4 Kinds of Thoughts

Thoughts are of various types: first, thoughts regarding the existing environment; second, thoughts regarding past environment; third, thoughts without environment; and fourth, fantastic thoughts.
Seated int the examination hall, the students think only about their question papers. These are all thoughts concerning the existing environment.
A student who once stood first in class, but who later fails in his examinations, sighs and remembers his achievements of the past. These are thoughts concerning past environment.
The third is thoughts having no environment. When someone is suffering, then he paints brightly dreams and launches imaginary balloons in his mind.
When people mentally combine some part or whole of an entity, with a part or whole of another entity, and then with a part or whole of still another entity - and by blending all these component parts, create an altogether new entity in their imagination, this is called "fantastic thought". Students, who do not want to labour hard to acquire knowledge, imagine a God bestowing knowledge on them.  
Whatever people see in imagination or think, the materials of these thoughts are all collected from the external world. People cannot think of anything which they have not previously seen or perceived with their sense organs.

Good Intentions bring Good Results

If you pray with the intention of doing good to someone, your prayer may bring about good both to him and to yourself.
All prayers with a motive fall short of the ideal prayer which is without motive.
For most persons, outer ceremonies and rituals are necessary to approach to God. However, they are neither essential nor necessary. They have no lasting value.
Some prayers contain an element of asking from God, either material or spiritual.
In fact, God is so merciful that even without their asking he always gives more than we can receive. He knows our real needs more deeply than we do. Therefore, the element of asking from God is superfluous.
The ideal prayer to God is: You praise Him, not in the spirit of bargain.

5-Fs in Life

Be Friendly, Fair, Frank, Firm and Flexible, the 5-F zone to follow in life. 
Position yourself in such a way that you do not become a victim of finding out who is right and who is wrong. It is not to decide who is wrong but to see what is right. Learn to be confident and learn to connect the 5 dots.
I came across many people who deny, and denial is a big problem. This inner denial makes them psychologically deaf and this inner deafness they try to defend. One has to try to communicate in different ways and make them hear. This is the challenge of the relationship. When a relationship has no challenge, then there is no fun. So have fun with your challenge.
People have not learnt the joy of being simple. Be simple, simplify life and then one can see life is as space to grow not merely age. One become a victim of habits. Then habits take over. 
Simplify life and see peace is fulfilling your life.

Give Thanks with Gratitude

While thankfulness is expressed in words, gratitude is shown in acts and deeds. Thankfulness is the beginning and gratitude is an end. Gratitude is natural and is to repay others for what has been received from them.
Those who do not have a natural urge and tendency to be free from debts is demoniacal.
When a person is given something without deserving or earning it, he becomes lazy. He should be grateful for what he have received and without being lazy, try to hold it with him till the last day.
Those who practice gratitude tend to be more creative, bounce back more quickly from adversity, have a stronger immune system, and have stronger social relationships than those who do not practice gratitude.

I'm a different kind of Anarchist

I want to raise our consciousness to the point where Government becomes futile, courts remain empty, and nobody is murdered, raped, tortured or harassed.
My emphasis is: raise our consciousness to the point where Governments become useless; to the point that courts start closing, that police start disappearing because there is no work, judges are told, "Find some other job".
First let people be ready- and Governments will disappear on their own account. Governments will evaporate like dewdrops in the early morning Sun.
I want a human society where people have no desire to compete with anybody; who have dropped the very idea that they are special and have to prove it; people who are no longer suffering from any inferiority complex, so nobody wants to be superior; nobody brags about his greatness.
It's simple, if you are sick, medicines are needed. I want to be healthy so you don't need medicines. I am not against medicines; I am against sickness which makes medicines necessary. I would like a healthier humanity and therefore there will be no need for medicines.
Everybody wants not to work, everybody hates work. So everybody needs assistance.
I am a category in myself, because my approach is totally different. I am not against Government; I am against the need for Government. I am not against courts; I am against the need for the courts.
