Law of Attraction & Swami Vivekananda

Have u listened about a Law of Attraction???New Thought Movement???
These are philosophies considering human itself for their past, present & future situation.In short, we are the creator of our destiny. Sounds good!!!What a relief!!!
But is it really possible???What you think???


In various religions, such concepts are elaborated. Basically, everyone wants do control his/her destiny. In life, there are always coincidence or accidents. Some accidents are really helpful while some accidents sometimes totally get us sucked. But do you remember the dialogue of Master Oogway??? "There are no accidents".

In Hindu Philosophy, there is The 'Three Fold Rule' of KARMA. Means what you do, will get back to you but in three times. While in western traditions there is One Fold Rule. Instead of three times, you will only get it back in a single time. This is very analogous to Newton's Third Law of Motion-'For each action there is equal reaction'.
In this way, various approaches are suggested to control one's destiny. Some believe on action while some are totally dependent on God & this New Thought Movement believes on 'Thoughts'.

According to New Thought Movement to control our destiny, we only has to control our thoughts. The Law of Attraction is also a part of this movement. This law states that, 'Like attracts like or you will get what you think'. Here don't make mistake. Now suppose you want a BMW, then don't think about BMW but think about 'you own such BMW'. So in reality, you will own it. Like reality is the representation of thoughts.

I really love this concept. But it has its own tricks. I think instead of 'think', here 'Feel' is appropriate word. Means don't just think about 'you own BMW' but 'Feel like you own BMW'. That's it!!!

But what is this 'Feel'??? or what you mean by word 'Feeling'???
Have you ever tried to feel only without think???
Remember smell of soil after rain. Now try to define this in words.
O my gosh! How one can define this smell. Exactly this is the thing to feel not to think.

OK guys when wondering on about this 'Feeling', I came to one quote of Swami Vivekananda & every misery is cleared now.

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

In this way, you have to embrace one & only one idea. At last I like to tell you guys that just watching video of "secret" nothing gonna change. They tell you about suggestions. Ya, definitely suggestion works. But main practical problem is that man is never satisfied,he wants everything & very quick. So concentrating on one desire is very tough job. Lot of times people never know exactly what they really need. For example, first you strive for big job & when you get it, you complain about it. You want to quit this job but you can't quit this job due to large money it offers. Remember here guys, you think 'you need a large some of money only' [& then you can purchase 'anything']. So you get money not satisfaction. But actually you want money with satisfaction also. In this way, people generally fail to identify their needs exactly.
Ancient Indian Monks have also solved this question. To find what you really want, you have to
'Do Meditation'.

Meditation has various advantages but its main advantage is that it clears your mind & make it calm. In this calm mind, you have never problems to find what you really need along with the PURPOSE of YOUR LIFE. In my opinion this is the toughest part of life. Once you get this, further journey is very easy. You have to just stuck on this need or purpose at any cost.

Following are some quotes of Swami Vivekananda which I think can elaborate the law of attraction & new thought movement very nicely.

*******************************************************************************

"If you think that you are bound, you remain bound; you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature."

"It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world, that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!

“Change is always subjective. To talk of evil and misery is nonsense, because they do not exist outside. If I am immune from all anger, I never feel angry. If am immune from all hatred, I never feel hatred.”

"As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us; but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes; of what can we be afraid? "

“Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourself. Therefore make your own future.“
