As You Sow, So You Reap
Thought is nothing but another name of destiny. So, we can make our fate ourselves—healthy or harmful. The patience leads us to success and prosperity, while the bitter (sick) feelings lead us to poverty and failure in every field of life. Good thoughts exist in a kind and noble heart and are expressed in a happy and co-operative attitude towards life. Everybody knows it very well that he gets, what he really deserves according to his pre actions. If man's acts are good and noble, the result will be the same i.e., good and noble, but if the action are bad or immoral, its result will be definitely negative (full of miseries). You can get roses (happiness) out of torns (sorrows and problems of life) but you cannot get fruits if you have sowed the seeds of Babool (acacia). It is the basic nature of every human invain for the fruits of prosperity and success from the seeds of anti-thoughts and feelings as pride, delusion, jealousy, ego and depression. We neglect this basic law of nature that the tree bears the fruits according to the nature of seeds Oh, how foolish we are ! We are always indulged in sowing the seeds of various diseases (Sick mentality) and expecting of a healthy and happy life. We must change our mentality and life if we really want to fulfil our dreams i.e., a life free of all worries and woes. We shoul have a positive attitude towards life if we wish for the positive results. What all of us are doing ? We sow the seeds of fear and anxiety in our hearts or we are always timid and doubtful for the success and when the result is same i.e., negative and hopeless we are puzzled and blame our circumstances of life or other factors for our failure.

The man who always thinks of failure, can never succeed; but the man who is ever hopeful and sure of success and acts with firm faith and patience, will get success and prosperity surely. We acquire, what we think. Our thoughts are very important and contribute much in getting good or bad results. The sad and pessimistic thoughts are like the thorny bushes. These stand as great hindrances in the way of our achievements. All the problems of our life may be solved in a moment, if we have hope and patience and not deflected by the temporary failures and problems. We may be the master of our fate, if we know the art of positive living. The feeling of equanimity, hope and courage is power while the feeling of equanimity, impatience and uncertainty is weakness. It depends on us what we choose, success or failure ?

One more thing, I want to say to you, What is it ? It is, that oue face or outer appearance is the reflection of our inner thoughts. When we see a selfish man, we can read and trace the marks of his bitter narrow thoughts on his face itself. On the other hand, when we meet a noble, generous man, we feel at that very moment that this man is blessed with overflowing nobility and goodness. You know, this is all the magic of our thoughts and feelings.

If a man cuts the flesh of his body through knife, then he should not cry and complain if it bleeds and pains him as he has gained what he has done. Similarly, if a man says ill words to others, he should be ready to hear the same. Our behaviour to others should be what we expect from others.

If you really wish in your life that others may be impressed by your personality and behaviour and tempted to you like a magnet, be hopeful and happy even in the time of misery and problems. You know, problems are the sign of life. We should never lose hope and courage but go on struggling in this war of life. We can easily win this battlefied i.e. of difficulties and failures if we maintain hope and patience and not be baffled by the failure. That is not the true criteria of one's character and capability or worthiness. It is not the success or failure that matters but it is the heroic sprit and healthu feelings that make us heroes in life. Be creative and active and make the best use of every precious moment of your life. If you follow the above principles in your life it will bring miracles in your life and all your high ambitions will be fulfilled, it is certain.
