Your mind is a real wish-tree

Personality is nothing, but a collection of your thoughts. As you think, so are your actions and as your actions, so is your destiny. Your mind is such a potent wish tree that whatever your mind thinks eventually materializes. Your present life is the result of your past thoughts in the form of your fears, aspirations and desires. Your thoughts help you create the reality that you experience. Whether that experience is good or bad, all of it is determined by our thoughts.

When you start worrying, the negative energy starts propagating into the Existence and the same negativity begins to manifest. Then you begin to think that the world is conspiring against you. Similarly, when you are happy, the world around you appears to be encouraging and wonderful. So, be watchful of your thoughts in such a way that you nourish the thoughts that brings you ever lasting peace and happiness.

Let me tell you a short story about a wish-tree. A villager heard about the Yogis of Girnar mountains and all their Yogic and magical powers. He was fascinated after hearing many miraculous incidents in those mountains of Girnar.

Once, he was crossing the forest in the mountain regions of Girnar to bring his wife back from the in-laws. On the way, he felt tired and he sat under a beautiful tree. He felt hungry and started thinking about the delicious variety of food. All of a sudden he saw that all the variety of food appeared in front of him in well decorated platters. He ate and then he thought that it would be nice if he can get a comfortable bed to take some rest. To his wonder, he saw that a beautiful, well laid bed appeared in front of him. Then he thought, it would be great if I can somehow get a few gold coins to live life peacefully. A bag of gold coins suddenly dropped from the tree.

Wow… he was all amazed. He laid down on the bed, but couldn’t sleep in excitement. Then all of a sudden he thought, ‘hmm… this all is too good to be true. What if this is all a devil’s play and he might appear suddenly to eat me.’ Guess what … a devil appeared and ate him. It was a true wish-tree and all the wishes were supposed to come true.

Your mind too is a powerful wish tree. So, the worrisome thoughts make you unhappy and the happy thoughts make you happy. With the help of enlightened intellect, be watchful of your thoughts. Be pious, positive, optimistic and happy at all the times. Always read good books and seek the company of wise men who can enlighten your intellect with true wisdom so that your mind can remain pious, peaceful and happy at all the times.
