Sankalp Suddhi hee Siddhi

S S Mani (1978)

Manasaa, Vaachaa, Karmanaa

In Mind, In Words, In Action

Flows the sequence of thoughts

Thoughts to Words, Words to Deeds.

“There is nothing either good or bad,

But thinking makes it so”

Good thinking leads to Good Words

And Good Words lead to Good Deeds.

“Sankalp Suddhi hee Siddhi”

If Intentions are Good, bound to Succeed

Thoughts are ignited by Intentions

Good Intentions will ignite Good Thoughts.

Srushti, Sthithi, Samhaara

Generate, Operate, Destroy

Create and Maintain Good Thoughts

Destroy and Avoid Bad Thoughts.
