Do nothing with the body but relax; shut firm the mouth and
silent remain; empty your mind and think of nothing.
Like a hollow bamboo rest at ease with your body.
Giving not nor taking, put your mind at rest.
Thus practicing, in time you will reach buddhahood.

In order to attain a thing it is necessary that the mind should
fall in love with it, and be conscious of its existence, almost
to the exclusion of everything else. You must get in love with
the thing you wish to attain, just as much as you would if you
were to meet the girl or man you wished to marry.
I do not mean that you should become a monomaniac upon the
subject, and should lose all interest in everything else in the
world - that won't do, for the mind must have recreation and
change. But, I do mean that you must be so "set" upon the desired
thing that all else will seem of secondary importance. A man in
love may be pleasant to everyone else, and may go through the
duties and pleasures of life with good spirit, but underneath it
all he is humming to himself "Just One Girl;" and every one of
his actions is bent toward getting that girl, and making a
comfortable home for her. Do you see what I mean?
You must get in love with the thing you want, and you must get in
love with it in earnest - none of this latter-day flirting,
"on-today and off-tomorrow" sort of love, but the good
old-fashioned kind, that used to make it impossible for a young
man to get to sleep unless he took a walk around his best girl's
house, just to be sure it was still there. That's the real kind!
And the man or woman in search of success must make of that
desired thing his ruling passion - he must keep his mind on the
main chance. Success is jealous - that's why we speak of her as
feminine. She demands a man's whole affection, and if he begins
flirting with other fair charmers, she soon turns her back upon
him. If a man allows his strong interest in the main chance to be
sidetracked, he will be the loser.
Mental Force operates best when it is concentrated. You must give
to the desired thing your best and most earnest thought. Just as
the man who is thoroughly in love will think out plans and
schemes whereby he may please the fair one, so will the man who
is in love with his work or business give it his best thought,
and the result will be that a hundred and one plans will come
into his field of consciousness, many of which are very
important. The mind works on the subconscious plane, remember,
and almost always along the lines of the ruling passion or
desire. It will fix up things, and patch together plans and
schemes, and when you need them the most it will pop them into
your consciousness, and you will feel like hurrahing, just as if
you had received some valuable aid from outside.
But if you scatter your thought-force, the subconscious mind will
not know just how to please you, and the result is that you are
apt to be put off from this source of aid and assistance. Beside
this, you will miss the powerful result of concentrated thought
in the conscious working out of the details of your plans. And
then again the man whose mind is full of a dozen interests fails
to exert the attracting power that is manifested by the man of
the one ruling passion, and he fails to draw to him persons,
things, and results that will aid in the working out of his
plans, and will also fail to place himself in the current of
attraction whereby he is brought into contact with those who will
be glad to help him because of harmonious interests.
I have noticed, in my own affairs, that when I would allow myself
to be side-tracked by anything outside of my regular line of
work, it would be only a short time before my receipts dropped
off, and my business showed signs of a lack of vitality. Now,
many may say that this was because I left undone some things that
I would have done if my mind had been centered on the business.
This is true; but I have noticed like results in cases where
there was nothing to be done - cases in which the seed was sown,
and the crop was awaited. And in just such cases, as soon as I
directed my thought to the matter the seed began to sprout. I do
not man that I had to send out great mental waves with the idea
of affecting people - not a bit of it. I simply began to realize
what a good thing I had, and how much people wanted it, and how
glad they would be to know of it and all that sort of thing, and
lo! My thought seemed to vitalize the work, and the seed began to
sprout.
This is no mere fancy, for I have experienced it on several
occasions; I have spoken to many others on the subject, and I
find that our experiences tally perfectly. So don't get into the
habit of permitting these mental leaks. Keep your Desire fresh
and active, and let it get in its work without interference from
conflicting desires. Keep in love with the thing you wish to
attain - feed your fancy with it - see it as accomplished
already, but don't lose your interest. Keep your eye on the main
chance, and keep your one ruling passion strong and vigorous.
Don't be a mental polygamist - one mental love is all that a man
needs - that is, one at a time.
Some scientists have claimed that something that might as well be
called "Love" is at the bottom of the whole of life. They claim
that the love of the plant for water causes it to send forth its
roots until the loved thing is found. They say that the love of
the flower for the sun causes it to grow away from the dark
places, so that it may receive the light. The so-called "chemical
affinities" are really a form of love. And Desire is a
manifestation of this Universal Life Love. So I am not using a
mere figure of speech when I tell you that you must love the
thing you wish to attain.
Nothing but intense love will enable you to surmount the many
obstacles placed in your path. Nothing but that love will enable
you to bear the burdens of the task. The more Desire you have for
a thing, the more you Love it; and the more you Love it, the
greater will be the attractive force exerted toward its
attainment - both within yourself, and outside of you.
So love but one thing at a time - don't be a mental dilettante.
