Silence Speaks
DISTRACTING THOUGHTS
Treat unwanted ideas as uninvited guests and be unmindful of them so that they wither away. To reach the infinite absolute is one of the primary duties of man. But so long as the goal is not fixed in one's thought it is very difficult to keep and complete the journey successfully. The Divine help does come, no doubt, but only when the Supreme is convinced of the devotee's earnestness of purpose. If we are able to do everything in life thinking it to be our duty, it shall be a sacred trust from the Supreme Master. The downward tendency of thought indicates that one has descended to a lower plane, assuming a grosser form. In such a case it is quite essential for him to get himself attached to one of his fellow-beings with faith and devotion, so that his downward tendency may be mended by his influence. This will relieve him of all distracting thoughts.
