Be Careful What You Say : Your Words Create Your Destiny

Words Are Energy

There is an interesting mythological tale in Hinduism which is the 'The Story Of Kumbhkaran'. Kumbhkaran was the brother of King Ravanna, he in his hey days went for a deep penance of Lord Brahma. If he had succeeded in pleasing Lord Brahma then Kumbhkaran would have asked for greater power from Lord Brahma. His & King Ravanna's powers combined together would have meant doom for the world. The 'devtas' knew it and they sought Goddess Saraswati's help. The plan was to have Goddess Saraswati to sit in Kumbhkaran's tongue while he asks for the boon and hence foil his places as. Meanwhile Lord Brahma was pleased with Kumbhkaran's penance and asked him to seek a boon.

Kumbhkaran wanted '????????' (The Power Seat Of Devtas) and was about to reply Lord Brahma with it but as Goddess Saraswati sitting on his tongue, he inadvertently blurted out - '??????????'(SLEEP) . Upon hearing this Lord Brahma smiled as he knew the divine plan and said '???????'? (So be it). This was the reason for Kumbhkaran's extended sleep where he slept for 6 months & briefly got up just to eat a bit before dozing off again.

This tale is followed by an advice which our elders in India share with everyone. The advice is to always 'Think Good, Speak Good' . It is believed that once a day, Goddess Saraswati sits on our tongue and whatever we say at that moment does come true. Since that moment is not known to common man, it is better to speak good every moment & in-fact good even about ourselves in order to ensure that whenever the moment comes, we manifest something good in our lives by speaking positive.

Words are energy and cast spells — that’s why it’s called spelling. ....................Bruce Lee

The great martial artist & founder of martial art form namely Jeet-Kune-Do- Bruce Lee recognised that words are energy. He laid a lot of importance on being careful on what we talk and that includes how we talk to even ourselves.

It is all a subconscious play

Basically our personality is formed by the subconscious mind. The subconscious is the part of our minds that makes decisions without our needing to actively think about them. The subconscious mind goes beyond learning new skills. It’s involved in information processing and affects everything we think, say and do. It stores our beliefs and values, determines our memories and monitors the information all around us, deciding what to send to the conscious mind and what to store for later. It affects every moment of our lives – and most of us don’t even know it.

Thus it becomes very important as to what words we choose and use . This all has an impact on our subconscious mind which subsequently drives our behaviour and finally decides the success or failure of any endeavour that we undertake.

Speak With Care : It Can Change Your Destiny

Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life. .......Bruce Lee

The above quote is very powerful . We need to watch as to what do we say , talk or reply to others as we indulge in a conversation. On being asked a question "How are you", do we just open the flood gates of misery like " Oh! dear, I am so crestfallen, filled with sorrow ....blah!blah!". If we do then we need to remember that our body will not understand all the rant but only get a feeling that he/she speaking this story will be glad to stay miserable. The words spoken will soon turn into reality. The purpose of life is 'joy & bliss'. All that is created first in our imagination as words start making that imagination which finally becomes a picture before transforming as the reality.

This mandates a conscious endeavour to make a positive impact by the words spoken while having a conversation which may be with self & others. Words like "I think", 'It may" or " I hope" should not be used. Instead use "I believe", "It already has happened" & "I am sure of it".

As a parent also encourage your kids to use their language in a manner that is throwing positive reaffirmations to the universe. What these kids learn in childhood will form a permanent habit in them to speak good as an adult and subsequently this will result in success.

"ALA : Aanaira Learning Academy is running as envisaged & it has created a niche set of clientele. ALA is transforming lives and nurturing desirous minds"- This is my positive affirmation.

I pray that we all get the courage to express our desires & allow us to work towards it AND during this journey, we all watch words we speak as they are on way to CREATE YOUR DESTINY.

Have a great weekend ahead.
