Query:
How can you help others to Think Positive when their mind is used to Negative Thinking?
Sometimes people do Work Hard but they do not get any returns for many years, How do you encourage people to
believe in Good Karma?
Vijay
Kumar: Unless the incumbent was willing
to interact... nothing can help in the matter! No teacher can force a student to come first in class! We can all
act as a guide in the journey of life! When young... very young I was fascinated by life stories of learned people!
Biographies and autobiographies was my pet subject!
I read every biography or autobiography I could lay my hands upon! Books by Napoleon Hill are
truly great in helping one realize the power of positive thinking! One must read books by Napoleon Hill... no
matter what! Every human being who truly wants to succeed in life must read all about Napoleon Hill and what he has
to say about life!
When we indulge in hard work and do not get repaid in
the same terms... negative feelings takeover! We feel depressed unable to understand the logic behind such
dealings of God. At times people lost their total faith in God Almighty. But is God Almighty to blame for
karma indulged by us?
Until we understood the absolute crux of life that human form has been manifested by our soul
atman... the spirit within... we do not get anywhere! JRD Tata... the most successful technological pioneer of
India rightly said, "I was born a trustee"... everything belonged to God Almighty... I had just to take care of his
belongings in the best possible manner!
Throughout his life JRD Tata took best care of everything ordained to him by God Almighty!
Tata Empire grew by leaps and bounds under the able stewardship of JRD Tata... popularly called Jeh... the man of
steel! JRD Tata truly was a Karma Yogi par excellence... who never considered anything his own!
At no stage of life JRD Tata ever considered the whole Tata Empire his own! In the similar fashion every single
human being on mother earth must live life! As our soul atman... the spirit within is the absolute master and
controller of human body... the fruits of karma performed by human beings also belonged to our soul atman... our
true real inner self!
If we suffer in present life... all owes its existence to negative karma performed by us in
previous manifestations! To get out of clutches of negative karma... we have to indulge in positive karma all the
time! Where is the question of quitting midway! If we are born at a negative karmic index of -47, we have to
indulge in positive karma and gain +47 marks!
Only then residual balance of karma from previous manifestations would negate to zero! The
moment residual balance of karma from previous manifestations became zero... it shall be happiness all the way
further down! As seeds of negative karma have been eliminated altogether... we shall only experience happiness all
the time!
Sometimes eliminating negative karma from previous manifestations in one manifestation may be difficult but we have
no other alternative! For tyrants like Hitler... it may be many manifestations before the residual balance of karma
negated to zero! The soul atman of Hitler would continue to suffer in the physical manifest form for many many
generations to come!
After brutally killing so many people... the soul atman of Hitler could not manifest the form
of a human being again in near future! It would again and again manifest form of an animal... even insect or a
plant... the lower species! Why indulge in negative karma and manifest a lower form? We must always remember human
form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle!
For wise... indulgence in positive karma all the time is the only right step forward! No
matter what... we have to understand the crux of karma... the definition of karma in its entirety! Karma acts as
accountant general of cosmic system... keeping record of minutest action indulged by human beings. Every single
thought precipitates into an act of karma!
Negative thinking scores negative points on scales of karma! We are not allowed to think negative. If we do so...
we only earn negative marks! To get out of clutches of bad karma... we have to indulge in positive karma all the
time... prime reason why spiritual people indulged in positive karma most of time!
The path of pure spirituality... the path of spiritual awareness is ingrained with happiness
all around! But on path of pure spirituality we do not enjoy material comforts as our counterparts! Those who
indulged in material comforts of life indulged in vice. For a straightforward positive thinking person... there is
no place for material comforts in life!
A straightforward honest person just cannot survive in India. But for a straightforward
honest person to survive in United States of America is not only possible... one can also look forward to a bright
future ahead! It is an irony of fate that for an honest truthful person to survive in India is not only
difficult... but a matter of life and death.
Still, as we are born in this country... we must never call quits... we must indulge in our best in the present
circumstances! Rajendra Prasad the first president of an independent republic India studied all his life under a
street lamp! He never bickered on petty things of life! He took all things in right stride that came his
way!
It is difficult for ladies to understand the crux of karma... still, we have no other
alternative! We must try to understand that some people all of a sudden win a lottery! How? Such a happening did
not result from karma of present life! Nothing in cosmic system happens all of a sudden. Everything results from
our karma performed in previous manifestations!
