We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha
I am sure you value your properties such as your house, your garden, your car etc. Other people could visit and use your properties and I am sure you won’t like anyone to misuse your property. And when they visit and use it, you want them to treat your property with care and respect. If you own a house which is occupied by a tenant, you would like to be paid a reasonable rent.
If someone visits and occupies your property and causes damage, I am sure you will ask them to vacate, forcibly if required.
Your most valuable property which you should treat with sacred and respect is your mind! This property decides the quality of your life. That is it is called ‘intellectual property’.
Your thoughts are the visitors who visit this valuable property. All the points I mentioned above with respect to visitors who visit your other properties also apply to this valuable property of yours!
Be conscious about the type of thoughts which enter your mind. Ensure that they enter your mind only with your permission. Ensure to send out such thoughts which will not enhance the quality of your mind!
Over this weekend, can you ‘audit’ the type of visitors who occupied your mind?
