"You are what you absorb yourself with"  - A. W. Tozer

A mind decides the whole course of life, as the power of thoughts is incredible. Right thinking enables you to always respond the right way to the multitude of circumstances that come into our lives. Thoughts attract like things into one's life.

Thoughts are the substance of things. It is the thought that precedes action. It is the thought that becomes the action; at least the thoughts we dwell on and really embrace do. From time immemorial, there have been two contradicting theories prevalent in the world.

One of the theories holds the belief that peace and progress are possible through plentiful of resources. In contrast, the second thought stream holds that thoughts are origin for the external situations. On the basis of thoughts, the necessary means are procured and good deeds are performed.

The truth has incredible ramifications for our lives. If we think insecurely about ourselves, we will attract insecure things into our lives. If we focus on God, we will attract the likeness of God into our lives. As Jon Bender coined it, “thoughts are things, things have gravity, and gravity attracts.”

This thought theory stresses that if the mind is controlled along, then necessary resources would never fall short; Whereas the abundance theory indicates happiness is directly proportionate to the amount of resources, with no effect from the lack of competency and other factors.

Dani Johnson grew up in an extremely abusive home. At 19, she found herself working as a waiter at a restaurant and someone talked her into going into a business. Her business was doing real badly when another person told her there was a training seminar she needed to attend. The training was extremely expensive and Dani could not afford it. “Well,” the person said, “if you do not go to the training you are going to fail. So save yourself the grief and quit now.” Dani borrowed money from her boyfriend and three credit cards and went to the training. In the first two weeks after the training, she made $4000 and within months she was making a six-figure income. Then she got married on a whim. Her husband drained all her money and walked out on her, leaving her living out of a car on the street with $2 in her hand. She said, “I was suicidal that night. But when I woke up in the morning, I made a decision that I was going to take that training that I had and rebuild my life. She worked her way back up to a six-figure income.

In every person's life, there are situations where one overcomes adversity with sheer strength of thoughts. Param Pujya Gurudev Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya is pioneer in creating thought revolution movement across the world. Vichar Kranthi Abhiyaan infuses confidence in one's self that energy follows thoughts. Millions across India and many other countries became members in this revolution and the foremost point on the revolution agenda is to replace the current negative and violent thoughts in human beliefs with positive, peaceful, all-encompassing thoughts leading to one universal family, called by sages of yore as “Vasudhaika Kutumbakam”.

There are many such sparks across the world that believes in similar philosophy. Morticia from Madera in California, USA writes about herself in Care2net "The world is in need of a thought revolution, and although it's a slow change, all it takes is one person, and I hope to be the one to spark it."

People like Morticia, Dani Johnson, etc are persons who got ignited through sheer circumstances, while Vichara Kranti Abhiyaan from Pujya Gurudev is an effort in streamlining the philosophy and passing the benefits to the entire world.

The centenary celebrations of the birth of Pujya Gurudev Shriram Sharma Acharya would be celebrated in 2010 and the millions of members in the thought revolution movement vow to pass it to the entire mankind within this time, directly or indirectly, physically or spiritually.
