Right Thinking and Character Building

Spiritual evolution implies a process, and process implies time. It implies mistakes. With some people, their conscience is oversensitive. They think that they are the worst people on earth when they make a small mistake . 
If you keep on recalling the wrong things you have done and you keep on criticizing yourself, it will be almost impossible to correct the mistake or remove the vice. What you meditate on , you become. What should you do?First,mentally erase the unwholesome event. Then imagine you are doing, saying and feeling the right think. Imagine, too , that the other person involved is reacting in the right way. Why?This is the power of materialization.
What you think repeatedly with certainty will tend to manifest. Repeated wholesome thoughts and emotions manifest as wholesome action;repeated wholesome actions manifest as a virtue. The same holds true for negative thoughts.

Cultivating the virtue of Faith

How to obtain faith?We can obtain it from those who have it. Faith is very contagious. It is electrical;once you receive it, it charges ou for a long time.
We can obtain faith by following the history of our life and seeing the dangers and troubles we passed through with invisible help.We can consider how an invisible hand guided us to the right plaves, to the right people, to the right conditions in which we grew.
We can obtain faith by living a life of service, sacrifice, and purity. We can obtain faith by reading the lives of Great Ones and pondering upon their Teachings.
We can obtain faith through steady, regular meditation. Steady, regular meditation takes us eventually to the Spheres of Intuition where faith starts. When the Fourth Cosmic Ether, or the Intuitional substance, penetrates our etheric, emotional, and mental bodies, we feel charged with faith.

Holy Master D.K. Quote

Offering of the Student

The student must be ready to bring his offering to his Teacher before he is admitted. This offering is not flowers, money, body, material articles but Higher Treasuries such as various TALENTS that can be used for the work; various inner ACHIEVEMENTS that profit the efforts of the Teacher; SILENCE and the control of speech which does not create disturbances in the aura of the Teacher and which can be used for service; various VIRTUES that can be used in the labor of the Teacher.
The student must be somebody. He must have something to offer. This is why he is left for a long time by himself. He must prove his sincerity, his aspiration, his willpower, his striving, his gratitude, his labor, and his service

Currents of Thought

Thought is sometimes compared with the ocean--the comparison is plausible. Each man has three basic currents of thought. A superficial one--from the flesh, connected with muscular reflections, obvious in the external life. The second already concerns the heart, and contributes to improvement and progress in the subtle feelings. And finally, in the depths of the consciousness is being conceived the achievement of self-renunciation--here the Fiery World will be near. Each man can touch all Worlds; even in the routine of his everyday life he can choose the type of thinking he desires.

GMCKS Quote

Thought

At times people are ready to admit the power of thought, but they do not apply this admission to themselves. They dream of great thoughts but will not discipline the small ones. They will ask how to transmute thought into action. One must begin by disciplining the smallest thoughts and then, only, create a thought that moves mountains. The advice about disciplining small thoughts is the inception of bringing health to the heart. Do not rely upon a variety of outer pranayamas. The path of Agni Yoga is through the heart, but the heart must be aided by disciplining thoughts. Disorderly thoughts are like vermin, they injure the subtle substance.
