What did they say?

Greetings all,

I strongly feel I should share this information with all of you. What you are about to read are statements that are said about 3000 years ago to 300 years ago. Well to those of you who have my business card, you will realize I have a quote printed at the back of my card that reads "Our life is the creation of our mind". This beautiful phrase is so true. I quoted this phrase from Siddhartha Gautama Buddha.

I began to research more about what our great spiritual leaders was trying to tell us. I began to research more about Siddhartha Gautama Buddha and what else did he say. When I completed my research on Buddha, I started to research on the Sikh spiritual leaders. I was amazed; they too said the same thing. They too said, it starts with your mind, and it the thought evokes emotions that lead to physical attributes. It is evident if you have a negative thought, you will feel negative, and thus the outcome will also be negative. If you have positive thoughts, you will feel good, you will feel positive, thus the outcome will be appealing and positive.

Your MANIFESTATIONS are created in your spiritual form, which is your THOUGHT which is amplified through your mental form, which is your EMOTIONS.

So here are the quotes from Siddhartha Gautama Buddha that I have obtained so far

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha 

•  "Every Human being is the author of his health or disease" With your mind, you are able to shape your health. Look around you, the ones who speaks of prosperity, HAS IT. The ones who speaks of despair, HAS IT. 

• "He is able, who thinks he is able" For you to succeed, you need to believe that you can do it in your mind first before it manifests into reality. 

• "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world" If your current situation is in poverty, this is because all you have thought is poverty. It does not matter if you think you want to get out of poverty. Get out or get in has no value. If you think poverty that is what you will have more of. If you think money, if you think prosperity, you will have more of that. You shape your life with your thoughts. 

• "You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger" Negative emotions will lead to negative circumstances. Man is not a product of circumstances, Circumstances is the PRODUCT of man. 

• "You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection" How can we expect others to enjoy our company if we don't enjoy our own company? When was the last time you told your self you love your self? If you can’t love your self, how do you expect others to love you? If you think you are incapable of love, then you are. If you think you are lovable, then you are. Henry Ford said this once, you say you can, or you cant, either way you are RIGHT.

• "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become" Just as I mentioned above, your manifestations is based from your thought. Your thought shapes who you are, who your friends are, shapes your finances, shapes your circumstances. Your thoughts shape and brings what you think about in a form of circumstances.

These are 6 such beautiful quotes. I have these quotes in my notebook, and now I have this opportunity to share these quotes with you. I am privileged to share these quotes with you. My comments are in blue.

Now let us move on to the Great Man who laid down the foundation to Sikhism, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He is the first prophet of the Sikh's. Here are his quotes that he shared with mankind. 

•  “Through shallow intellect, the mind becomes shallow, and one eats the fly, along with the sweets.” When you have ill thoughts, poor thoughts, negative thoughts, your mind shapes that exact thing and give you. It will be so real; it becomes your reality that is when you accept defeat as a part of your beautiful life. 

• "As fragrance abides in the flower,
  as reflection is within the mirror,
  so does your Lord abide within you,
  why search for him without?" You are created in the likeness of the Creator Himself. You can never take the scent in a rose away from its flower unless you kill it. So does God reside within each and every one of us? Why would anything be not possible when he is within us?

• "God is One, but he has innumerable forms. He is the Creator of all and He, himself takes the Human Form" God; He has the power to change, alter, modify, improvise the universe. You are apart of Him. He is apart of you. He has bestowed you with powers that are so great, that you can modify YOUR universe. You sculpt your universe using your thought.

• "O my mind, the treasure is deep within you, do not search for it on the outside" The treasures that we seek is within our minds. Our minds are extremely powerful. You are a LIMITLESS being. Start shaping your thoughts properly, and your body, your circumstances, your finances, your surroundings will obey.

 Those beautiful quotes are from Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. My comments are in blue. Ponder upon the quotes, think about it. Understand them, and then live them. 

