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.
