Become the Creator

We all want to live peacefully. You can have this joy by committing yourself to creating a peaceful and loving world

If we want life to happen the way we want it, the first and foremost requirement is to be clear about what it is that we really want. If we do not know what we want, the question of creating it does not arise.

At every stage in our lives we tend to think, ‘This is it. If this one thing happens everything will be fine with my life.’ You reach there and you realise that is not it and you postpone it to something else and something else.

This is constantly going on. If we look at what we really want, what every human being wants is to live joyfully, he wants to live peacefully and when it comes to relationships, he wants it to be loving and affectionate.

Or in other words, all that any human being is seeking is pleasantness within himself and pleasantness around him.

This pleasantness, if it happens in our body, we call it health and pleasure. If it happens in our mind, we call it peace and joy. If it happens in our emotion, we call it love and compassion.

If it happens in our energy, we call it blissfulness and ecstasy. If this is what we want to create, a pleasant human being within and a peaceful and loving world outside, it is time we address it directly and commit ourselves to creating it.

For this, all we need to do is be peaceful, joyful and loving within ourselves. So every day, we should start with this simple clarity of thought in our minds that today wherever we go, we will create a peaceful, loving and joyful world. If we fall down 100 times in the day, it is 100 lessons learnt.

For a committed man, there is no such thing as failure. If we commit ourselves like this to creating what we really care for, our mind gets organised. Once our mind gets organised, our emotions will get organised. The way we think is the way we feel.

Once our thought and emotion is organised, our energies will get organised in the same direction. Once our thought, emotion and energies are organised, our very body will get organised.

Once all these four are organised in one direction, our ability to create and manifest what we want is phenomenal. We are the creator in many ways.