Now, allow me to go on. While doing my research, I also came across quotes from Sri Guru Gobind Singh. He too understood something. He understood the mind shapes the world. Here are his quotes:

• "Beg from the One Lord, the Great Giver, and you shall obtain your heart's desire" God has numerous names, we call him Allah, Waheguru, Eternal Father, Vishnu, Ram, Babaji and the list goes on. Finally Quantum Physicists has noted there is a force greater then the humans that works in mysterious ways. Scientists call God, Energy, Infinite Intelligence and Source of Power. You may call him what you may. But to obtain your hearts desire, all you need to do is ask. Question is how many people ask for what they want. Here is an illustration that I have come to notice. Regardless if a Sikh, Christian, Hindu or Buddhist goes to pray, they always pray for what they don’t want. They pray," God, please help me to overcome my fear", God, please take this paid away from me, God, why do you do this to me?, Oh Dearest God, My exams are nearing, please help me, I do not want to Fail". Those are just some illustrations of how people pray. Yes they are able to read the Bible, Quran, Granth, however they are never thought to ask for what they want. 

• "Deep within me is the Guru's Wisdom, the Lord's jewel, the Bringer of liberation" Within you, you will hear a small voice. This voice has a direct connection with your Creator. If you fill your mind up with negative thoughts, then your voice will tell you a thousand ways of why you will fail. If you fill your mind with positive thoughts, then your voice will tell you a thousand ways of why you will succeed. You are created in the likeness of the Creator him self. You are a limitless being. Your talents within you are trying to break loose. You choose to limit them. Believe in your self, Believe in your Creator. Believe you deserve it. Believe you will get anything you want, and you will. This is because God resides within all of us. You are God Force.

•   "O mind, do not be anxious, remain fearless" A fearless mind is confident. A fearless mind is clear. A fearless mind is able to generate thoughts that lead you to success. Free your mind from the world. Do not allow your surroundings to do the thinking for you. Listen to your inner voice. There is a very powerful proverb: When your voice inside is more clear and profound then the voices outside; you have mastered your life.

My research led me to these very impactful quotes. My explanation is in blue. 

Now let me share quotes from the Holy Bible of the Sikh's, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

• "If the mind is polluted, then the body is polluted, and the tongue is polluted as well" Ill thoughts will lead to an ill mental, ill attitude, and you speak of illness; there is no exception. Your thoughts shapes everything. How many of you have ill thoughts, and you wonder why are you always challenged with ill situations? Your circumstances are created by you, dominated by what you think. 

• "The darkness of ignorance has been dispelled, and my mind is awakened; within the home of my inner being, I have found the genuine article" Listen to your bliss. How many of you do that. You always allow the external factors do the thinking for you, example, your friends, family, the news, your boss, your workmates, and the list may just go on. It is a known fact, in the 1930's Great Depression, millions were complaining they had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, no this and no that. However, at the same period, hundreds of men became wealthy. The difference between them both is dominated with what they thought. Whatever you need, can be found within you. Your inner self will show you the way; will create a path for you. You need to believe you can do and be anything you want to be. 

• "The is only one breath, all are made of the same clay, the light within all is the same" It has been proven we are all connected. If you looked at your hand under a special microscope, you will see energy vibrating. You are an energy field. We are all made of the same energy, every human, every plant, every animal, every car, table, chairs... EVERYTHING. The universe is energy. God is Energy. We are energy fields operating in a larger energy field. Your thoughts has frequencies. We are connected in ways that only now we are beginning to understand. Again, you are a limitless being. You are a spiritual being, you are a mental being and then you are a physical being. The sooner you understand this truth, the faster you will understand yourself. The sooner your mind will lead you to success. 

  The above is told to us by our spiritual leaders who have lived thousands to hundreds of years ago. They understood something. They understood it was the mind that was the causing the pain, grief, love, affection, happiness, joy and success. My research will not end here. I am researching Jesus Christ, Prophet Muhammad and other great leaders who understood this. I am certain my quest for knowledge will lead me to the information that I require. That information will be shared with you to educate you, to help you, to help you chart your way to success. 

My aim in life is to educate you, guide you, and help you obtain the success that you deserve. What is success, it means differently to all of us. Regardless what is your definition of success, it all starts with your mind. This is said by great spiritual leaders as stated above. 

Thank you for reading.
