Human beings have an extraordinary instrument at their disposal: they have been given thought; but they do not use it. Instead they are content with moaning about all the things they lack. You need beauty, poetry, silence, smiles, kind looks, kind words? Well, instead of complaining about the fact that people are not giving you these, you should come to realize that you can create them instantly through thought. You will say: 'But there's nothing; I can't see anything, I can't feel anything.' Of course, if you wait to see them materialized, it will probably take centuries. But they exist in the mental plane. And this is the reality you should hold on to. Imagine a hypnotist gives you a piece of paper, saying: 'Here is a rose. Smell it.' You will go into raptures over the wonderful fragrance of this rose. You have captured his thought, and his thought, together with the words he has used, has already created the rose in the subtle plane. He has succeeded in projecting your consciousness to the subtle plane and you are smelling the rose with your psychic sense of smell. So, why not use this method on yourself to extricate yourself from your negative states?
