Manifest the Divinity in You

Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within, by controlling nature, external or internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy – by one, or more, or all of these – and be free. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary – Swami Vivekananda

My mother used to say, “There is both God and devil in every human. We have to let the God occupy the whole of our self and keep the devil at the tip of our toe.” The truth is that we have to use all our strength to push the devil to the tip of our toe. Otherwise the devil will take control of our self.

Controlling the devil, in other words, controlling the good and bad in us is the first step. We must suppress the evil thoughts and evil qualities, and manifest the divinity within us. For this, we have to constantly think of good things.

Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals; place them day and night before you. Out of that will come great work – Swami Vivekananda

One method to fill the brain with high thoughts will be to read the lives of great people. In course of time, good thinking will become a natural habit.

PS: We wish to present the lives of such great people in this blogsite very soon – Team Ganappa
