Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 We become what we contemplate. By constant thought, an ideal becomes implanted in the heart. If we fix our thoughts all the time on the evil that others do, our mind becomes polluted by the evil. When, on the contrary, we fix our mind on the virtues and well-being of others, our mind is cleansed of wrong and entertains only good thoughts. No evil can penetrate the mind of a person totally given to love and compassion. The thoughts in which we indulge shape our nature; they shape ourselves as well as others. Even a thought that is momentary and trivial, will have an effect on the mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
