For instance, if someone abuses you, troubles you or provokes you, than you have two ways of responding. One way is to give a ‘tit for tat’ response. That is, just as you have been troubled, you likewise trouble the other person by abusing him, troubling him or harming him. So in times of provocation, you retaliate in like manner. One who retaliates in this way develops a Whosoever negative personality. wants to have a He grows within ‘flowery’ personality will have to activate his him a harvest of mind whenever he has a thor ns. In the negative thought so as eternal world to convert it into a of ‘tomorrow’ positive thought. after death, he will emerge as a thorny personality; he will then be put in a jungle of thorns and will spend the rest of his life eternally grief-stricken and frustrated. A quite different type of person is one who responds in a positive manner to negative situations. Others may abuse him, but he himself will not abuse anyone. Others may torment him, but he will not torment others. He may be harmed, but he will not harm others. Others may provoke him, but he himself will not provoke anyone. This is the man who lives like a flower amidst the thorns. He discovers God while He is unseen in this world and lives a God-oriented life of positivity. He takes the situation as an opportunity to take blessings from God and builds within himself a personality like a flower. So he will be given the opportunity to live in the Garden of flowers after death in the eternal world of paradise.
How do we build a ‘Flowery’
The
Personality? There are two major parts of the human brain. One is the conscious mind and the other is the unconscious mind. When a thought enters the human mind, it does so initially in the conscious mind. Gradually, in due course, it reaches the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is the part where every thought is preserved forever, although that is not in the grasp of man’s conscious mind. Whosoever wants to have a ‘flowery’ personality will have to activate his mind whenever he has a negative thought so as to convert it into a positive thought. Consequently, in the next stage when this thought moves on to the unconscious mind, it is stored as something positive rather than negative. Those men and women who succeed in building such a personality will find that the store of their consciousness will be a treasury of positivism. It will be completely free of negativism. It is positive personalities such as these who will receive a place in the Garden of flowers in the eternal world after death – Paradise – where they shall spend their lives in a perpetual state of joy and bliss.
