Your success in life is very much dependent how effective you think
and how you convert your thoughts into actions to get meaningful results. It is very easy to say this sentence, but in
reality, it is tough. The effective thinking
is an intelligent thinking, which is required for your advancement in the
career both professionally and spiritually. Forward thinking and to produce the
powerful thoughts, you require concentration, peace of mind and there should
not be any anxiety. To focus on a
particular subject and induce your thoughts, you require solitude and a great
vigilance on your mind. In today’s
boisterous world, it is very difficult to get a silent place. It is really a tough thing. But unless you get solitude and you get
isolated even for a few hours, some of the days on a regular basis, you will
not be able to create a silent environment.
Without this environment, you will not be able to crystallize your
thoughts. So, the first postulate to increase the power of thoughts is how to
use silence as an inner quest and to practice the same. In other words, it is the activity to make
your mind quiet. The speed of thoughts,
travels very fast not allowing you to concentrate with full attention. For
example, let us say, you are thinking of the professional chaos you faced in
the office today and just immediately at the same time, you read the article in
the paper focusing your thoughts on the contents. So, you cannot avoid thoughts because you
cannot control them. But by silencing
the mind, you can reduce the process of thinking. Thinking is closely linked to
thoughts. When you ponder or cling to
useless thinking, you land into worries. The practice of silence is very
essential to energize your consciousness, one of the prime factors of our
understanding the motives of our thinking.
The German philosopher Nietzsche says, “Our greatest experiences are our
quietest moments.”
You may say that who wants to stay aloof and invite silent
surrounding? If you analyze this fact,
you will get two sides. One is aloofness
and painful. The other one is solitude,
which expresses your glory of being alone. Unless, you are alone, you may not
be in a position to sharpen the power of thinking. In this state only, you will be able to
connect with your inner self. Second,
you have to hear your inner voice. How
you can raise this power to hear this voice?
By practicing to sit in a secluded place and closing your eyes, sit at
least for five minutes to start with.
The second postulate is the power of silence to increase your mind
power. Through this, you will be able to
create a silent space. This space can be
utilized to engage your mind power.
Slowly, your mind power will be so much energized that your negative
thoughts will be less; you will mostly see everything in the positive
direction. Even you land into any problem, you should be calm and use your
power of thinking. That is why; people
say that you are in real trouble, please listen to your inner voice for
remedies. This inner voice is the power
of mind. It is like the answer you are
searching in the outer world, it is hidden in your inner world. But by our habit, we search the outer only
because of our persistent association with the external happenings and getting
influenced by the same. This challenge
can be met through the power of silence.
This power of silence is the second practice, which will be helpful to
develop good and powerful thoughts.

Now, the third postulate is the listening. When you combine this with the activities of
silence, you will be more aware to connect yourself with your own powers. Then only, you will be able to realize the
teachings of Buddha. He says, “Events
happen, deeds are done, consequences happen, but there is no individual doer of
deeds.” These philosophical thoughts are explained in Gita also. What the teachings we get from Gita? We have right to actions, but we should not
hunch or show our greed for the outcomes.
This powerful exposition is scientifically and mathematically proven
also. You cannot predict hundred percent
sure that the outcomes of your actions will yield desired results as
anticipated by you. The results may be
good or may be worse. You can only put your
best efforts. Therefore, our attention
must focus more on the actions instead of outcomes. The more we concentrate on the power of
silence and the power of listening; we will be able to respond more accurately
to the uncertainties of our lives.
Further, the practice of listening and silence combined together
will open a path of enlightenment of your mind.
This type of mind is the container of powerful thinking. This thinking will never provide you any
anxiety or tension. You won’t be
perturbed with the uncertainties of what will happen tomorrow. Even you face difficulties; you must put your efforts to overcome the
same. The outcomes of any of your
efforts will be mostly controlled by you. You will not be engaged in struggles
and waste your time about the negativities at all. Why we are not able to come out from this
impasse? The reason is that we always
give much emphasis on the results.
Silence and listening both help
us to provide a lot more energy and we get totally charged and live in the
present moment. Then we become more
mindful, conscious and alert. In this
process, we always give prominence to our thinking pattern, or utterance and
our work involvement. Ultimately, we
recognize the power of silence as a tremendous positive mechanism to reinforce
our thoughts in such a way that no negative energy can intrude in our lives. We
then think only for a positive outcome and this thinking emanates from our
heart very sincerely. Then, we do our
work only for the purpose of good intentions.
And good intention always brings good results.
