"There is a big park not far from here. We can sleep there at night", said the disciple. "In the open air?" Asked the yogi.
"Yes", responded the student.
The yogi smiled and said: "No, tonight we are going to sleep in a hotel and eat there too".
The student was amazed and exclaimed, "We cannot afford that!"
"Come and sit down", said the yogi.
They both sat down on the ground, and the yogi said:
"When you focus your mind intently on any subject, it comes to pass."
The yogi closed his eyes and started to meditate with full concentration. After about ten minutes he got up and started to walk, with his disciple following him. They walked through several streets and alleys, until they arrived at a hotel.
"Come, let's enter inside", the yogi said to his disciple.
They just set foot in the entrance, when a well-dressed man approached them.
"I am the manager of this hotel. You look like traveling swamis, and I believe you have no money. Would you like to work in the kitchen, and in return I'll give you food and a place to stay?"
"Fine", the yogi responded.
The disciple was perplexed and asked the yogi: "Did you use any magic? How did you do that?"
The yogi smiled and said, "I wanted to show you how the power of thoughts works. When you think with full and strong concentration about something that you want to happen, and your mind does not resist the subject of your thought, your thought materializes."
"The secret is concentrating, visualizing, seeing details, having faith and projecting mental and emotional energy into the mental scene. These are the general prerequisites. When your mind is empty from thoughts, and only one single thought is allowed to enter, it gains a very great power. One should be very careful with what he thinks. A concentrated thought is powerful, and exerts a very strong influence."
The disciple looked at his teacher and said: "I see that I have to sharpen my concentration in order to be able to use this power."
"Yes, this is the first step", the yogi replied.

oh....How wonderful the story is! The yogi is a very great person because without any money in his hands he still be able to find food and place to stay. Most people always think that without any money in their hand they will not be able to survive because they don't money to start business, to buy food, to buy medicine, to buy dresses,to buy shelter, etc. But they forget that they have a very amazing thing that they are born with. This amazing thing is their brains that they can use it to solve the problems they are facing. This is the power of though.
Wow The story is great story because this story want to show way to build your mind fresh and stronger.And other it wanted to show us how the power of thoughts works. When we think with full and strong concentration about something that we want to happen, and our mind does not resist the subject of our thought, our thought materializes.
This story teach us to use our brain to earn living without using money.Thinking with deliberately can make use alive if we sharp our think focus on those things.Moreover,it lead us to be better or worse if we think something with shortage of concentrate
Thinking positive is the best approach for living. We are what we thing and our though will result in action (Buddha). It means positive thinking will guide the way we do, and the result will follow. I like the word Yogi said "When you focus your mind intently on any subject, it comes to pass.” He is teaching his disciple to think.
I have learnt from this great story, indeed. Although this group of people is poor, but they are not down with their with the condition. They don't put themselves in the problem of poverty whereas they use their brain to deal with the problems. We are unconsciously born with the power. It's the power of thought. The level of better consequences in every performance totally depends on our brain focus-concentration.
This story was written by me, years ago, and posted on my website at http://www.successconsciousness.com/index_000023.htm
