You are much greater than you think yourself to be. You are the active, manifested power of the un-manifested. Apparently inactive God.
What is Unmanifest?
Unmanifest means, not perceptible to the sense organs, mind, intellect, and ego. But directly perceptible to the Pure Consciousness, in the deep meditation or Samadhi State of the original and classical Kriya Yoga. The Yoga scriptures say,
yogabhir dhyana gamyam
PERCEIVED IN THE STATE OF MEDITATION
This is Yoga. As long as the mind doesn’t attain the State of Samleena Manasa, one can’t attain Yoga or Unity with Divinity. Thoughts are controlled and withdrawn from external and internal nature and merged in their Source, i.e. the Mind. The mind is absorbed in the Vritti Nirodha Chitta, i.e. Pure Consciousness without any waves, ripples, or modifications. Everything, both success, and failure, Divinity or animality, Yoga or non-attainment of Yoga, depends on the state, condition, and quality of your own mind. In the yoga scriptures, it is mentioned,
मन एव मनुष्याणां कारणं बन्धमोक्षयोः
BRAHMABINDU UPANISHAD
mana eba manusyanam karanam bandhamokhsyayo
English Translation:
In human beings, the mind and thoughts are the cause of liberation, Self Realization, or spirituality. It is also the cause of bondage, stress, suffering, and ignorance of one’s own Divinity.

Secrets of Success – Swami Vivekananda
You have to be extremely and fanatically positive in your attitude and outlook. Remove the words impossible and can’t be done from your dictionary. Your thoughts may say, Impossible !, please don’t believe it. Believe in the magnificence of your Soul. Have faith in your own Divinity. The whole world may say impossible, don’t believe it. You are the Soul. You are Infinite Power of All-Pervading Omnipresent., Omniscient, Omnipotent God, The Creator. He has created and has been creating countless numbers of such Worlds, even larger Worlds. In the blink of an eye, countless Worlds come into existence and the countless number of Worlds vanish into non-existence. Such is the Glory of your Soul, the Real you, the Inner you, and the Power of God. As you think so you become. Don’t entertain unworthy and negative thoughts. Jealousy, anger, vindictiveness, fear, greed, and intolerance should be avoided like a deadly poison. See and feel God’s presence in yourself and in all beings, everywhere. Daily practice the original classical Kriya Yoga. It will be of indescribable help in your progress.
