominating position in one’s life. It is this very power that you as an individual use in the attainment of success. No matter what may be your idea of what represents success.
5. ALL THOUGHT IS CREATIVE OR PRODUCTIVE: Thoughts can produce both positive and negative things. So, all thought is not constructive or positive. The power to “think” as you wish to “think” is the only power over which you have absolute control. If you think thoughts of misery or poverty and see no way to avoid these conditions, then your thoughts will create those very conditions and curse you with them. But, reverse the order and think thoughts of a positive, expectant nature. Then your thoughts will create those very positive conditions. Therefore, it rests upon you as to whether your thought will be of positive or negative type.
6. WHATEVER YOU COVCEIVE, YOU CAN ACHIEVE: Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. It is because thoughts are powerful things when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose and a burning desire for their translation into material object by application of known principles being discussed here.
7. THOUGHTS MAGNATIZE YOUR PERSONALITY: You are the master of your faith and the captain of your soul by reason of the fact that you control your own thoughts with whose aid you may create whatever you desire. Thought magnetizes your entire personality and attracts to you the outward physical things that harmonize with the nature of your thoughts. Through power of thought, you should take an inventory of yourself for the purpose of ascertaining the factors or qualities with which you need to give your-self a well balanced and rounded out personality to achieve success.
8. THOUGHTS LEAD TO INFINITE INTELLIGENCE: Plant a definite "Chief Aim" in your sub-conscious mind and fertilize it with full positive belief. Belief will pave the way for “Infinite Intelligence” to step in to mature that project into exact reality. Any thing short of positive belief or faith will bring you disappointment.
9. THOUGHTS ARE GOLDMINES: More gold has been mined from thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth. But, success comes to those who are success conscious. Success begins with a state of mind with definiteness of purpose. It comes only to those people who work hard and long with positive attitude.
10. TOUGHTS CAN MAKE YOU SUCCESS CONSCIOUS: You can create success consciousness in your mind. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious with negative attitude. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing is to quit. That is what majority of men do. However, they could avoid defeat by learning the art of changing their thoughts or minds from failure consciousness to success consciousness.

IMPACT OF AMBEDKARISM
They say, "Hindu youths must go back to their roots and understand their scriptures". But, I am afraid of the results that have been produced by these scriptures, and therefore suggest that the Constitution of India should be understood deeply much more than a holy scripture, or rather it must be accepted as a new religion. Moreover, if something is in the interest of the people, its flexibility can be used to realize the nation's objectives, particularly because the holy scriptures cannot be re-written, as they contained the will of the 'God'.
