Use Sacred Thoughts to Destroy Dark Thoughts

When a person is filled with sacred thoughts all his actions will be sacred. His

words will also be sacred. Such sacred thoughts are like a sword or a sharp

knife. You can use sacred thoughts to search out dark thoughts, dark feelings

and dark actions, and cut them to pieces. On the other hand, if you take in

food that is not sanctified, dark feelings, dark actions and dark thoughts will

flourish. Not only this, but because of unwholesome food you will weaken the

body and lose the power of digestion, and suffer all sorts of bodily

discomforts.

In the Gita the Lord has emphasized that for worldly prosperity as well as for

developing the spiritual potential that is inherent in man, a strong and pure

body is essential. For this it is important that only wholesome food be

consumed and that it be sanctified by being offered to the Lord before it is

eaten.

Thoughts and the thought process constitute the very form of the mind. If

thoughts are turned towards the phenomenal world and the things related to it,

then these thought processes become concerned with wealth and property, for

these are the very basis of life in the phenomenal world. The word wealth

usually refers to your worldly possessions and attachments, such as money,

houses and land. Another form of wealth is your fame, your position and station

in life. But the Gita does not consider either possessions or status as your

real wealth. It declares that character is your wealth, good behavior is your

wealth, and above all, knowledge of the supreme self is your true wealth.
