Question: What should be our attitude towards thoughts in meditation? How do we deal with them?

Babaji:

Mind always does have a tendency to analyze the thoughts and thus recognizes them and in the process gets involved consciously. Analyzing means dualities, just like this is good, this is bad, this is right, this is wrong, why this, why not, and so on. Whereas analyzing and judging are necessary for the universal life, you have to abandon these to go towards enlightenment.

That any number of thoughts come is no problem. Just do not recognize, do not analyze, and don’t make any judgments as to what they are. Just watch as a witness. Very soon, thoughts will recede and the mind starts getting concentrated to go introvert. Thoughts that arise, first, are not your fault. They are the brain’s reflections, so just allow them to happen. The moment you sit for meditation, the mind chants out the brain and all the subconscious things that are recorded in the mind get evaporated through meditation. These are called ‘the acquired habits of the mind’. During this process, you experience thousands of thoughts arising. So just allow it to happen. Allow the evaporation process to happen and thus the mind gets purified, becomes introverted and recedes.
