The Power of Thoughts
All the knowledge, process, and achievement of physical world is the product of thought. Thought is so big and complex that it is emerged to fulfill the requirements of all life in different type of life and even differently within a particular herd of life species. It is evolving for so many reasons at any moment life. It is also the thought which make men Buddha (the learned one) bullet. Though physically it don’t contain any physical things it may capture and motivate from the level of couple persons to the entire globe depending upon the situations and there could be different types of powers. Power of convincing the people, power of conflicting, power of manipulating, power of organizing, power of destructing, power of speaking, power of keeping on patient and so on. People may have different types of powers among them some could similar and some distinct. Similarly, even animals, plant species and may be other unknown or unproven species have also power. One of the renown Nepali Sage, Shree 1008 Sachinanda Khaptad Swami has very minutely elaborated about thought in his works.
Many people talk about the thought, give it credit or disregard it depending the situation and similarly people at differently also found advising family members or others to maintain or keep up good thought for the success in walks of life. However, in practical life it is a bit tricky to analyse how thought works as it could be the area of several discipline. In broad there seems two category of thoughts related to spiritualism and functionalism. Generally, thought related to spirituality concentrate for spiritual knowledge, devotion of God, spiritual activities. In the other hand functional thoughts covers a wide ranging area from the level of metabolic thought to thoughts related to governing the world.
Thought is a systematic plan or expectation which is tuned and recharged by mind body as well as soul and also it reflect its essence in the form of conversation, tasks or actions, and indifferent presence which also influence to others. The simple living and high thinking living styles of many true sages could be among the sources of such reflection. Negatively, this sort of power may also be felt in some conspiracy groups, am afraid, oh God help everybody from it.
Power of thought have been manifested since the early through the ancient code of conducts and then religion. In some way the religions are also a sort of thought about the God, living, nature, relationships, and do and don’ts. In fact, this is due to the reasons that there is also practice of pronouncing and perceiving something the Vedic and Pre-Vedic thought, Vedenta thought, Thought of Geeta, Pauranic thought, biblical thought, Islamic thought, Sheikh thought, though of Vivakananda, thought of Krishnamurti, thought of Raman Maharshi, Buddhist thought, Jaini thought, Aadhya Shankaracharya Thought, Lenian Thought, Gandhian Thought, and so on. It is easy and interesting to talk about these thoughts but really difficult to understands the functional mechanism and law of cause and effect on making the thought popular based on a scientific logical scrutiny sense.
In addition to indicate some basic reasons like; con-temporariness, convening and hypnotic style, simple and understandable language, time driven idea, as per expectation of time etc, there are also other variables having important role of making the thought popular.
Yes, people hear, feel and see the thoughts through different means, media and channel. However, we need to be careful that there is also some key role player between the sources of thought, media, channels of delivery, absorptive capacity/willingness of the target groups. It is something like people in some crisis time prefers to listen or take the name of God rather than rock and roll music. Non or lack of assemble of such things may cut off the significance of the thought, like the communism in real sense during the post modern era in a way just louding against own culture and unshakable faiths. This is why there is practice of saying something like saying “to blow off season trumpet” which meant matching to the entire environmental context and the contemporary natural aroma, something like; the newari Gunl Music right before the Indrajatra festival and Maalshree music during the Dashain festivals of Nepal.
Merely some new ideas cannot the powerful thought until and unless it is related to addressing the common problem and linked to some cherished expectation of common benefits. Swami Rama Deva contribution on Yoga and its global acceptance has made to recognize yoga as global culture and on 21 June of each year. Against the past background when Yoga was regarded just like as a nonsense property of Brahmanic thoughts.
In fact, any thought cannot be matured realistic in any society until and unless there is complete matching between the social environment (e.g. also social, political, economic, etc) and the content of thought. It is simply in the sense, once people posses some thought several biological and other natural including hormonal generation and stimulation get started towards making the thought fruitful. For example; it is something like; the sense of organizing the educational materials and associated activities, change on daily activities, sense of collecting further reference materials, and even change on personal habits etc. Here it may be noted interestingly noted here that generally student do not concentrate their mind in money making other extravagant activities in their exam time. 2
