we will be trying to establish the good values but for now in the logical
extension of our argument understand how changing values changes our life if you
can replace defective values with progressive values with pure values
values aligned with the universal truth your life becomes blessed and the most
astonishing amazing example of somebody who transformed his life by changing his
values was none other than Alfred Nobel we all know of the Nobel Peace Prize
Alfred Nobel is famous because he installed the Nobel Peace Prize however
many people forget that Alfred Nobel was famous for another thing
prior to this what was that that's right he was the inventor of the dynamite and
he made millions through the dynamite that he invented he was called the
dynamite King an astonishing thing happened in his life he had a brother in
another city that brother passed away one press reporter got it wrong he
thought Alfred Nobel has passed away so he published in the newspaper in the
obituary dynamite King dies out there he criticized Alfred Nobel that through
death and destruction he earned his milli
Alfred Nobel when he got up in the morning drinking tea having his
breakfast he had the benefit of reading his own obituary he came to know what
the world thinks of him and that was the transforming moment in his life he said
this is awful am I going to be remembered in posterity for being the
inventor of the dynamite I have to make changes that was when he established his
foundation and began the Nobel Peace Prize and that became so famous that it
overtook his popularity as being the dynamite King his change in values
changed the complete course of his life so that possibility of transforming
values does exist we have discussed the Third Point in our flow of logic we can
improve improvement requires making good decisions decisions come from values we
need to have great values now how to create values where do values come from
values are determined by the beliefs we hold if you're believers this life is
all there is there's nothing beyond it will impact your values if you are
believers that know there is an afterlife and consequences will catch up
with us your values will change if your belief is there is no creator there is
nobody watching you will have a set values if you are believers God is
always watching it will impact your values if you believe in the law of
karma it will create a set of values if you do not believe in any karma you will
have a different set of values so beliefs are what determine values and
beliefs are innumerable we all hold this immense bundle of beliefs how these
beliefs impact us is most incredible beliefs are not religion or creed
beliefs could be about anything do you believe that your endeavor that new
business will succeed or do you believe it will fail one of the biggest
businessmen of the last century Henry Ford he said whether you believe you
will succeed or you believe you will not in both ways you are right what he meant
was your belief will have such an impact if you believe you will succeed it will
change the way you think it will change the way you utilize your physical mental
intellectual resources the optimism will get generated the conviction the undying
enthusiasm which will make you succeed and if your belief is I will never
succeed then also you are right because you will not be able to use your
god-given resources to manifest the potential they are capable of so we all
have within us a variety of physical processes
using the 630 muscles and 205 bones we all have this brain that God has given
us which has got a hundred billion neurons we all have thoughts attitudes
it is practically impossible to consciously control all of these beliefs
that we install within us they enable the control through your beliefs you
unconsciously control the whole system without realizing it your beliefs bring
so much to bear in your life you know these motivational quotas they often are
fond of giving the example of the four-minute mile up to 1950 to humankind
believed that nobody can run the mile in less than four minutes there was a
four-minute barrier to the mile and for a thousand years varieties of arguments
were given our lung capacity is just not enough to run in less than four minutes
our muscles are not strong enough people believe they can't do it and they could
never do it then came this person called Roger Bannister Roger Bannister he broke
through the four-minute mile barrier in 1952 changing people's beliefs all of a
sudden people believed it can be done and what was the consequence of the
change in belief in that very year 27 people apart from Roger Bannister broke
the four-minute mile barrier suddenly had this ability to break it and the
next year 215 people broke the four-minute mile barrier beliefs have
such a tremendous effect upon us to the extent if people believe they are unwell
they actually become unwell you know I discussed this during the
yoga fest I don't want to repeat those but beliefs are such a thing that is why
you have the concept of remembered illness and remembered wellness what is
that in brief passing a person takes blood pressure at home and it's
absolutely alright 120 80 then he goes to get it checked at the doctors and the
doctor says you've got a marginal high BP it's 138
it was 120 right now what happened this is called white collar hypertension the
mind believes I am going to the hospital there's something wrong with my body and
the belief actually creates the illness so this is the remembered illness and
then there is remembered wellness what is remembered wellness you have throat
infection and you get an appointment with the doctor you go to meet the
doctor and you see I'm having a cough and I'm having an itch the doctor says
open your mouth and show me the symptoms you open your mouth and suddenly the
symptoms have disappeared in front of the doctor they have disappeared why
subconsciously not consciously with him the mind was believing that I am going
to the doctor I will be all right and the consequence the body responded to
the belief and the symptoms disappeared so these phenomena are very known in the
medical field to the extent that schizophrenic
patients have been studied schizophrenic patients are people with split
personalities their mind was subjugated to so much pressure that it's split into
two personalities sometimes they believe they are this and then sometimes
internally they transform and they believe they are this now this
particular patient in his dual personality in one personality he
believed he had diabetes and when he would live through that personality his
sugar count would actually go up and then when he would change back to the
other personality the sugar count would also go down that is the impact of
beliefs upon us so beliefs are so vital to our life they practically determine
the direction we will take
