The greatest tragedy seems to be what we ignore the fact that thoughts alone create. Activities gain a potency from the power of thought that feeds them. When the feeder is choked and dissipated, the executing power in the external activities becomes feeble.
Thoughts from a single-pointed mind must flow steadily in full inspiration, enthusiasm, and vigour towards the determined goal that the individual has chosen for himself in life.
Channelizing the thought power towards the goal is the first step for gaining success in one’s endeavours. But more thinking is not sufficient.
Many of today’s youths, though capable of consistently maintaining in life a goal, are not ready to enter the field and invoke the possibilities dormant in the situation.
Hence, the need to do upasana (worship). Through worship we invoke the ‘deity’ meaning ‘the potential in any given field’. This should be a total effort for carving out one’s victories in one’s field of endeavour.
