Negative Imagination Brings a Big Chaos in Our Lives

This vignette is taken from Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji's discourses on the mind, while teaching Yoga Sutras of Sage Patanjali to his students at Hariharananda Gurukulam, at Balighai, near Puri in India. The nature of the mind is always to think. In fact alternative thinking or imagination is most common amongst all of us. We hear one thing and we imagine something else. Paramahamsaji says that this kind of negative thinking brings a big chaos in our lives. The revered Guru shares several examples of how this is a common occurrence in our daily lives. Comforting the seeker that this happens to all, Guruji also shares an experience from his own life from the early 1980s. The story is beautiful to hear and realize how divine providence and will takes care of everything anyway, in spite of our worries and imagination. Paramahamsaji also offers clear guidance on how we can change our thinking to avoid such miseries in life. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda is a God-realized master and the current Guru of an authentic and unbroken lineage of Kriya Yoga masters represented by Kriya Yoga International organizations. Paramahamsaji is a world renowned teacher of Spirituality and his discourses and classes on the Gita, Yoga Sutra of Sage Patanjali, and the Upanishads are a veritable spiritual treasure for all seekers.
