Question- Why are our thoughts more negative than positive?
Yogiji- That is because you are selfish. Selfishness breeds negativity. But if you are not selfish, you will not be in this world.
A shooter training for Olympics had come to me few years back. I told him that he should go for the competition with a detached mind. Not to win a medal, but to give in his best without thinking about the result. His wife was listening to the conversation and demanded, 'What kind of an advise is this? This way he will never win. He needs to inculcate the killer instinct rather than becoming saintly.' So when this shooter went for the game, he won the medal once, but was never seen on the international arena ever again.
If you attempt anything with high levels of detachment, you will be successful. But if you approach it with selfishness, you will fail even if you achieve it because you will not get satisfaction. The 'killer instinct' takes you nowhere. The ones who focus on just their self, do not reach anywhere in life. The ones who are openhearted, who expand themselves are the ones who rise in creation.
So open yourself. Do not hold on to things thinking that is all that is there and that what will happen if you lose it? Infact the more you distribute, the more successful you will be, I can guarantee you that."
