Negative thoughts.
Sēvāratṉā

We are body, mind, intellect and Ātmā; mind and intellect in
collaboration guide life. That collaborative healing power dives deep in
psyche, when a person entertains negative thoughts with mental confusion
and or suffers daily struggle with his problems. When that healing power
surfaces, we can find solution to the problems. There is only one way
and that is to remove all negative thoughts.
Dangerous Imaginations!
Negative thoughts cause confusion to a person who imagines he has
problems that do not exist in real life. Mother’s anxiety is beyond
description, when the child does not return home at the expected hour.
Could there have been an accident while crossing the street? Could he be
in the hospital because of an injury? Could someone have abducted him?
Such negative thoughts run amuck inside her mind.
The mind had throbbing anxiety. The body sweated. The blood pressure
rose high. She made phone calls to multiple contacts. She called her
husband and made him tremble with anxiety.
Half-hour later, her son came home, laughing.
He said that on his way he watched a cricket match.
When these dangerous imaginations are accompanied by fear, the wonderful
power goes deeper into the psyche. We are leaving home for a
destination. What is the purpose of this journey? What should we carry?
What time should we leave home? Is the passenger car in good condition?
These thoughts are all justified.
But, the negative thoughts under the circumstance are worrying about
accidents on the way and fear of arguments at the host’s house. The
great hidden Sakthi becomes the dying ash-laden embers. Only when you
remove the ash by blowing repeatedly, the power of fire will manifest.
Better still is not to allow negative thoughts in us.
The Tyranny of Disease
Negative thoughts pop up usually during illness. These days, most people
are familiar with medical sciences. When they have a minor cold or
fever, they entertain negative thoughts. They fear whether it was
malaria, dengue or chikungunya…The acquaintances offer negative opinions
and increase the fear.
Good doctors do not induce fear in patients and cure them with
reassuring words. The doctor’s kind words give confidence to patients,
which help manifest the erstwhile hidden power in the patient and get
them on the way to health. When afflicted with illness, we should remain
cautious but not panicky.
We call the physically impaired differently abled. We see many of them
have useful abilities and lead productive lives. We have an important
lesson to learn from them. That is, not to give in to negative thoughts.
Positive thoughts improve our life.
Subconscious Power!
The scientists performed more than a thousand experiments with the human
brain, discovered the interaction between mind, intellect and soul and
the performance power from their interaction. From their research, the

With love we can conquer a tiger!
Guru and his disciple were walking along a forest path. Suddenly, they
heard the tiger nearby. The disciple trembled in fear and said
piteously, “Guru, can we make a run?”
Guru: Yes, we can run. The tiger won’t give up chasing us. We don’t have
weapons to fight back. Let
us maintain silence, supplicate to God, keep our eyes closed and do
Dhyana. We don’t know God’s will. Just be patient for a while.”
Guru brought his mind to a focus and performed Dhyana. The tiger
disappeared going away from them.
Disciple: “O Guru, How wonderful! You chased the tiger.”
Guru: “I did not do anything great. I expelled the negative thoughts
form my mind and brought out the deep power of the mind to the surface.
That power brought tranquillity in the tiger and it left our presence.
If the mind and intelligence concentrate and when peace and tranquillity
prevail, that peace when externalized brings peace and tranquillity to
all around us.
