If you plant a mango tree, you will get only mangoes, not pineapples. A gigantic oak tree is hidden only in its small seed , similarly a human being’s potential is hidden in his thoughts only. This is natural law, there is nothing extraordinary in it.

As the Man is the master of his thoughts- he can gain power, intelligence, love, health and bliss, only by thinking or by the power of his thoughts.As a man thinks it vibrates the whole body and mind. It can make one happy or unhappy within a second.

As Shakespeare says, ” We all are actors and the world is a stage.” The world is a stage there is no doubt, but a man is not a mere an actor but the director of his life. He can mould it by connecting his mind with his soul. There must be a proper harmony between one’s mind and soul,when one has a healthy tree in one’s mind, with healthy leaves, branches and roots. The roots must be provided with healthy thoughts and inner peace.

Man should not believe that he has become a victim of outside circumstances.When he realizes his creative power, he would not be a victim but the master of his own life. It is possible only by noticing ones thought silently and carefully and altereing from negative to positive.

For example, a fat person wants to be thin, but he doesn’t want to eat less and exercise regularly. Then how can he be thin? The same is the case of other things also.

Selfish thoughts should not occur in mind, one must harbour, beautiful and kind thoughts towards others. One should be patiently wait for the results to happen. Definitely it will happen.

If nice,lovely, graceful thoughts are cultivated and watched thoroughly, definitely the outcome would be marvellous and satisfactory.

If one is happy and smiling, harbouring only beautiful thoughts then earthly age could not be able to leave its footprint on ones face and body.
