The world is full of good and bad vibes, choose judiciously

Recently I installed a mobile phone application where educated and experienced people from all walks of life share knowledge. I found that one question commonly asked was if god exists and is omnipotent. This question gripped believers as well as nonbelievers and to explain this, everyone comes up with their own theories.

If we did a little bit of research, we would realise that whatever good or bad is happening around us always begins from our minds. For instance, somebody thought about helping the downtrodden and Mother Teresa came into action; somebody thought about bringing equality among the people and Nelson Mandela came into action; somebody thought about innovation and life on other planets and Elon Musk came into action.

Similarly, someone thought about oppressing a certain race and Hitler came to action. More than thanking god for the good things in our lives, we end up complaining about it. We need to thank the almighty for our lives and the goodness we are blessed with.

Basically it all starts because of the emotional intensity of our minds. Some people with purity of thought end up doing good work for humanity, while some end up doing the opposite. God has nothing to do with this.

From peace to war, love to hatred, all these thoughts are built in the person’s mind. And it is on these thoughts that we build our lives. It is up to us to create the kind of world we want to live in. Start practising salvation as it lies within you. As Buddha said, the thing which is most dangerous to us is our unguarded thoughts.
