The Power of Thoughts (From The Author of The Bestselling The Science of Mind Management

Incredibly, the ingredients of a hugely successful life cost nothing at all. In fact, we mass-produce 60,000 of them every day. These are the thoughts that our mind creates. They are responsible for the happiness and distress we experience. They are the precursors of all we do. We grapple with improving our actions, only to find our attempts undone by impure thinking.

If we focus on transforming our thoughts instead, incredible results will accrue from a fraction of the efforts. Since all aspects of our life are so strongly linked to our thoughts, we have much to gain by deepening our understanding of them.

In this book, Swami Mukundananda, a world-renowned spiritual teacher from India and an internationally acclaimed mind-management authority, will teach you about watching your thoughts, directing them, dismantling harmful thought structures, creative thinking, meditation and much more. When you focus on revolutionizing your thoughts-the most fundamental aspect of inner personality-you will discover yourself evolving to divine heights to fulfil the purpose of your life.

We all wish to build a great destiny for ourselves and create fabulous circumstances in our life. We long to be happier in our attitudes, to be more effective at work. But where do we begin this process of change? What resources do we require for transforming ourselves? Where can we find them? And how much will those life-enhancing assets cost us? It may surprise you to know that the ingredients for initiating a hugely successful life cost nothing at all. In fact, we already mass-produce more than 60,000 of them every day. The problem is that their quality is appalling and the quantity uncontrolled. If only we could learn to create them better, and in the right amount, they would enhance every aspect of our lives.

I am referring to our thoughts. Everything we do and experience begins with thinking. If our thoughts are virtuous, energetic and joyous, we perforce develop a noble character and perform heroic actions. Conversely, when we allow our mind to delve on immoral, abject and bitter emotions, we unavoidably set ourselves up for a wretched existence.

Very few people in the world pay attention to this sequence of causation. They grapple with improving their actions, only to see their developmental efforts undone by impure thoughts. If they had instead focused on transforming their thinking, even a fraction of their efforts would have yielded incredible results.

The ramifications of our thoughts also extend to our physical countenance. Wicked and hateful thoughts chisel our face, as ruthless sculptors, leaving lasting scars for all to see. Likewise, kind and loving thoughts work as the best possible beauty aids and are completely organic too! This is the reason behind the old maxim: 'the face is the index of the mind'.
