Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thoughts of passion and lust, should be conquered by an earnest practice of Brahmacharya, by intense aspiration to realize the Truth, to know God, by meditating on the great advantages of purity. Thoughts of hatred and anger should be controlled by generating thoughts of love, forgiveness, mercy, friendliness, peace, patience and non-violence. Pride and thoughts connected with pride must be controlled by a systematic mental examination of the value of cultivating humility. Thoughts of greed, grabbing and possessiveness should be dispelled by pursuit of honesty, disinterestedness, generosity, contentment and non-covetousness. Nobility and magnanimity, complacency and greatness of heart, will help you get over all thoughts of narrowness, jealousy, meanness. Delusion and infatuation are best conquered by the development of discrimination. Vanity is overcome by a many-sided simplicity, arrogance by politeness.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Dear Mr Kumar, I agree with you on positive thoughts, but only as a beginning. In principle the mind must be open to God and he will use the mind for the right thougts. The Gita advises surrender to God totally.