What if positive residual balance of karma from previous manifestations fructified suddenly!
We are bound to win a lottery... and enjoy a windfall! Practising patience, persistence and perseverance at its
best is the best solution in such times! Who knows when a small part of residual balance of positive karma
precipitates in our favor? All is possible in the house of God.
God Almighty keeps testing us all the time! In India we call it Agni Pariksha! If we truly desire succeeding in
every Agni Pariksha undertaken by God... we have to bear with fruits of bad karma indulged by us in previous
manifestations! With passage of time... everything heals! Spirituality is the best healer of all! Spiritual healing
has no other alternative!
As per Bhagavad Gita nothing belongs to us at any stage of life. When nothing belongs to
us... where is the cause for worry! As ordained by God Almighty our soul atman has taken the present human form for
a mere 70 to 80 years of earthly sojourn. Either we pass it laughingly or with a heavy heart criticizing God all
the time!
Why betray the trust God Almighty placed in us! Journey in human form is the most pleasant
experience for a soul atman! Before manifesting human form... our soul atman has already manifested 7.3 million
forms in insect, plant and animal life! Still as a human being we indulged in negative thinking! The highest
manifest form indulging in trivialities of life... simply unbelievable!
Only in human form our soul atman finally reaches last leg of cosmic life when human beings gained enlightenment in
their 8.4 millionth manifestation! Gautama Buddha in the initial stages of spiritual pursuit was so depressed with
life that he might have committed suicide! But his resolve was absolute... he had to find the absolute truth... no
matter what!
Mahavira... the 24 Tirthankara of Jainism (preceptor) gained enlightenment at 42 years of
age! For full 30 years Mahavira preached to mankind whatever he gained on spiritual path! On the contrary Gautama
Buddha gained enlightenment in the last leg of earthly domain! He was almost 80 years of age when Gautama Buddha
gained enlightenment!
By that time the body of Gautama Buddha was so frail that Gautama Buddha left his mortal
frame at 81 years of age. While living in community Gautama Buddha did not gain enlightenment. He left for deep
dense forests for contemplation... Neither living in isolation Gautama Buddha gained enlightenment. Finally Gautama
Buddha took the middle path.
Neither living in community could one gain enlightenment nor in isolation of forests... so declared Gautama Buddha!
Finally Gautama Buddha proclaimed taking middle path! All teachings of Buddhism are based on this premise! If we
have the will... we always have a way out! When our willpower is absolute... God Almighty guides us all
along!
We have nothing to fear ever in life! As everything belonged to God Almighty... we just
needed to take care of his belongings that he entrusted to us with full faith! We cannot lose trust in God ever! In
the system of God trust is always one-sided. Our faith in God Almighty must always remain firm and absolute! Only
then we reap the fruits of karma in present life.
In the present earthly domain in the last about 150 years only two persons reached stage of
enlightenment... Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana! Reading anything related to these spiritual
stalwarts is of great help! You can relate incidents from life of these spiritual stalwarts to your partner in
making! With passage of time all would even out.
Positive thinking is an art that has to be cultivated
step-by-step slowly! Treading the path of tortoise is not only painful but difficult. But the end truly
belongs to us! In the race between hare and tortoise... the tortoise always wins the race... no matter what!
On the earthly domain it may sometimes appear that hare has won.
In the field of pure spirituality... it is honesty... sincerity... hard work that ultimately
pays in the end! Accumulating material riches by indulgence in vice earns negative marks! People indulging in
negative karma ultimately suffered in the end! Why follow path of deceit for pure temporary gains! The end always
belongs to those who remained sincere, truthful and hard-working all along!
Born in a village... I never thought I would ever realize God in present life! However in the
wee hours of third of August 1993 I finally realized God at 37 years of age! This is my last manifestation... the
8.4 millionth manifestation! Nowhere to go further... I shall but attain salvation (moksha) the moment I leave my
mortal frame!
This does not mean I did not have my quota of sufferings! How many times I had to eat hell for breakfast... how
many contemplations of suicide I do not remember. But my resolve to find God in this very life was absolute. I was
prepared for every single suffering that was ordained to me by God Almighty! I was always after the end result...
never indulging midway!
