Dear Kanakbhai,
The other side of a coin.
Whenever we get an “Instruction” starting with words “Don’t … ” it gives negative stroke to themindset.
and creates one more question.
for an example –
Don’t park YOUR cars here.
—- I will begin looking for an answer to ” Where am I to park my car ? ”
secondly –
the word “Don’t” triggers temptation. and it does not answer “HOW”
an another example –
‘Don’t compare your life to others’. – and it does not answer “HOW” !!!
I do compare my self with Vivekanandji, Gandhiji, Rajkapoor, Amitabh, Bin Laden, Dawood …… some / few others who live around me. And if I dont have to compare – let me know HOW can I refrain from and how can I stop thinking of it.
I feel there is NO WAY to STOP mental process. Except learning to witness it without acceptance / rejection.
Your views will help me know the third dimenssion.
with best regards,
AKHIL sutaria
