Namaste Friends,
Recently my fiancee, Eleykaa, and I visited a beautiful sanctuary that our friend, Eve, owns called The Sacred Garden on Maui. We were admiring her large Buddha statue that sat prominently in her greenhouse where she sells plants to the public. I told her that it had the most serene presence I'd ever seen. She replied, "You're not going to believe it, but it manifested within 15 minutes of thinking the thought that I'd like to find a Buddha statue for the greenhouse." She went on to share the details of her amazing purchase of the statue, while driving with her sister on a rainy day. "It just goes to show you," she said, "that you'd better be careful with what you want, because you might just get it!"
Eve was describing the power of intention, or what is called agama karma in Sanskrit. 'Agama' means 'coming near, or approaching.' When we set an intention we are coming near to its manifestation.
The power of intention is based on the principle of 'like attracts like." Whatever we focus our mind on, we draw nearer to us. The Buddha said,
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
