Conquest of evil thought

-
Although to think good is a simple task, we tend to avoid it. The reason for it is quite simple: we have fallen into a habit of thinking evil instead of thinking good. If an orchard is covered with weeds, good fruit-bearing plants do not get any chance to flourish. But if the cultivator is wide-awake and smart enough, he will dig out all those weeds and throw them away. Because the orchard of our mind is covered with evil thoughts, good thoughts are unable to find room for growth.

Under the circumstances, our task is to get rid of the rank growth of weeds so that good thoughts may get a chance to strike root and grow luxuriantly. the roots of big trees lie deep, whereas weeds have superficial roots. We may liken evil thoughts to weeds and good thoughts to fruit-bearing trees.

As Lord Krishna has said in "The Gita", "Sin is like a piece of dry wood and knowledge is like fire". Wood maybe huge in quantity and the flame may be small in size. But the flame has the power to reduce the whole faggot to ashes. Similarly though small in quantity good thoughts have the potential to destroy evil thoughts, no matter how deep they are rooted they are and how long since they have been accumulating. Masters of scriptures have sung the praise of good thoughts. Bad thoughts maybe many in number and good thoughts may be few and far between. Even then good thoughts gain in strength from day to day and in the end good thoughts prevail over evil thoughts. Recitation of five-syllabic, six-syllabic, twelve syllabic and other holy formula have freed man from grave sins. For example, a man may have spent almost all his life thinking evil, but he will earn merit if he sincerely thinks good at some time towards the end of his life. that is to say although yo have spent most of your life. That is to say although you have spent most of your life harboring evil thoughts you need not to lose all hope asking yourself what will be the use of  thinking good so late in life. Good  thoughts are stronger than evil thoughts. Good thoughts should be put into practice in word, deed and thought. You must be absorbed in them and your only motive should be love. Evil thoughts should not be allowed to peep in that state of absorption even for a second. It is, however; important to know what kind of thoughts are uppermost in the minds of the most of the people of today.

When the brain is engaged in the thought- process it leads to the increment of same kind of natural randhras (pores) in its gross part.When we dissect the human body after death, we find that if it is that of an intellectual person, the brain is larger and has more grooves than that of ordinary people. The greater the number of grooves, the wider the size of the adipose tissue which lies close to the thought-process. Similarly, the gross part of the body and the brain can be increased in size by means of physical exercise. Hence, those who wish to improve and develop them should exercise the thought process on a daily basis. This will also lead to the rapid improvement of other natural processes, producing corresponding betterment in our physical and mental development at greater speed and with more effect.This process should follow a definite course. Once it has run its full course, our mental faculty will be improved to such an extent that our ability to deal with ordinary question

Mutual influence of the brain

When waves of love, protest, praise or contempt are released from one's brain, they have their impact on the brains of others producing similar emotions. If you love someone his response will be similar. It acts both ways.The sentiments arising in you will produce similar sentiments in others and vice- versa. Mind is closely related to the brain.The hollow inside the brain is a primary source of thought. The brain-sky is a part of the all, embracing greater sky. When thoughts or wishes take shape in the brain-sky, they travel towards the greater sky by means of air. Or the subtle waves of will-power will move out of the confining curtain of the brain and they will spread out in the greater sky at a fast pace, if they are strong. If they are weak or feeble, they will just manage to penetrate the brain Curtain and get lost after traveling a short distance.

Factors causing the weakness of the brain

Improper foods, polluted air, dirty clothes, unwashed body excessive thinking, and intake of alcoholic beverages, tight dresses, and tight shoes put pressure on the brain. Excessive physics excercise and total absentation from physical exercise both cause harm to the brain. To live in the midst of alarm and to assume a wrong posture while reading in something that harms the brain very much. Similarly if you do physical exercise while you are hungry and if you read, write or meditate deeply immediately after a heavy meal, it will cause damage to your brain and stomach because stomach attracts blood for digestive purpose and brain attracts blood towards it for mental activities. In case the thing we should remember is that no intellectual excertion should follow immediately after meal. In the same way meat, sour and pungent things, dry cereals, stale and rotten grains, slow digestible foods, opium, cannabis and other toxic drugs, alcoholic drinks like toddy, tobacco, excessive sexual
