It is very desirable if there is no reaction to any kind of circumstances and spoken words in us. In case if these reactions develop, we should not get one with it. We should constantly strive to develop enough equanimity and stability in us so that there is understanding of the root cause of these reactions. Moreover we must have instant comprehension to turn these reactions to constructive help without being guided by our natural tendencies, thoughts or mind.
We have to use our will power over our natural tendencies, thoughts and desires. When used with determination and firmness our will power gets sharpened. With experience we will know that its strength is lot more than our natural tendencies, thoughts and desires. These experiences will inspire us to use this will power in our daily life.
We should not try to stop strong thoughts with equal or more force. These strong thoughts may stop for a while but that will not help us in our real work. We should try to understand its root cause. This can be done by going deep into the reasons and observing it. We need to do all these and also make sure that naam-smaran is carried out at the same time. This requires great patience, force, strength and sense of purpose.
