Select Your Object Very Carefully is the third discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in Valencia, Spain.[1] The discourse was delivered in English on the morning of 1979 May 31.
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. Suppose you want to do something and you say, “I will try to do it.” If you grant this slackness to yourself, you will never be successful. Don’t say, “I’ll try”; say “I will do!” If you say, “I will try” it may take more than a thousand years to develop the psychology properly – to reach the required standard. So there is no question of trying. The question is of being. To be, not to try.
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 in the case of a man thinking so much of a ghost in the house, that a portion of His ectoplasmic stuff had turned 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 He 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]
