Thought Power Changes Destiny

Man sows a thought and reaps an action. He sows an action and reaps a habit. He sows a
habit and reaps a character. He sows a character and reaps a destiny.
Man has made his own destiny by his own thinking and acting. He can change his
destiny. He is the master of his own destiny. There is no doubt of this. By right thinking and
strong exertion, he can become the master of his destiny.
Some ignorant people say: “Karma does everything. It is all destiny. If I am destined by
my Karma to be like this or that why then should I exert? It is my destiny only.”
This is fatalism. This will bring inertia, stagnation and misery. This is perfect
misunderstanding of the laws of Karma. This is a fallacious argument. An intelligent man will
certainly not put such a question. You have made your own destiny from within by your thoughts
and actions.
You have a free will to choose now. You have got Svatantrata in action. A rogue is not an
eternal rogue for all times. Put him in the company of a saint. He will change in no time. He will
think and act now in a different way and will change his destiny. He will become saintly in
character.
Dacoit Ratnakar was changed into Sage Valmiki. Jagai and Madai were transformed.
They were rogues of the first waters. You can become a Yogi or a Jnani. You can make your
destiny. You can make your Karma in any way you like. Use the Power of Thought. Think
rightly, think nobly. You will have only to think, and to act. By right thinking, by right desiring,
by right acting, you can become a Sage, a millionaire. You can attain the position of Indra or
Brahma by good thought and action, by good Karma. Man is not a helpless being. He has a free
will of his own.
