Articles: Devotion | Keep bad thoughts out
- Mr. Siva Sankar Donepudi
| |
Then you must keep a private secretary, so when anger starts, he says, 'Look master, anger is starting!' Since you cannot know when this anger will start, you must have three for shifts, around the clock! If you cannot afford that, anger rises. As soon as you close your eyes and try to observe it, the object of anger come to mind. Then you are not observing anger. You are merely observing external stimulus. This will multiply anger. It is difficult to observe negativity or emotion, divorced from the object which caused it. However, one who reached truth found a solution. He discovered when defilement arises, two things happen. Breath loses normal rhythm.
At a subtler level, biochemical reactions start. Every defilement generates one sensation or another in different parts of the body. An ordinary person cannot observe abstract mental defilements, but with practice, it is easy to observe respiration and bodily sensations which relate to it.
