.....You don’t need to sit down to control it. When the thought is passing
through your mind, you know about the thought. You know whether it is positive
or negative. So if it is positive, it will be constructive – feed it, then let
it grow! But when it is negative, try not to feed it. Then you say to yourself,
“This is not me.” And let go of it. When you let go of the thought, you will
see how beautiful your own life is, and how great this life is that God has
given us. Also in your meditation will be easier. For the powerful thoughts are
the positivism in human beings. Through thoughts, whatever you wish for
yourself, whatever you think about, you will receive it. Thought is the willpower of
man. It’s the way that you use to realise the Divine. All spirituality starts
here – in the mind. Then it reaches the heart. You use thought to open the
heart. And to this thought of the heart – you may want to call it the voice of
God – you will learn to listen to it without any doubts. When-ever you will sit
in meditation, you will feel that deep bliss, and the consciousness that you
are Divine will always be with you. Whatever you are doing, wherever you are,
you will have the consciousness that the Divine is with you. So there are different
ways of controlling thought. I told you to stop it the moment you know it is
negative. The next is to sing the name of God, to keep reciting it. God has
taken a lot of forms, and in each form there is the energy for man to transcend
from mere human to Divine. So as long you have not mastered the mind, you use
namasmarana. Sing the name of God wherever you are. And when you sing, don’t
close your eyes, leave them open. You see, when you close your eyes, you start thinking
and you say, “Oh, I’m singing the name of God.” Yes, but the thinking is still
here. Still the mind is jumping like a monkey. Leave them open. If you don’t
want to focus on a form, concentrate on a white wall. Focus on it! There are also different asanas
to control the thought. One which is well used is the tree asana, where you
stand on one leg. The other one lifts up completely to the maximum, with your
hand upright and focusing also on a picture or on the white wall. This helps a
lot to control the mind. You will see by doing this, you will experience how
imbalanced the human being is sometimes. When the thought is pure, one will
reflect also this purity. Wherever you are, this love will always flow. And
people will see – I think I said it last time – you reflect Divinity. Not with
the egoistic way, but with the love. So there will be no misery if you reflect
the light of God. See, our own mind is
responsible for all the misery that you see outside. If the mind, the thoughts
you have are pure, there will not be such misery. In this world humans think
that they are just human and they enjoy being human. Very often they forget
that behind this human form there is also Divinity. And to reach this, they
should not have fear. It is your true nature... what you really are. You just
need to want it sincerely. Want it sincerely for your own self! Then from
inside to outside it’ll reflect.
