We are what we think of...

Highlights

A thought is the most important thing, because we become what we think of. Once upon a time there lived a Sanyaasi a holy man, sitting by the tree and teaching people. He drank milk, ate only fruits, was endlessly meditating and thought of himself as a saint. In the same village lived a poor woman who was called a witch.

A thought is the most important thing, because we become what we think of. Once upon a time there lived a Sanyaasi – a holy man, sitting by the tree and teaching people. He drank milk, ate only fruits, was endlessly meditating and thought of himself as a saint. In the same village lived a poor woman who was called a witch.

Every day the Sanyaasi went to warn the woman that the black magic she performed will bring her to hell. The poor woman couldn’t change her lifestyle because her black magic was the only way for her existence. She was strongly impressed by the story of her future that Sanyaasi told her. She cried and prayed to God begging to forgive her, because she couldn’t help herself.

And then the saint and the witch died. Angels came and took her soul to heaven, and for the soul of Sanyaasi came the devils. “Why is that?” He protested, “Didn’t I live a life of a saint? Why are they taking me to hell and the evil woman has gone to heaven?” “Because,” the devils responded, “she was forced to commit improper deeds, but her soul was always stretching to God, she prayed for forgiveness and now redemption came to her.
And you did opposite, you committed only good deeds, but in your mind you always concentrated on evil coming from others. You saw only sin, thought only about sin, so now you will go somewhere where there is only sin.”
