INO Glossary: Think
In the International Nath Order, Think represents a deliberate approach to engaging with the people, things, and ideas that shape our lives. This method emphasizes clear perception and deep understanding to guide effective decision-making and action.
Foundation of Clarity
A calm, clear mind is essential for the Think process. By perceiving people, things, and ideas as they truly are, practitioners gain insight into their nature and context. This clarity reveals the dynamics of a situation and one’s position within it, forming the basis for determining the best present and future actions.
Role of Meditation and Yoga
Meditation and Yoga significantly enhance the Think process. These practices cultivate mental stillness and focus, enabling practitioners to see all facets of a situation clearly. Such awareness empowers the creation of innovative solutions and strategic alternatives for future outcomes.
Advanced Application for Adepts
For Adepts of the International Nath Order, Think extends into higher dimensions of consciousness. By activating the triad of Iccha (Will), Jnana (Knowledge), and Kriya (Action) Shakti, practitioners can effect change and transformation aligned with their intentions. This advanced form of thinking relies on precise recognition of the present and skillful manipulation to achieve desired results.
The Think Triad
A fundamental expression of the Think process is encapsulated in the sequence: Think, Decide, Act. This triad guides practitioners from contemplation to resolution to implementation, ensuring purposeful and effective engagement with life’s challenges.
