The Source: Power Of Happy Thoughts
Man is all about his actions, feelings and thoughts. Actions include his words too. And life is all about these three facets of hands, heart and head. But there is also a fourth facet that of consciousness on the background of which actions, feelings and thoughts emanate from. There is a lot said and written about these three facets. There is a lot of training given to these three areas. But what about the fourth?
In engineering everybody understands the three facets of input, process and output. People understand that improving the output is not possible until process and specially input is changed. But is there a fourth aspect besides input, process and output. And the fourth aspect is the context in which workers are creating the output by changing the output through a process. Visionary thinkers have now begun thinking and impacting the fourth aspect too. They are understanding that the context or the culture in which workers operate are more important.
In human engineering, actions are equivalent to output, feelings are equivalent to the process and thoughts are the input. Behaviour and actions are brought forth because of the input of thought and the further power that feelings process. That is why to change behaviour, it is important to change your feelings (process) and more importantly your thoughts (input). Yes, thoughts are very important. Change in thoughts through positive thinking is essential. But the fourth dimension is even more important. Yes, the context in which actions, feelings and thoughts arise is that of consciousness silence experience of being alive.
Very little has been understood about this fourth dimension. Some call it The Self. When that is accessed, then harnessing thoughts, feelings and actions is very simple and easy. When the context in an organization is changed, then inputs, processes and outputs can all take a quantum jump. What a leader in an organization has to do is to precisely do that ??? change the context. The three facets are all lying on the foundation of the fourth. As a leader leading your life, it is similarly important to understand and access the consciousness from where actions, feelings and thoughts arise from. That is why it is called the source.
Imagine, not being clear about your own source. But that is what is happening most people don't know their own source. The secret of the third aspect of thoughts is not just enough. The source of the thoughts is what matters. Even in the name of spirituality, which is actually the study of the source, everything other than the fourth dimension is being focused on. The three dimensions spirituality focuses on are exercising, breathing and thinking: Yoga, Pranayama and Gyan. But the fourth dimension of silence, that of Moun is the missing link. In the name of spirituality yogic asanas or breathing exercises or concentration exercises in the name of meditation are given importance to. But until, the source is accessed, until consciousness is manifested, it is not complete.
Man is always comfortable with the three dimensions of length, breath and depth. But the fourth dimension is what gives colour to his life. Spirituality talks about the three states of sleeping, awakening and dream states. But discovering the fourth state (turiya) is the missing link. Discovering this fourth state should be the highest priority in life.

About the author
Sirshree
482 books23 followersSirshree’s spiritual quest, which began during his childhood, led him on a journey through various schools of thought and meditation practices. The overpowering desire to attain the truth made him relinquish his teaching job. After a long period of contemplation, his spiritual quest ended with the attainment of the ultimate truth. Sirshree says, “All paths that lead to the truth begin differently, but end in the same way—with understanding. Understanding is the whole thing. Listening to this understanding is enough to attain the truth.”
To disseminate this understanding, Sirshree devised Tejgyan—a unique system for wisdom—that helps one to progress from self-help to self-realization.
He has delivered more than a thousand discourses and written over fifty books. His books have been translated in more than ten languages and published by leading publishers such as Penguin Books, Hay House Publishers, Jaico Books, etc. Sirshree’s retreats have transformed the lives of millions and his teachings have inspired various social initiatives for raising global consciousness.

"Life is not something that happens to us; rather, it is something that happens through us!"
Beginning with such a beautiful message,
"The Source: Power of Happy Thoughts" written by the eminent author Sirshree, takes us through a spiritual journey into the realization of the Source, finding the key to unlock its secret to access and unleash its full potential.
Divided in three parts, the book delves into the details of the Source of all creation and answers many unanswered, and at times, certain unasked questions. The short but intense chapters, rich in spirituality, elaborate every single concept with such perfection and simplicity that it leaves no doubt or confusion in the mind of the readers.
While in the journey, the book also suggests several techniques of meditation which are known to have benefited several souls in the past. Approaching it through a step by step process and explaining it in simple language, it brings home different methods of meditation which can be adopted to foster the peace of mind and awaken the Source within.
Throughout the book, wisdom of the highest quality is poured into the mind of the readers, drop by drop in little amounts. And if the knowledge can be absorbed with an open mind, it is sure to bring about a spiritual upliftment and an awenkening which is necessary for every single person who wish to walk towards their soul purpose in this life.
At the end of the book, the readers will emerge as an evolved soul, all set to realize their fullest potential, driven by the power and the highest purpose of the Source within, embracing life with all its struggles, challenges and celebrations.
"Accessing the Source is the key to the ultimate treasure of life, a treasure that is already present within you."

The book is divided into 3 segments where each segment is comprised of different chapters. The book kicks off with the topic( "QUEST, LOVE & PEACE; Where it can be found), which teaches about the presence of love, peace, and happiness contained within us and not in external things.
Through every chapter, the author is trying to explain how we deal with situations on a day-to-day basis from happiness, sorrow, love, joy peace, patience, etc, etc. The only factor that's left behind is that we are not clear on, handling these feelings wherein, this book is a clear solution to handle those situations and lead a happy and focused life.
Some chapters like "Power of Patience" are captivating and lesson-worthy which teaches us about the value of waiting by giving examples like; If you sow the seed of black bamboo, then you have to patiently tend to it for several months before the seeds even sprouts. But once it sprouts, it grows to the height of 30 feet within just three months! This is the fruit of patience.
My favorite part was on the explanation of the "Power of happiness" and how happiness can only be experienced here and now in the present moment and not in the future. The best about this book is that every chapter begins with a story so that it becomes easy for the readers to understand the reaming chapter and make the learning curve easier.
Sirshree has put a lot of thought, before writing down this enlightening piece of work.
