IX. Desire and Anger - The Twin Evils

Only when you can still your thoughts will you be able to overcome desires, and

only after you have controlled your desires will you be able to conquer anger.

Therefore, the first step in conquering desires and anger is to become free of

the thought process.

Embodiments of Love,

Stilling the mind is an essential practice for both devotees and ordinary

people, but, as has been taught in the Gita chapter on devotion, the calming of

all thoughts is especially important for devotees. Thoughts are charged with

energy and life. They can even be stronger than the strongest matter. You begin

thinking right from the moment of birth. The material making up your thoughts is

extremely subtle; it arises from the food you eat. Therefore, if you consume

food that has been sanctified you will get only sacred thoughts.
