How do pure thoughts affect the functioning of the senses and limbs of the human body? Bhagawan explains clearly today, with a clear example.

All actions of man originate in the mind. The mind functions through thoughts. When the thoughts are pure, the mind is also pure. With a purified mind, man’s conduct becomes pure. It is easy for a man to stand, but it is difficult for him to run. But, in the case of the mind, staying still is difficult, but running is easy. This is the difference between man and his mind. The mind runs about swiftly. This is based on the power of the thoughts. When a stone is cast in a well, a series of ripples starts from the point where the stone fell. From there, the ripples go to the edge of the well and cover the entire well. In the same manner, when the stone of thought is cast on the lake of the mind, the ripples started by it, fill all the senses and limbs in the body. When the thought is a pure and sacred one, the ripples emanating from the mind fill all the senses and limbs in the body; from head to toe, with pure reactions. This pure thought, entering the eye, purifies the vision. The same thought entering the ear, makes it listen to sacred sounds. Entering the mouth, it brings about purity in speech. Permeating the hands, it induces them to engage themselves in sacred acts. The sacred ripples from the mind entering the feet induce them to go on pilgrimages.
