Right Thinking (continued)


In this world of dualities (heat and cold, pain and pleasure, happiness and sorrow, etc) right thinking alone helps us to distinguish the trivial from the vital, good from evil, right from wrong, real from unreal – and make the right choices. Your life is a sum total of the choices that you make. Right choices alone lead to peace and happiness. There is no problem, which cannot be solved by right thinking. Right thinking prevents confusion - and enhances clarity.

Right thinking is not only efficient but it is also effective. Efficiency is doing a thing right. Effectiveness is doing the right thing. Thinking right is good; it is good for you as well as for others around you. In fact, thinking right is the most important thing in every life; it is more important than we ever understand or realize; it is of the highest priority for every person. The bottom line is that thinking right leads to optimism, enthusiasm, delight, joy, peace and happiness. It is easy to control the right thinking mind – especially, during meditation.

The next thought is on “Purity of mind”.
