________________ the body becomes a temple. He uses words, mind, and senses to produce beautiful music. Every hour of the day there will be music if one is aware of one's soul. When you are connected with your soul, bad thoughts and negative feelings won't arise. Your soul will rebuke you and tell you something is wrong. When you get that kind of advice, you won't think of doing the same thing again. Your soul is your best friend. A spiritual person is always aware of his thinking. Worthless thoughts are not part of the composition of his life. Being in tune with everything, we can make our life a garden. We cannot live without thoughts, but we must be selective. If you want to make a beautiful garden, you have to select seeds, flowers, and bushes and arrange them thoughtfully. In the same way, let your mind select the thoughts you want. Once someone told me he did not have control over his thoughts. I asked him if he owned his brain or someone else's brain. If it is your apartment, do any worthless people enter without your permission? If it is your brain, how can unwanted thoughts come into your head without your permission? Friends, you have to realize this. Tell yourself, "I will not let any thoughts come in without my permission because I am the master of my mind, my brain." To question every thought that comes to your mind requires complete awareness, and to be aware, you must exist in the present. If you are not in the present, unwanted thoughts will come in. 25
