DO NOT FORM THE CHAIN OF THOUGHTS

Lots of thoughts come and go in our mind. We should not form the chain of thoughts by joining the thoughts with our own passion and attachment ( રાગ ) for the preceding thought. Virtue of equanimity naturally develops in one who lets the thought go by without intervening. Without doing any other kind of sadhana soul can experience true self by refraining from forming this chain of successive thoughts.

My two cents --

To be successful one needs to reduce passion and attachments to one's own thoughts and emotions. Then only this is possible. Nam-smaran is a very useful tool.
