As your thoughts
So your mind
Sow good thoughts
Power your mind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Depression is not a disease
But it is only a fallen wave
In the ocean of consciousness
Only to rise again with great
Force to lift us up and up
Till we reach the shore safely.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking is not just
A process of linking words
Together to impress fools.
But a process of diving deep
Into the ocean of consciousness
In search of gems of truth
To enlighten the sinking souls.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let the bubbles of thoughts
Rise and fall
It matters not mind live or die.
You are the witness
Like the eternal sky
Clouds of thoughts will
Come and fly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He is a wise man
Who not only sees but observes
Not only observes but learns
To translate that
Learning into practice
By all means, if it
Is good to himself
And for others

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expansion is life
Contraction is death.
Love is life
And hatred is death

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Control your tongue
Control your temper
Control your temptation
Practice meditation
That is the way
To develop concentration
Perform your duty
With dedication, devotion
Develop dexterity
While doing your actions
That is the way

To get job satisfaction
Do hard work
Be honest in efforts
Always be humble
And never be arrogant
That is the way
To achieve perfection

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carelessness is the worst
Enemy of man,
The root cause
Of all evils. It is because of
Our carelessness that we are
Born here as mortals, though
We are immortal divinities

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Success is better than failures
Failures are also welcome
If one can learn lessons from them
But perfection is unique
Which always leads to success.
Then why not struggle to be
Perfect in whatever we do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were never bad.
It was only you thought
That you were so.
Change your thought and say
‘I am good’ prove that
Through your actions
And that every moment
You are good.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do you worry
That you have done wrong,
Show me a single person
Who is perfect and strong,
Now follow the right path
Don’t repeat your wrongs,
God is merciful
And will help you along

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Live with honour
Don’t care for money
A few get honour
But many get money

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Devotion and dedication,
Concentration and conviction,
Introspection and reflection,
Discrimination and renunciation,
These are the physical
And mental actions
To attain perfection and realization
Which result in peaceAnd satisfaction

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are the creator of
Your own destiny.
Write your destiny on
The screen of your mind by
Making right use of your
Thoughts, Deeds and Words
