Get rid of Negative thoughts and Anger


Don't be attached, Don't harbor any resentment.  This is an imperfect place. We are all imperfect.

There are all kind of people in this world. No matter how good you are , there might be people who do bad to you.

Mind is such a thing, which can run from the focus. I will go to the past and the future. 

Cut out the lamentation, get the mind back. Similarly the mind runs away in resentment. It happens in attachment and hatred. To free you mind, both of this have to be released. 

Story:

A dog used to live in Allahabad, and another in Mangad Ashram.  Dog in Allahabad was used to eating fancy food, while the dog from Mangad, was used to eating the left overs from the devotees. 

Decided to travel 60Kms - 12 kms per day - to be finished in 5 days.

But at each destination, when they tried to rest, the dogs in that locality, did not let them rest. Result is they kept walking, and ended up the planned journey for 5 days, in 2 days. 

Don't spoil your mind, because of others.

Complete the journey; don't allow the world to disturb us.

It's need efforts to rid our mind of .....and engage in good thoughts to find the divine treasure. 

Negative Thoughts and feelings - How do you control?

In the subconscious mind, the very thought is rotating which you don't want to think. You have to get rid it off from consciousness. Separation wont work.

Teachings of Buddha were, 'You should purify your mind'. 

Milerepa Story.  A man came and asked him for Sid Mantra. 

He said he did not have any mantra. But the man would not leave him. 

So he told him, chat 'Aum' but one condition don't think of monkeys. 

He was happy and returns. One part of brain chanted 'Aum' and the second part of brain kept chanting 'Don't think of monkeys'. 

The more he tried to get rid of the thought, the more mind was thinking of monkey, and he was seeing monkeys all around and always. 

He went back to Milerepa, and said, please take back the mantra, but I don't want to think of monkeys. 

The Irony of Effects Theory. You try to avoid something, you will get attracted to it, more and more. 

If you say give up Resentment or attachment, it will grow more.

How do we control? The concept of suppression will not work.

Only way to get rid of desire is to get devotion or divine bless.  

To give up negative thoughts, increase your love of God.
