• Dikkala dyana vacchinnananta cinmatra murtaye
• Svanu bhutye kamanaya namah santaya tejase
• Meaning: salutation to that infinite intelligence beyond
space and time which is pure consciousness and peace
embodied which can be ascertained (measure) only by
self-realisation (experience)
5. Infinite Intelligence is the force that
gives order and origin to everything in
the entire universe. It is one of the
foudamental source existence.
6. To achieve what you set the aim in your mind
to it requires two things.
First is you have to believe that Infinite
Intelligence is the fundamental source, the
cause of everything that comes into existence.
This includes you.Without that knowledge
you are unable to believe in your own
uncontrolled capacity for creative thought
and action.
7. •Second is daily self motivation of your
major life purpose.
•Knowing that your inherent connection
and oneness with the fundamental source
8. Infinite Intelligence and the Subconscious Mind
Regular daily motivations are required because the part of
your mind that communicates with and receives guidance
from Infinite Intelligence is your subconscious mind.
The way you teacher trains a student with repetition is the
same way you get your subconscious mind to accept and
adopt an idea.
Meditate upon your goal every day, and have absolute faith
and belief that it is already yours.
When you use this technique, you will over time establish a
direct connection to Infinite Intelligence via your
subconscious mind.
