Synopsis

So you should not develop the sinning complex or sinner’s complex in your mind. Rather, yours should be a positive ideation. “I am the son of Parama Puruśa. I am never alone. I am an inseparable portion of that Supreme Entity.” What will happen? Your mind will be strengthened. You will get immense psychic power, and that psychic force will get affixed by dint of your meditation, Japa and Dhyána. This is the positive approach and this you must do. You must not develop the complex of sinning, You must not develop the complex of inferiority – “I am illiterate. I am a fool.” A complex like this also makes a man weak, mentally weak.

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that as a man thinks, so he becomes. He then describes two ways of changing a form. The first is an external projection of a thought, like when a man thinks so much of a ghost in the house that a portion of his ectoplasmic stuff turns into one and he is a witness to it. The second is an internal projection where a man thinks that he is caught by a ghost and he actually behaves like one, believing that only an exorcist can save him. Anandamurti goes on saying that one should never thinks himself to be a sinner, or one will become a sinner. We should all think that we are the loving children of Parama Purusa, and so we are never alone. That will strengthen our mind.[1]
