You can create or you can destroy. It’s upon to each one of you how to control it. So the first thing in spirituality, the first, the best thing you can do is to control the thought. The more the thought is negative it reflect outside. Very often these negative thought is about one own self – thinking how bad I am, how negative I am. First we have to change the thought of ourself. Then we can change the thought towards other people. Thought is very easy to control. You don’t need to sit down to control it. When the thought is passing through your mind you know about the thought. You know whether it is positive or negative. So if it is positive it will be constructive - feed it, then let it grow! But when it is negative try not to feed it. Then you say to yourself: “This is not me” and let go of it. When you let go of the thought you will see how beautiful it is - your own life. And how great is this life that God have given. And also in your meditataion you will be more easy going. The powerful thought is the positiveness in human being. Through this thought whatever you wish, whatever you think about - for your own self you will receive it.
