Thoughts Are Things - Part 39

What is your most important possession in this world? 

YOUR MIND
- without a healthy mind all is lost. 

It is the great obstacle that 
prevents us from knowing oneself.
The same mind that separates us from the self 
is the same mind that helps us unite with it.

Swami Durgananda

Amanda's Comment: My mind can be my worst enemy and my dearest friend... 
Learning to take control of the mind, becoming aware of every thought, every waver seems like an impossible feat - however I know it is possible because Swami has done it.

 Negative self-defeating thoughts eat away 
at your health, resolve and stamina like cancer.
By thinking POSITIVE
by suggesting to yourself that you are happy

You will be making your world a good place to be.

Swami Durgananda

Thoughts Are Things - Part 33

Normally one is not conscious of the workings of the mind. 

Most actions are performed subconsciously. 

 Therefore to be spiritual and take control of the mind you must develop

introspective powers which will give you insight to 
the working of the mind. 

 Then when this is accomplished
no thought however insignificant will go unnoticed.

Swami Durgananda

Amanda's Comment: Definition of introspection, noun [mass noun]

• the examination or observation of one’s own mental and emotional processes:  quiet introspection can be extremely valuable  http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/introspection?q=introspection

Thank you Swami for this wisdom, I understand now how important it is develop insight into the workings of the mind, how important it is to get to know yourself on all levels.   

 Being aware of your thoughts is essential, the mind is powerful and 'thoughts are things'.
