Question: If one has a negative thought or even any thought in meditation what should one do with those thoughts because you said it is not good to suppress the thoughts because that thing will come back. So what should one do?
Babaji:
If you simply watch and do not analyze. You know mind has a tendency to analyze so with its imagination only it thinks that this is a negative, this is positive, this is good, this is bad. So if you simply watch at that moment and do not allow the mind to start analyzing or start thinking. Then such a thought gets evaporated it will get sublimated, it would not get suppressed. That is how the meditation is a cleansing process. It cleanses all the mind's acquired habits. It will be a very silky thread of difference.
It is quite difficult to understand when the thought occurs the mind recognizes and analyzes. Both appear as the same but there is a difference. A thought appearing and you start thinking that this is a negative thought. Just like even in bhakti marga also it is taught that God is everywhere when God is everywhere where is the question of anything that is positive or negative? While practicing meditation you have to consider like that. And then the mind is able to remain quiet. While we try to recommend these things, while you are alive in this world it is a different thing. You might deal with the good things as good, bad things as bad, positive as positive, negative as negative. But while trying to meditate you are trying to raise this mind about the dualities of good and bad. So even if it is a negative thought you do not think that it is negative. It is not your botheration and it is not your fault also that the thought is coming. It is simply going out. So just keep quiet and watch them that is enough.
