Purifying Your Thoughts
make myself capable enough to imbibe the knowledge of dharma. I have to be like a clean bottle first, before putting any new thoughts and ideas. Do not indulge in reading loads of books without understanding a vie bit of it. Just read one line carefully and digest it properly.
A change in your thoughts and beliefs will set you on a path of progress towards your ultimate goal 'Moksha'. Unless this change occurs, how much ever you think you have progressed, sooner or later you will realize that you are back to square one.
Till you do not decide the right direction for yourself but keep running around aimlessly, you will not see positive results.
The message is clear - if we do not bring about changes in our old ways of thinking, then there is no room for new ideas.
Rather than reading 10 religious texts, just imbibe simple values and make them a way of life. With a clear head, we will be able to digest these few values and gain so much from them compared to reading the 10 texts, without purifying our thoughts first.
Always remember this!
