In Indian mythology there is a tree called Kalpavriksha. It is a divine wish-fulfilling tree. It grants whatever you wish while sitting under it. Similarly there is Kamadhenu – a divine cow who grants her owner whatever he or she desires.
The Universe also fulfils desires like Kalpavriksha or Kamadhenu – it provides whatever you wish. Then you may ask “Why am I not getting everything I want ?” You will be shocked at the answer! If there are so many sufferings and problems in your life, then that is what you wished for! Yes. That is the truth.
We think that our wishes to God or the universe are the things we pray when we go to a temple, church or mosque. There you are mistaken. When you go there you will ask for all the positive things. But for the rest of the day you think about all the negative things like family problems, financial problems, health issues etc. So if your life is full of misery then that is what you asked for!
There is a beautiful story which explains this concept. A man was walking through a forest and when he was tired, he decided to take rest under a tree. He felt very thirsty and wished for water and immediately he got enough water. Then he was hungry and wished he got some food and he got enough food to eat. Then it was twilight time and darkness was spreading slowly. He was so afraid that some wild animals would come and attack him and immediately that too happened. The thing was, that he was sitting under the Kalpavriksha tree.
The case is the same for us too. We ask God for all good things and the rest of the day we think about all undesirable things. The most important thing you should understand is that every thought is a prayer. As per experts around 65,000 thoughts come to our mind daily. What is actually happening is out of this only very few will be our actual positive wishes or prayers, normally we do at temple, church or mosque. Rest of the day we keep on worrying about the bad side of our life and remember this is also as effective as your prayers. So effectively you are wishing for negative things all the time. Then how can the universe can shower positive things in your life ? These are the mistakes you make while thinking.
So if you really want to change your life and want positive things to happen in your life, then YOU need to change your way of thinking. Now what is happening is your more powerful negative thoughts are overpowering your positive prayers to God or Universe. So learn some mind management techniques and try to be always positive or try to keep the mind blank as much as possible. I have discussed many mind management techniques in my previous posts. It is not an easy task but with constant effort everybody can achieve it. Without changing the mindset we cannot change our life. Otherwise we will be stuck in a circle of sufferings which has no end.
