For Development: Creating a World with Our Minds…

Hasmukh Patel I had to go to Hyderabad for training in the month of October this year. I had to catch another flight of the same airline from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and from Mumbai to Hyderabad. There was a limited time between the two flights. If the first flight was not too late, there was no problem in catching the second flight. The first flight left Ahmedabad on time and Mumbai also landed on time. But after landing there was a long delay in reaching the airport building. I thought it wouldn't matter if the flight from Mumbai was a little late. Asked the brother who booked my ticket to get the information about taking the next flight. He gave the news that it would take off on time. My heart rate was increasing as our flight was struggling to reach Airport 52. After disembarking from one plane, it takes a long time to get to another plane. It is not like getting off one bus and getting on another bus. Entered the airport again, settled the long ceremony and had to board a new flight. The ticket guy explained to me over the phone that since both flights are from the same company, telling my current flight attendants will help me catch the new flight. But that has to be done when my plane reaches the landing place and the plane doors open. My plane was not supposed to accelerate. The flight to Hyderabad was about to take off. Given the timing of the airport ceremony, the chances of getting the plane were almost non-existent. My stress was unbearable. Suddenly I got an idea. What is the benefit of stress? It is not possible to find the plane by straining. So what to do with stress? Instead of stressing, I started thinking positively. No matter how late this flight is, I can catch the next flight. Even though that was now impossible, I continued to believe so. It did not make any difference to the speed of the plane. Finally the plane reached the destination. Given the delay, there was little chance of catching the plane, but I quickly started to take off. Reached the front of the plane and requested the flight attendant to help me catch the flight to Hyderabad. He said: 'Don't worry, this is the plane going to Hyderabad, you get off the plane and stand at the front, we will put you straight back on this plane.' This was unimaginable, just magic. I kept a positive attitude even though there was no way to catch the plane given the time and circumstances. I said to myself, 'worrying is of no use, so why not stop worrying and be positive?' It was hard to do so, yet I did. The result was obvious. Such magic was not the first time, it happened to me many times. So what did I worry about? Do you experience stress at work? Did I already have a strong belief in magic? Is work stress harming my mind and body? I have spoken many times in public, written articles about staying positive, so I should not be stressed, in any difficult situation, I should stay in the world of magic. But it doesn't happen to me. I get stressed, why? Stressing is the default state, casting spells is a created–self-created state. Tension happens automatically, magic has to be created. There may be exceptions, but this is the case with most people. Does it make any difference if we keep doing Mahavara continuously? If needed, Mahavaro never fails, it always gets results. But we have created a lot more anxiety than magic. So the default state of tension comes automatically, the magic state has to be created manually. We are humans, not spiders with keys. Like a human being, not only to feel emotions, but also to create something new in a human being. We have created the world around us. We can also create our mental world. With our mind we create the world and yes we can destroy it, if we make the right choice. }
