Renaissance Universal Talk – Concentrated Thinking

June 28, 2022

It was memorable for RU Club Bangalore Chapter day for getting an opportunity to present a topic of Renaissance universal about “Introduction to Concentrated thinking” at St. Aloysius Degree College, Cox Town, Bangalore. Undergraduates, students of Arts, Commerce, and social work, Teaching staff, and Respected Principal Dr. Sr. Sagaya Mary B attended the session.

As keynote speaker Acarya Gatimayananda Avadhuta, RU Secretary Berlin Sector presented the thoughts of our preceptor Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar on the given topic. The concentrated thinking was to limelight the ideas in an elaborate way to explain about the mind.

The mind has two functions, Thinking and Memorizing. Mind is a collection of ectoplasmic stuff. What has been done in the past say 10 years ago remains stored in the mind, this is memory. A person who has a desire to hit someone or desire to steal, but never actually does it due to one’s self-control. A person who has such complete control over the mind can externalize internal ideas more vigorously than a normal person.

By practicing regularly this “Abhidhyan”, one can develop the mind to transcend from imperfection to perfection with concentrated thinking. And the practitioner who performs regularly can overcome all the defects in the psychic realm and control the defects of glands, nerves, nerve fibers, and other physical deficiencies. Lastly, students had a session of contemplation with all the participants presents
