Unobtrusively, we start to become what our
thoughts are made up of. At first, we are taught to think like our parents. We
imbibe our environment. Everyday actions we see around us speak of the thoughts
that inspired the actions. And we emulate and emulate.
Later, when we see ourselves from the eyes
of others, we realize that we must look onwards into our thought patterns which
are seen by people in our speech and action. You cannot separate the people
from their thoughts.
Depressing thoughts! Thoughts of envy and
sadness or happy thoughts, thoughts of love and goodness. Every thought will
manifest if given importance.
We foster the thought and then it festers.
That's it! Many such festering thoughts create who we are.
So, think before you think! Meditate on
what you think before you give the thoughts the pride of place within your
mind, because they may enslave you. And what will that make you? A slave to
your thoughts instead of the master who has command over them.
