As a man thinketh so he becometh. As you think constantly of God you become God. If you think of the world, your mind will be restless.

As a man thinketh so he becometh. As you think constantly of God you become God. If you think of the world, your mind will be restless. Therefore, in the first place, you have to establish a relationship with God. Look upon Him as your father or mother and yourself as His son or daughter, and surrender your entire life to Him saying, "I am nothing, O God, You are everything." Then it is that God reveals Himself in your heart in all His splendour. He fills every part of your being and the distinction between you and Him disappears, Christ said, "I and my father are one." That will be true in your case also. Christ is the Cosmic Consciousness, and every one of you, the embodiment of that Consciousness. So by the grace of the Father, Master and Mother, you are raised to that state in which you realise your identity with Him. Thereafter, your eyes see only God everywhere, within and without. All sense of diversity will completely disappear. The fountain of your heart will open and love will flow out towards everybody alike. You have now no enemy in the world. Your heart is replete with ineffable peace and joy. It is not a momentary joy but you have it for all the twenty-four hours of the day. As you have found within you the ocean of joy, you will have no desires for anything in the world.

The more you think about the world, the more your heart is filled with dirt and filth. The more you bring Sri Krishna into your heart, the more it is filled with bliss and peace. Chant the Mahamantra with faith and devotion.

 

What We Think We Become

 

If you think of God day and night, you will acquire the nature of God.

 

So long as a person goes on thinking of worldly things, he will get immersed in the world. So long as he goes on contemplating on the Lord, he gets immersed in the Lord who is the Ultimate Reality.
