Imagination !

Coue, one of the great psychologists of the West, helped millions of people just through imagination to be cured of many, many diseases.

His formula was very simple.
He will say that, ”Just you start feeling that you are okay. Just go on repeating inside the mind, I am getting better and better.

Everyday I am getting better.” In the night while you fall asleep, go on thinking you are healthy, and you are getting healthier every moment, and by the morning you will be the healthiest person in the world.

Go on imagining.”And he helped millions of people. Even incurable diseases were cured. It looked like a miracle; it isnothing. It is just a basic law: your mind follows imagination.

Now psychologists say that if you say to children that ”You are duffers, dull,” they become dull. You Force them to be dull.

You give their imagination the suggestion that they are dull. Many experiments have been done.

Say to a child, ”You are dull. You cannot do anything; you cannot solve this mathematical problem, and give him the problem and tell him, ”Now try,” he will not be able to solve it.

You have closed the door. Say to the child, ”You are intelligent and I have not seen any intelligent boy like you are; for your stage, your age you are over-intelligent.

You show many potentialities; you can solve any problem. Now try this,” and he will be able to solve it. You Have given imagination to him.

Now these are scientific proofs, now scientific discoverings, that whatsoever imagination catches, it becomes a seed. Whole generations have been changed, whole ages, whole countries have beenchanged, just through imagination.

You go Punjab. I was traveling once from Delhi to Manali. My driver was a Sikh, a sardar.

The way,the road, was dangerous, and the car was very big. And the driver became many times afraid. And Many times he will say, ”Now I cannot go ahead. We will have to go back.” We tried in every way to persuade him.

At one point he became so afraid he stopped the car, got out of the car and said,”No!

Now I cannot move from here. It is dangerous,” he said. ”It may not be dangerous for you; you may be ready to die. But I am not I want to go back.”By chance one of my friends who is also a sardar and was a big police official, he was also coming, following me to attend the camp in Manali.

His car reached, so I told him that ”Do something! The Man has gone out of the car.” That police official came and he said, ”You being a sardar, and a Sikh and a coward?

Get into the car.” The man immediately came into the car and started. So I asked him, ”What is the matter?” He said ”Now he has touched my ego. He says, You are a sardar?

”Sardar means leader of men. ”A Sikh?
And a coward? He has touched my imagination. He has touched my pride.

Now we can go. Dead or alive, but we will reach Manali.”And this has not happened with one man.

If you go to Punjab, you will see that it has happened with millions. Look at the Hindus of Punjab and at the Sikhs of Punjab. Their blood is same; they belong to the same race.

Five hundred years before all were Hindus. And then a different type of race,a military race, was born. Just by growing beard, just by changing your face, you cannot become rave.

But you can! Imagination.

Nanak gave the imagination that ”You are a different type of race. You are unconquerable.” And once they believe, once that imagination started to work, in the Punjab, within five hundred years, a newrace, totally different from Punjabi Hindus has come into being.

Nothing is different.

But in India, no one is braver than they. These two world wars have proved that on whole of the earth Sikhs have no comparison.

They can fight fearlessly.
What has happened?

Just their imagination has created a milieu around them. They feel that just being Sikhs they are different.

Imagination works It can make a brave man out of you, it can make a coward.
