As a man thinks, so he is;
according to his thoughts
are his desires and acts,
and so results the future;
he ‘fixates’ for himself the resultant karma.
The word ‘Fixation’ is used here for two purposes:
First, because the word implies
the capacity of the ‘Thinker’ to shape his own future,
and secondly,
because the word implies a stabilising quality,
for as evolution progresses,
the ‘Thinker’ gradually evolves the faculty
of forming definite concrete thought-forms,
and through these stable products,
he is able to subdue
the fluctuations of the volatile emotional body
which keep the consciousness floundering
in the ups and downs of emotional dilemma.
