Thought pollution – root cause of all ills
Once a great intellectual personality quoted, “Everything is created twice first in mind and then in reality. The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master.” Now let us commence with a better approach to the words of the term ‘Thought Pollution’ separately. Pollution is a very quotidian term to which gentry of this contemporary world is very much accustomed. As we all know the most comprehensible elucidation of this word is something undesired, i.e. when something gets contaminated due to inclusion of some unwanted elements into its pure form, it becomes or it gets polluted, that simply what pollution is. The main cause which brings this pollution in city, state or country is the thought pollution of the people, ignorance and irresponsibility towards our environment. We all are thinking beings besides human beings. Our brain and mind are clouded with thousands of thoughts; some world changers, some world destroyers. The way we think and the kind of ideology we do possess with, is a clear cut expression which could define us in a more better way. Those were only the thoughts, which demarcated dictator ruler Hitler from other rulers, who sown the seeds of brutality in the minds of the common people on the grounds of caste and with his inhumane practices ruined the lives of millions but on the other hand, the world witnessed the presence of a great nation builder Mahatma Gandhi who implored people for non-violence and tranquility. Greatest of all contamination thought or ideological pollution is a kind of an intangible pollution but its consequences affects not only intangible but also tangible assets of this materialistic world. Mind is the most vital and splendid gift of god to human beings. This is our intellect and capacity to think which makes us dissimilar from other living creatures of the diversified spectrum of this biological living world. Thoughts can go beyond measurable worth. In today's scenario right thinking is slowly losing its place in this world and is replaced by the polluted thinking. This polluted thinking includes unnatural thinking, devious thinking, harmful thinking, prejudicial thinking, selfish thinking and sick thinking. This ill thinking gives birth to many problems. It ruins societal integrity and stature. Many crimes like rape, murder, robbery etc. are consequences of polluted thoughts so it caters path for establishment of several anti-social behaviour in the society. This is also the basic cause of the declination in no. of people following human ethic system, because of which individuals have forgotten to respect their elders and love their fellow beings, which in due course dismantles family structure and strength which in turn give rise to many social issues like suicides, depressive disorders, etc. These kinds of social issues are prevailing in the society because people are losing bond of togetherness between each other as it is correctly stated, ‘The worst distance between two person is misunderstanding.’ And this results in weak, immoral and unhealthy families and society. Whenever, I am anxious, worried and tensed about my examination or any other task then my parents always advice me to ‘Be Positive’. This is because of one simple reason that positive and healthy thinking leads to better and positive outcomes of our physical and the mental expenditure over that particular task. So, if one is possessing negative thoughts then he will certainly be degraded in his characteristics. It even affects his accuracy in his dexterity and he loses firm determination and successful approach towards his ambition and ends up achieving nothing besides regret. Thus, this contaminated thinking acts as an obstruction between goals and its accomplishment. Power of thoughts, let it be negative or positive, is not only confined or cramped to the individual level but also it influences a larger part of a society. For example, vicious and revengeful thoughts in a person's mind against the nation, would lead to terrorism and these thoughts will have their impact on the lives of the citizens of the entire nation. As we have noticed that the root essence of all crimes and other antisocial deeds is polluted thoughts. Now, a significant controversy comes forward while analyzing this issue more deeply, that will it be apt to say that a child takes birth with a mindset full of contamination. In my perspective, no, not at all this happens in this manner but this polluted thought process altogether depends on the orientation, surroundings, peer groups, social prejudices, etc. Now consider, if a person is unemployed or do not have a good means of livelihood, then he is threatened and trolled by the society and even by his family members. Under the suppression of melancholy due to this inhumane behaviour of the society, his thoughts go out of the leak to think and behave in an awkward manner, which urge him to participate in many wrong and unethical money-making jobs. So, to eradicate this problem the transformation of thoughts is not only required on individual basis but also at other higher stages of the society. At the individual level to get rid of negative thoughts, he can simply do it by reaching the core of his body and his mind through yogic and meditative approaches. We can exterminate this contamination from our lives by thinking positive. Our thoughts have frequencies to attract similar thoughts, so if we think negative, we would develop a chain of negative thinking and if it persists for a long span of time period, then it will eventually extirpate the inner solace of our body and soul. But if we think positive no such issue arises and we lead an elated and gleeful life. I finally conclude by stating that, thought pollution is the main pollution that encourages all the other kinds of contaminations. So, when we work on our thoughts transformation of understanding, hygiene and safety all the other things will be lined up in most efficient and adorable way. # Transform the thoughts to transform the society and the entire world # THINK POSITIVE BE POSITIVE STAY POSITIVE….
