4. In his book titled “POWER OF SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND” Dr Joseph Murphy says there is a treasure house within everybody. He adds: “your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body and knows the answers to all problems “ In initial pages author has given two examples; a young lady wanted an expensive purse. She got it somehow. Another example is of a widow of age 75; she wanted a nice husband to give her cosy company. After twenty days she met a person who was also looking for company. Author elaborates how to instruct the sub-conscious mind more systematically to achieve a desired result.
5. Upanishads and Bhagvat Gita recognise Bramhan as ultimate Reality. Further, our soul is a part of that Almighty. The Minuscule Ultimate Realty is actually within us and not outside.
