Create a Bliss Body

Swami Sukhabodhananda

How does one eliminate negative thoughts in one’s mind? Understand that every thought creates a subtle substance. Negative thought creates a hurt body; positive thought creates a bliss body. The bliss body will uplift you while the hurt body will make you a victim of circumstances in life. Secondly, whenever a negative thought arises, learn to dis-identify from it. See yourself as a witness and the thought as witnessed by you. You are the subject and the thought is an object. You are an observer and the thought is the observed. Slowly distance yourself from the thought. Thirdly, observe how dominating your mind is and how compulsive thoughts are being processed. Finally, as far as possible, let there be absence of words. Learn to develop the taste of being without any self-talk. This way, purification happens. In this purification, our centres become receptive to allow the higher vibrations to flow in. New ideas become understandable. If our centres are not purified, divine messages, new ideas, will not flow in. We should thus insulate ourselves from negativity and keep our centres pure and receptive, so that the higher states of consciousness can guide us. As said previously, our centres when purified are available for higher vibrations. Creativity happens in this space. The great Indian musician Thyagaraja, listening to a bee, discovered a new raga... a musical note. A monk observing a snake and a crane fighting discovered the martial art called Tai Chi. There is a technique called the golden egg technique. Imagine, there is an egg and in it there exists gold. This gold is hidden in the egg. In a similar manner, treat every problem as such an egg and realise that there is gold or opportunity hidden inside. Whenever you are faced with a problem, do not get disheartened but understand that it is only an egg having gold hidden in it. Delve deep into the problem and see the gold of opportunities. This attitude will invoke creativity in you. www.prasannatrust.org
