mental images are distorted and undefined.
With strong feeling, repeat mentally: My will is powerful, pure and irresistible. OM OM
OM. I can do everything through my will. OM OM OM. I have an invincible will. OM OM
OM.
Will is the dynamic soul-force. When it operates all the mental powers such as the power
of judgment, power of memory, power of grasping, power of conversation, reasoning power,
power of discrimination, power of reflection and inferenceall these come into instant play.
Will is the king of mental powers. When rendered pure and irresistible, thought and will
can work wonders. Will becomes impure and weak through vulgar passions, love of pleasures
and desires. The lesser the number of desires, the stronger is the thought power, and the will.
When sexual energy, the muscular energy, anger, etc., are transmuted into the will-force they
are
controlled. There is nothing impossible on earth for a man of strong will-power.
When you give up an old habit of drinking coffee, you have controlled to a certain extent
the sense of taste, destroyed one Vasana, and have eliminated the craving for it. As there is
freedom from the efforts to procure coffee and also from the habit of taking it, you will gain
some peace. The energy involved in the hankering for coffee, and which was agitating you,
will
now be converted into the power of will. By this conquest over one desire, you gain willpower;
and if you conquer some fifteen such desires, your will-power will be fifteen times stronger
and
more powerful. And this conquest, by imparting strength to the will, will help you conquer
other
desires, too.

concentration
and meditation develop strong, well-formed mental images.
Most of your thoughts are not well-grounded. They come and slip away. They are,
therefore, vague and indefinite. The images are not clear, strong and well-defined.
You will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking. Through
Vichara, ratiocination, Manana or deep reflection and meditation, you will have to make the
thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will
become firm.

Through right thinking, reasoning, introspection and meditation, you will have to clarify
your ideas. Then confusion will vanish. The thoughts will get settled and well-grounded.
Think clearly. Clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude. Purify your
thoughts to a considerable degree. Silence the thoughts.
Dont allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought-wave rise and settle down calmly. Then
allow another thought to enter. Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with
the
subject-matter you are handling at the present moment.
the universe.
Thoughts are living things; they move; they possess form, shape, colour, quality,
substance, power and weight.
Thought is the real action; it reveals itself as a dynamic force.
A thought of joy creates sympathetically a thought of joy in others. The birth of a noble
thought is a potent antidote to counteract an evil thought.
Through the instrumentality of exercised positive thought, we come to acquire creative
power.
Understand and realize the powers of thought. Unfold the hidden powers or occult
faculties. Close the eyes. Concentrate. Explore the higher regions of the mind.

persons who are at a distance and move about to a distant place in the twinkling of an eye.
