Nothing Sells Like Fear

Normally I don’t read newspaper and see news. But today I got hold of a newspaper and went through it. As soon as I read it, I regretted my decision to read it. All the news were negative, reading the news paper gives an impression that our country and even world is falling apart, it is days away from total catastrophic events that will wipe out every thing. Not one news I read was about some good or selfless act done. It is probably because such news doesn’t attract attention of reader, it is only news which spread fear and panic that attracts attention of readers mind. People who sell news know  this fact very well.

I have seen that most of discussion or should I say casual chit chat that people have is also about these kind of negative fear generating news. Even in social media groups, the most hot topics discussed are about negative and fear generating news. 

For a seeker or a sadhak to indulgence in such news can have a very negative effect. For mind works on simple gigo principal that is garbage in garbage out. What ever we see and hear leaves an impression in our mind, even when we are not listening to it actively.  

Therefore be very cautious about what you are putting in your mind for that will shape you thinking pattern.
