Acharya Prashant: ‘Law of attraction’, all such stuff is based on the premise that you know what is worthy enough to be attracted to. Who are you to know that? Do you really know that? And if you really knew that, would you really want to attract something? Wouldn't you know that the real thing is anyway not an object of attraction? If a drunkard were to use the law of attraction, what would he deem suitable to attract to himself? A huge truckload of beer. He would keep fantasizing of beer companies and such things. And maybe that materializes also, and if that materializes, it is even worse for the drunkard, is it not?
What do you want to come to you? That which anyway is your disease. Can you use the law of attraction to make God come to you? Can you use the law of attraction to make peace come to you? But you want to use the law of attraction to make a woman come to you, right? And probably you will succeed, and if you succeed, then your life will be hell. If you really knew love, if you were really in love with any woman, would you use the law of attraction, some kind of method, some wizardry, some totka to attract her? You get these kinds of advertisements in C-class newspapers: “Baba Ruhani—If you want to get a woman, you can go to Baba Ruhani, and he will do something that will make the woman crawl on all fours, like a cow, and come to you— vashikaran mantra.” Have you not heard of these things?
See, the thing is you remember only those instances when you dreamt of a biscuit and got a biscuit. Do you ever keep a log of the number of times when you think of biscuits and do not get biscuits? You, please, see how the ego selectively wants to remember only those occasions when imagination materializes, but the ego does not want to remember those occasions when the imagination does not materialize. Because if you do, indeed, impartially remember even those occasions, when the imagination fails, then you'll have to see how impotent imagination is, and you don't want to see that, so you selectively remember only one out of ten instances when the imagination succeeded in its objective. That one out of ten will anyway happen whether or not you imagine it.
