1. Whatever you think, that you will be.

2. We are the heirs of good and evil thoughts.

3. Thought is the finest and highest action of Prana.

4. We are what our thoughts have made us, so take care of what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live, they travel far. Each thought we think is tinged with our own character, so that for the pure and holy man, even his jests or abuse will have the twist of his own love and purity and do good.

5. Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be.

6. The glory of man is that he is a thinking being.

7. If you think yourself pure, pure you will be.

8. What we think we tend to become.

9. Even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.

10. If you have to think, think good thought, great thoughts.

11. Think away everything.

12. What we think we become.

13. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly.

14. Thoughts can be guided and controlled.

15. Doing is very great, but that comes from thinking……………….. Fill the brain therefore, with high thoughts, highest ideals; place them day and night before you; and out of that will come great work.

16. Think only pure thoughts.

17. The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought, and deed lays up a store for you, and that as the bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon you like tigers, so also there is the inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of a hundred thousand angels to defend you always and forever.

18. Every thought that we think, every deed that we do, after a certain time becomes fine, goes into seed form, so to speak, and lives in the fine body in a potential form, and after a time, it emerges again and bears its results. These results condition the life of a man. Thus he moulds his own life. Man is not bound by any other laws excepting those which he makes for himself.

19. Go on doing good, thinking holy thoughts continuously, that is the only way to suppress base impressions. Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character…………….The chaste brain has tremendous energy and gigantic will power.

20. Please be careful not to become impure even in thought, as also in speech and action; always try to do good to others as far as in you lies.

21. You must be perfectly pure. Do not think of evil things, such thoughts will surely drag you down.

22. UNCHASTE IMAGINATION IS AS BAD AS UNCHASTE ACTION.

23. Hold fast to the real Self, think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.

24. Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.

25. Think of nothing but liberation.

26. Do not open you mind, unless you feel it will be positively beneficial.

27. Say, “I am the Spirit! Nothing external can touch me”. When evil thoughts arise, repeat that, give that sledge-hammer blow on their heads, “I am the Spirit! I am the Witness, the Ever-Blessed! I have no reason to do, no reason to suffer, I have finished with everything, I am the witness. I am in my picture gallery---------this universe is my museum, I am looking at these successive paintings. They are all beautiful. Whether good or evil. I see the marvelous skill, but it is all one. Infinite flames of the great Painter! ”

28. Hold your mind free. All this that you see, the pains and miseries, are but the necessary conditions of this world; poverty and wealth and happiness are but momentary.

29. The purer the mind, the easier it is to control.

30. The mind is omnipresent and can be heard and felt anywhere.

31. That man alone who is the lord of his mind can be happy and none else.

32. It is the strong mind that hews its way through a thousand difficulties.

33. It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us.

34. Renunciation is of the mind.

35. The freedom of the mind is a delusion.

36. The whole world is in our own minds.

37. Get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and every stone that drops into it raises waves.

38. You must keep the mind fixed on one object, like an unbroken stream of oil.

39. Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.

40. The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us down, down, for ever--------rend us, kill us; and the mind controlled and guided will save us, free us.

41. We must be the masters, and not the slaves of nature; neither body nor mind must be our master, nor must we forget that the body is mine, and not I the body’s.

42. Always keep your mind joyful; if melancholy thoughts come, kick them out.

43. The direction of the mind, which always runs after the senses, has to be turned within.

44. Mental pains are more poignant than physical tortures.

45. Mental pleasures are greatly superior to physical joys.

46. Purity of the mind must be insisted upon if you would control it.

47. Purity of the mind is the first thing necessary.

48. Do not disturb your mind by vain arguments.

49. All that we see, we project out of our own minds.

50. How has all the knowledge in the world been gained but by the concentration of the powers of the mind? The world is ready to give up its secrets, if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and the force of the blow come through concentration. There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point; that is the secret.

51. What I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same materials as that of which the thunderbolt is made.

52. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind.

53. O Lord, be merciful to us. Make our minds calm and tranquil, make our hearts pure.

54. It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

55. We are slaves to our own and to everybody else’s mind.

56. Fill the mind with the highest thoughts, hear them day after day, think them month after month……….

57. Each thought is a little hammer blow on the lump of iron which our bodies are, manufacturing out of it what we want it to be.

58. Desire nothing; think of God and look for no return. It is the desire less who bring results.

59. Concentration of the powers of the mind is our only instrument to help us see God. If you know one soul (your own), you know all souls, past, present and to come. The will concentrates the mind, certain things excite and control this will, such as reason, love, devotion, breathing, etc. The concentrated mind is a lamp that shows us every corner of the soul.

60. Whatever you think, that you will be.

61. Every thought that we think, every deed that we do, after a certain time becomes fine, goes into seed form, so to speak, and lives in the fine body in a potential form, and after a time, it emerges again and bears its results. These results condition the life of a man. Thus he moulds his own life. Man is not bound by any other laws excepting those which he makes for himself.

62. The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us down, down, for ever--------rend us, kill us; and the mind controlled and guided will save us, free us.

63. That man alone who is the lord of his mind can be happy and none else.

64. Get hold of the mind. The mind is like a lake, and every stone that drops into it raises waves.

65. Think of nothing but liberation.

66. We are what our thoughts have made us, so take care of what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live, they travel far. Each thought we think is tinged with our own character, so that for the pure and holy man, even his jests or abuse will have the twist of his own love and purity and do good.

67. If you have to think, think good thought, great thoughts.
