Thinking about Thoughts
I have been reading Bhakti Tirtha Swami's Leadership book. Here are a
few interesting thoughts on thoughts: … People are responsible for the
energy they generate. Much of this energy takes the form of thoughts,
words and deeds. Although people easily perceive their words and
actions and frequently observe their impact, they may be tempted to
believe that their thoughts have no effect. However, they would be
mistaken. Although invisible to the naked eye, thoughts are things.
They are individual electrical entities that group themselves with
similar energy to form clusters. They are real; they are substantiev;
and they are a force that everyone can learn to balance and control…
Nothing exists unless it is sustained by thought. Therefore, the
easiest way to control and manipulate energies is by thought
processes. People can control their words adn actions simply by
changing theway they think… p48/50 Monitor your thoughts carefully. As
you think of someone lovingly, angrily or lustfully, note how that
person becomes unconsciously affected by your energies. p62 March 2,

Ornaments and Scars The behaviour of a disciple can be an ornament
for or a scar on the reputation of the spiritual master HH Radhanath

Milk and Lime water Reflections 5: Srila Bhaktisiddhanta's 64
principles for community, by Bhakti Tirtha Swami Principle 31 Although
the activities of a devotee and the misdemeanour of a pseudo-devotee
appear to be alike, there is a heaven and hell of difference – like
milk and lime water. …Although surrender never depends on work, we
want our internal life to correspond with our external life. A person
might try to solely think of Krsna without doing any service, but if
he or she has the ability, the person should act. Krsna, who resides
in the heart, knows the degree we are holding back. Krsna knows what
He has given us and knows what we have. He is watching to see what we
are going to do with what He has given
