Psychological Wisdom and Reasons for Courage

 

Brooding over impure thoughts adds to their evil force. Do not become

a prey to these haunting dangerous thoughts. Entertain counter-

thoughts; good sublime thoughts of God and His Divine Glory. By japa,

fasting, charity and selfless service, you can easily destroy the

impurities of the complex mind. The evil thoughts, for lack of

attention and by the pressure of good thoughts, will die a natural

death. What was the state of Valmiki, Jagai, Madhai and Ajamila in the

beginning? Were they not rogues of the first waters? Where is the

cause for despair? Be sincere and make efforts.
