In Great Indian epic, Mahabarata, author Acharya Vyasa gives us an idea about positive thinking. In this epic, Five Pandavas are heroes (because of the sort of mind they possess) while Gauravas where villains (because of the sort of mind they posses), however, both Pandavas and Gauravas where cousins. Yudhisthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva were the five Pandavas while Gauravas were hundred in number with Duruyodana as elder brother. During their younger age, Gauravas and Pandavas got their education from Dronacharya in his hermitage.
One day, Dronacharya requested Arjuna (smartest of the pandavas) and Duruyodana to identify one noble person in nearby village. After a week, Duruyodana returned stating that he was unable to identify any virtuous personality in the village. However, Arjuna returned with saying that he identified so many good men that it was difficult for him to specify.
Power of positive thinking can be asset to one, who practises it. Sub-conscious mind is the one which initiates creativity, empowers will-power, habit formation, etc. Our sub-conscious mind is so powerful than our conscious mind. Sub-conscious mind has a peculiar property of accepting, whatever we add to it, without reasoning, unlike conscious mind. So, when we make a commitment of practising positive thinking everywhere, every instance, then this becomes a habit and remains with us without our conscious effort.
