One day, Yogi and his student arrived at the big city. Yogi had undertaken to teach and train his student. They didn’t have money, but they needed food and a place to stay. The student was certain they were going to beg for their food and sleep in public parks at night.
The student said: There is a big garden not far from here. Can we sleep there at night in the open air? Yogi answered his student’s question. The student said: Yes.
Yogi smiled and said: No, tonight we will go to sleep in the hotel and eat there too. The student was surprised and shouted: We cannot bear that, for we don’t have enough money. Yogi said: Come, sit. Hurry, sit on the ground. Yogi said: When you focus your mind with attention on any subject, it will come to you. It is the power of your thoughts.
Yogi closed his eyes and began contemplating with complete concentration. After about ten minutes, he opened his eyes and began walking, and his student followed him. They walked through several streets and alleys until they reached a hotel. Then Yogi said to his student: Come, let us enter this hotel. As soon as they put their foot in the entrance, a man wearing good clothes approached them and said: I am the manager of this hotel. You seem to be on a journey, and I also believe you have no money. Do you want to work in the kitchen? I need cooks today, and in return, I will give you food and a place to stay. Yogi answered: We agree.
The student stood confused and asked Yogi: Did you use any magic? How did you do that? Yogi smiled, saying: I wanted to explain to you how the power of thoughts works. When you think with complete strong focus around something you want to happen, and your mind doesn’t resist the subject of this idea, your thought becomes reality.
The most important lesson, my son, is the secret behind your mind. Thoughts are hurricanes, and you must believe and imagine the true mental and emotional energy you possess. When your mind is clear of thoughts, and only one idea enters, give it permission to enter and control your mind. This gives it very great power. We must be very careful with what we think, for the focused strong thought practices very strong influence.
The student looked at his teacher and said: I see that I must train my concentration to be able to use this trick. Yes, this is the first step, Yogi answered. The mind plays an important role in achieving all success and goals, whether simple, daily, or main goals.
To achieve anything using the power of your mind, you must know exactly what you want to do to focus your mind on the goal. You need a clear and well-defined goal. The student began to think again, being very surprised by what he heard and by that tremendous power humans possess and don’t exploit: Does every thought turn into reality?
Yogi answered: Not every thought turns into reality. The thought must be repeated many times and be connected with strong desire to be achieved. Doubts, fears, and anxiety destroy the power of your mind, and this means you need to cleanse your mind of negative thoughts and doubts. You may not agree that this is possible, but it is. With appropriate training, it will make you able to realize your thoughts.
