Situations
can sometimes change because of people's thoughts. Inside, if a person's
thoughts change, the situation can change. That's why predicting anything
in the future is hardly ever accurate because the future can change
with a person's thought patterns. So don't blame the clairvoyants for
talking nonsense or predicting things that don't come true. Sometimes
it's like that; things are supposed to be a certain way but then the
person changes because they have a strong will, because they've become
more moral or because they've repented for their sins and vowed to improve.
Then the situation changes immediately. There's no need for God or for
anyone to explain the situation. It's really like that.
That's why if you ask me what will happen tomorrow
I won't tell you because I don't know! Only someone stupid would tell
you what will happen tomorrow. Maybe it's possible for one individual,
but only if that individual stays in the same pattern or living standard.
If he or she has even one thought of improvement, his or her destiny
can change.
This means that destiny is in our hands. So make
sure you control your destiny and bring it into a desired state or living
standard. You do control your destiny. Of course we're influenced by
karma; that's why we have to struggle and decide what to do. But we
must always keep our mind positive and use the power of meditation to
make our positive thoughts come true. If you don't meditate and if you
don't have the power of the creative Almighty force inside, it doesn't
matter how positively you think; the thought won't come true. So don't
listen to people who say, "Just think positive and everything will
be positive." That's nonsense! Can it happen that way? If I just
think that I have money, will I? Positively, will I have money? Just
think! Try, try! You don't have to work! (Laughter) Just think positively
that you'll have money, and tell me how much you have! (Laughter)
It can't happen by thinking alone. The back-up
power must be strong. Where does this power come from? From the Most
High. You get it through your meditation; you're recharging then. So
don't just sit there and think; you must meditate, too. Just like thinking
about money doesn't help: We must have a bank account, and the account
must be full of money, or at least full enough to cover the checks.
