Mind is the creator of everything.. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a thought with dynamic will power. It finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your own destiny.---
Paramahansa Yogananda, "The Law of Success"
Spiritual Diary, Paramahansa Yogananda
Easily spoken or read but very difficult to put into practice. Even in meditation the mind wants to wander, you must gently coax it back to divine providence and dynamic will. Heady thoughts that boggle the simplicity of the act. Sit in silence and concentrate. There are many wonderful You Tube videos, Anmol Mehta (Yoga also) is easy to learn from, as well as Lessons from Self-Realization. Make the effort today to calm the noise and focus your thoughts. You will be amazed at the results and improvement in your well being. While music for meditation abounds their is a spirited discussion on the benefits. Listen or not and decide for yourself. I enjoy Kirtan Chanting. Krishna Das (krishnadas.com) is perhaps one of the foremost artists in this genre, as well as his associate Nina Rao, also Deva Premal. You would be well served to explore this phenomenon. All of life is grist for your thinking mill and it seems that in Today's World doing everything possible to set your self on the course of success would be your very first priority. All will be added from there. It is an absolute Law of the Universe. The practices that you will learn and be exposed to are Centuries old, practiced by Enlightened Masters. You don't have to join the Hare Krishnas. Although I remember buying my very first Bahagavad Gita from a Krishna in the old Stapelton Airport in Denver returning from a Ski trip to Arapahoe Basin in the late 70's. I did not go back to New York and sell flowers on the streets of the City with all the other Hare Krishna's. Your choice it is not vodoo but it is proven scientific methods to happiness and success.
