Thought 174: We are all transceivers

We are all transceivers; we transmit as well as we receive “thoughts signals”, without our knowledge, of course. We have invisible antennae, which facilitate receiving thoughts as well as transmitting thoughts. In certain places or occasions especially, our antennae become very sensitive – they pick up signals very easily and radiate signals equally easily.

For instance, devotees go to a temple out of Bhakti. When they enter the temple, their thoughts are full of Bhakti, which they radiate unconsciously. The temple environment is full of such pious thoughts transmitted similarly by the other devotees who visit the temple –which you receive and which sometimes may even resonate in your mind. All devotees are generally tuned to the “temple radio station” – and therefore, they pick up these signals very easily.

Similarly, when we go to a restaurant for food, we transmit and receive thoughts of enjoyment of good food – and the restaurant environment is full of such thoughts. These “received” thoughts, reinforce our own thoughts of anticipating to eat and enjoy good food – which makes the enjoyment even more agreeable. This is what we mean by the term, “atmosphere” in a restaurant. The same food, if consumed at home, is not so enjoyable. This is the reason why we prefer to go to a temple also. We could have done the prayers at home, but not so effectively.

In the same manner, we also pick up signals at the place of work as well as at home. It is because of this reason, good managers try to keep the atmosphere at the place of work “clean” – meaning, that they ensure that no one radiates negative thoughts, which can vitiate the atmosphere at the work place and make it highly unproductive. Similarly, you do not want your children, for instance, to pick up at home, “the swings in your moods”. If they do, they also imbibe the same qualities when they grow up. Surely, you don’t want that to happen.

Make sure that the children at home pick only the right signals – which are full of enthusiasm, fun, Bhakti, achievement, character, morals, and in short, all the right values, which every parent wants his or her children to absorb and grow up with.
