The greatest birthday gift, I got ever, was this message I got from Ambika
Controlling thoughts is not in your hands
Realize that, you are not in control of your thoughts, they just keep coming in ( unless of course you are a zen monk, who could control every single thought ) The point is, you don’t have to identify yourself with the thoughts. You do not have to be defined by your thoughts.
And the most important thing is, those thoughts don’t have to become actions.
Action is in your hands
Choosing to do or not do something is IN YOUR HANDS. Think about your parents, your moral compass and that will give you control over your actions. Or else, you will be like a plastic bag drifting in the wind. Take control over your life, your emotion, be a new being, no more enslaved by carnal desires.
You may be wondering what you achieve by denying yourself a little happiness, by doing those actions. But think about this, you are losing yourself. Why would anyone want to do such a suicide? Don’t fall victim to your insatiable desires. There might be alternatives.
God bless.Salute to you, my friend, for letting me know about this.
