A Person's Mind

A person's mind may make him or her an enlightened one or a beast. Both are possible. Misled by error, one becomes a demon. Therefore you must control the thoughts running through your mind if you want to stay on the "Noble Path" to altruism and enlightenment.

The way to control the mind is through meditation and rigor. If you are plagued by bad or depressive thoughts, you must do one of two things. You must meditate or think other thoughts to push them out.

If they are still persistent, you must distract yourself, either with physical exercise or some other means that makes you stop thinking about negative things.

If you keep thinking about negative things, it creates neural nets and becomes a habit. Negativity is an incredibly bad habit to have. It detracts from personal harmony and bliss.

Your mind is your own canvas, and you must paint the pictures of the highest possible perfection on that canvas, because that canvas becomes you and is you.
