GOD REALIZATION

Get rid of the confusion: Once we have reached our true nature, we must try to rid our minds of the confusion around us. Everything in the physical world is verifiable so there need not be any confusion. Man lives in a jungle of ideas and is overwhelmed everyday by new concepts from people around him and from the media. It is difficult to get rid of this jungle of ideas. It is up to us to get out of this mire of confusion and seek clarity in our thoughts. Build a positive personality by banishing all negative thoughts: Every moment, we are confronted with problems or negative experiences. We must kill all such negative thoughts immediately. If this is not done, these negative thoughts will fester in our minds and lead to a negative personality. On the other hand, we must cultivate and develop positive thoughts by acknowledging the good done by others. By acknowledging the good favours of people and accepting them as good favours of God, reiterating and repeating good things, words and actions and forgetting all negative experiences—this is the way to developing a positive personality. Concentrate on realizing and discovering God: When we focus or concentrate on one thing, it will soon become clear and evident. For example, it is said of Newton that when he was a child, he used to be lost in thoughts all the time. Later, it was realized that he used to be actually concentrating on a specific idea. Only through such focus, was he able to discover and understand the great laws of nature. Likewise, we have to come out of all distractions and devote ourselves to the purpose of discovery of God. To realize God, we must pay the price and purify our souls. o We must cultivate and develop positive thoughts by acknowledging the good done by others.
