13 No Freewill Your Freewill

From the foregoing tabulation we find that Subconscious Mind is more Rigidand not under your own control. The Sub Conscious Mind rather controls themost of your actions.

You are not Responsible for your Thoughts!

All your thoughts arise from your Sub Conscious Mind and you can never

know what is your next Thought. Thoughts arise like a flash. The next thoughtalways arise involuntarily, even without your concurrence. To verify this, dothe following. Look attentively inside you. Look at your Mind. Now watch forthe next thought. As long as you are aware of your own inner self, no thoughtswill arise. All thoughts arise unconsciously. No thoughts can arise consciously.The conscious mind can at the maximum want and set the direction for thesub conscious mind to produce the next thought. But, all thoughts ariseautomatically and involuntarily.

You are not responsible for your thoughts, but you areresponsible for your Actions

Even though you are not responsible for the thoughts that arise in you, sinceall actions have greater implications on you as well as on society, you can notevade responsibility for your actions. All actions yield a Sweet Fruit or a BitterFruit. Ultimately everybody is responsible for their actions speech and actions.One should always exercise caution while acting, taking care to see that oneis not fooled by the Subconscious Mind. The subconscious mind always

justifies all its actions even though they may not be agreeable to the

established norms and rules of the land. This is the reason for most of therampant chaos like wars, conflicts, communal disorder, thefts, robbery, rivalry,family feuds etc in the society.

thought. By harboring the Jealous thoughts, you aggravate its life. Byabhorring the Jealous thought also you are feeding it to grow more in adifferent style. Both, Harboring as well as Abhorring are wrong. Simply,when the Jealous thoughts arise, just dont give any importance to theJealous Thought. Allow the thought to rise and it will automatically fadein few seconds, unless otherwise you Harbor it, or Abhor it. ThisTechnique is somewhat like, when a Street Dog Barks at you, youneither try to run away from it, nor fight against it. You simple ignore thestreet dog. The dog will automatically tone down its barking andbecome quiet.

2. There is no Right Thought or Wrong Thought. Simply they are Thoughtsproduced by Subconscious Mind. The subconscious mind does not

know to differentiate Good and Bad. Dont give too much Life to themunless otherwise it is extremely essential like creativity, innovation,discovery, problem solving etc. For example if you have lost a hugesum in Business or Stock Market, this loss pesters you often andmay hamper all your actions. Dont try to avoid such thoughts. Simplyignore them by focusing on some other pleasant activities like Music orMovies etc. This way you are not giving life to the passing thought.

3. All Thoughts have to pass and not stagnate. All stagnations are bad. It

is wise if you let everything pass. A stagnated pond becomes filthy. Amoving river cleans itself. Allow your Thoughts to flow rather than tostagnate. Many persons always do action replay of their past. They willreplay the past failures and rewind it and replay it again and again. It iswise to move on, by simply absorbing the essence that is learnt withoutstagnating for long.

Never Mind your Mind.Diligently allow unwanted thoughts to flow like a passing Cloud

Reacting to them will only strengthen them

4. Never Mind your Mind. For every action, your mind creates somereaction. Please do not create any Reaction to the Reaction. This willonly worsen the mind. For example, you think you are a total failure inyour career. This is the Reaction. If such a thought comes watch it and

allow it to flow like a passing cloud. Instead, if you keep on thinking , "Iam useless, worthless, etc," you are creating additional reactions to areaction. By doing this, instead of solving the problem, you give life to adying thought. Let the thought arise and fade. If you dont pay attention,the life of each thought is few seconds only. We simply pour more oil, inthe burning fire and aggravate it and finally curse your own inability.This in no way will enable you to solve your problems. Rather takesome positive and concrete actions, which will solve your problems.Just take a paper and pen. Define your problem. List out the solutions,Discuss with your friends. Go to Temple. Pray God. Listen to Music. Go

for a walk. These are wise decisions. Children's have enlightened Mind.They don't hang on to the same issue for a long time.

to flow is a Liberated and Enlightened Mind.
