FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE

Everybody wants to remain positive all the time.Do you ever want to
think negatively?Never,right!but,however positive you are,sometimes
or the other,negativity creeps in & you tend to think
negatively.Especially,if someone insulted you in the past
or if you failed miserably in some project.The thoughts of these
incidences would never spare you.The complete incidence would be
repeated again & again like a movie in your mind.You would feel the
impact of all the five senses in that scene.The harsh words,the slap on
your face,the sounds thus created,the tears in your eyes etc.etc.would
be so vivid that it would be very difficult to get rid of stream of
negative thoughts once it sets in your mind.

Is it possible to break this stream?Is it possible to convert the stream of

negative thoughts into the stream of positive thoughts?

There is a sutra in Yog Darshan of Maharishi Patanjali

“vitarka badhane pratipaksha bhavanam” (2/33,yog darshan)
This states that whenever you have a negative thought or rather a
chain of negative thoughts in your mind ,immediately start thinking of
its opposite positive thoughts.Suppose,you are watching a mental
movie with dialogues again & again with a lot of action replays and
these scenes create a sense of hatred in your mind for a particular
person,what should you do in such a situation?According to Maharishi
Patanjali ,you should start thinking loving thoughts for that
person.Love thoughts(positive) are opposite of hatred
thoughts(negative).
Aren’t they?so,if you force your mind to think love thoughts for that
person,the chain of negativity can be broken.Seems difficult?yes ,it
does seem,but give it a try & this wonderful sutra will drag you out of
negativity.

Let’s take another instance,”you have failed miserably in a project and

are watching the replays of a mental movie depicting each & every
wrong step taken by you again & again.”Does this thought pattern
block your creativity for the present & the future?What should be done
now?
Right!start thinking the thoughts of courage. Start a mental movie
where you see yourself carrying out your activities courageously &
confidently & suddenly you will realize that the chain of negativity has
broken and a stream of positive thoughts has started inside your mind.

Once you succeed in the above practice of breaking the chain of

negative thinking ,you start wondering how come was that possible
which seemed impossible previously.How could i convert my thought
pattern from negative to positive so easily?Then,one fine day you find
the answer which is very well depicted by Maharishi Gautam in Nyaya
Darshan through following sutra.
 “yugpajgyananutpattirmansolingam”(1/16,nyaya darshan)
In this sutra,Maharishi Gautam tells us a unique characteristic of
human mind.He says,”More than one streams of thought can not be
originated in our mind at a single moment”In simpler terms ,our mind
can think only one thought at a time.

“Oh!this does not seem practical.”You may quip.”My mind is always

cluttered with so many things.So many thoughts are simultaneously
running in my mind most of the time “
Were our ancient rishis mistaken?No,they were not.through another
sutra ,Maharishi Gautam gives us the answer;
“alatchakravat ashugrahitwad”

Through this sutra ,he explains that since speed of thoughts is too
much(maybe,more than even the speed of light),it seems that too
many thoughts are running in our mind simultaneously.In
fact,however,only one thought enters our mind at a particular
moment,but because of excessive speed of thoughts it seems as if
many thoughts are running simultaneosly in our mind.If you rotate a
lighted torch,it seems as if there is a circle of fire.But,is it really
so?No,it is because of the speed of torch,it seems as if it is a circle of
fire.Same is the case with the chains of thoughts in your mind.

So,you are lucky that your mind can think only one thought at a time &
this one thought can eighter be positive or negative.And,once the
chain of one kind of thoughts sets in, if you purposely think a thought
of opposite nature,it is sure that a stream of positive thoughts can be
initiated in place of a stream of negative thoughts.
