Power Of Small Transformations

One more thing, even simple things which you change will make a difference in your life. Please understand, you don't know the power of simple changes which you can make. If you change simple things every day, small things every day, within a year or two, you will see great transformation!

Suddenly, you will see the cumulative effect of those simple changes. Over a period of time they will cause a huge transformation. It is the cumulative effect of a few simple changes. But somehow, we don't respect simple changes. We want instant transformation. But we don't have

the intensity for that. The only option is to express shakti, the energy to change whatever you can.

People usually complain, 'No Swamiji, I want to change but I am not able to quit smoking or drinking. I am not able to change.'

Understand that all these you may or may not be able to change because they have become a part of your system. But there is something which you can change immediately. It is what I call the cognitive shift. Changing suddenly is called cognitive shift. For this to happen, you need to change your understanding.

Change your understanding about yourself, the world and your life. You don't need to do anything else. It may appear simple. But when followed, it will cause huge transformation. Then the cognitive shift happens effortlessly.

See, whenever I use the word 'shakti', the power to change whatever you can, what I mean is, change the way in which you think. Whenever I tell people to change, they immediately try to quit smoking or alcohol. They start with the wrong perspective. They struggle to quit alcohol or smoking or some strong habit. This is bound to fail.

You need to change your thinking pattern, your understanding first. You have many ideas, many understandings about the world, which many times disturb you and others. Change that first.

Actually, if you just change the way in which you think, your habits will change automatically. Even if they don't change, it is alright. I am not giving you a license to do whatever you want. No! If you begin to change the way in which you think, your habits will drop automatically.

You will change automatically. You will see that your whole life has become different. Your understanding, the way in which you think...everything will change. You can reprogram your inner software. You can create more clarity and understanding about everything.
