Bliss attracts Fortune!
(Taken from Swamiji's talks during the Ananda Ula program in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India in Nov - '05)

The very title, Bliss attracts Fortune is so beautiful. You may wonder: ‘Fortune can bring us bliss; how can bliss bring us fortune?!’

In India, when any new thing is started, be it a business or a construction or something to do with education, the first thing that we do is, sit down for a few moments, close our eyes and be in a meditative mood; we try to bring about some kind of an Energy play or transformation inside us. Of course, over the years, this has become a prayer and a ritual; that is a different issue. But the first thing that we try to do is, sit down and try to kindle the Energy flow in us.

When the Energy flow in us becomes fulfilling, it has the property of influencing the outer world incidents. Whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, like it or not, want it or not, you are deeply connected to Existence; you are an integral part of Existence, not an independent island as you think. Every subtle movement or subtle thought in one part of the Universe causes a counter-effect at that same moment else where in the Universe.

Our thoughts and Energy flow have the capacity to create and attract incidents and people of the same nature. It has been proven by a scientist in Japan that our thoughts can affect the chemical structure of a mere glass of water. Then just imagine, how much our thoughts can affect our body and mind, which is made up of blood? Our thoughts have the capacity to affect the seas. Be very clear: All the so-called natural calamities are nothing but the effects of global negative thoughts.

From young, we have been trained in ‘Mathematics logic’, never in ‘Existential logic’. Mathematics logic is very straightforward and should be applied only to things where it is appropriate. In matters concerning life and relationships, mathematics logic will cause only chaos. With it, we will always look to conclude with a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ judgment. There is something beyond and more deep than this and that is Existential logic. This comes with a deep understanding and flowering from within.

Your thoughts and Energy directly affect your body, your cell structure, your decisions, your capacity to fulfill your decisions, the outer world incidents, even accidents. Currently, you are always centered in either greed or fear. Every action that you do is out of either desire or fear. It becomes very easy for others to exploit you because of this; you become very vulnerable. You create a mental setup that creates and attracts similar incidents to you. You also corrupt your Energy flow with this.

If you can change your mental setup from this type, to one of Bliss, or Ananda, then your Energy flow will start brimming and your thoughts will be much clearer and more in the present. When you do this, you have every power to control the outer world incidents because you and Existence have a very deep connection at the Energy level. This is the thread that you need to catch in order to understand that Bliss attracts fortune. When you are blissful, when your mental setup is not one of worry, fear and greed but one that is in the present, always joyful, you will automatically attract all good things to yourself.

Let you understand this and be one, in, with and radiate Nithyananda, Eternal Bliss.
