THOUGHT-CULTURE

Swami Sivananda

Desire, thought and action are inter-related. Substitute mundane desires by holy aspiration. It is thought that moves the body to action. There is thought behind every action and if you entertain bad thoughts, you will do bad actions eventually. Therefore, take care of your thoughts first. Learn to become wise by discrimination and controlling the thoughts and desires. Watch your thoughts carefully and do not allow any evil thought to enter the gates of the mind. If it manages to enter, push it out by substituting a positive thought. In the beginning, when you sit for meditation, evil thoughts will enter your mind because of the pressure of Samskaras, but do not use your will in driving them out. You will lose your energy. The greater the efforts you make, the more the evil thoughts will return with redoubled force. You should try to be indifferent to them and concentrate on divine thoughts. Thus alone can you overcome evil thoughts.

As butter is present in milk, fire is present in wood, oil is present hidden in seed, God is present within you. To experience Him is to cross beyond all sorrow and attain to a state of Supreme Joy.

- Swami Chidananda
