Self Affirmation

We think that the ways we lead our life as well as the rules our society lay down for us to follow and the creation are all ruled by logic. We are completely wrong. Our life is far beyond reason and logic. All laws, rules and regulations are based on the partial understanding of our life. At times, I hear people saying “Our Life is meaningless. We are on this earth for no reason. Honestly, the human logic does not have answer to this question.

 

The secret answer to this question lies in self affirmation. The philosophy of self affirmation is simple: as you think so you become. We have programmed ourselves for thousands of lifetimes to think of ourselves as limited, puny, weak and meaningless. This is the most dreadful thought of ourselves and how much self destructive it this thought of our’s that we can’t even measure it. If we think of ourselves as weak, we shall act accordingly. If we think of ourselves as helpless sinners and our existence as meaningless, we will without a doubt act accordingly.

 

As we have drummed the wrong thoughts into our minds again and again to create wrong impressions, so we must reverse the process by drumming into our brains right thought of purity, strength and truth. I will quote over here which I have been repeated from my earliest boyhood and a famous verse from “The Bhagvad Gita: As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, o lord, the different paths which people take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to the thee. The above notation totally disqualifies that our existence on planet earth is meaning less. Rather, than it should be if one believes his ownself, then surely his existence on this earth is as much meaningful as our existence on this universe.
