If we have true understanding, we should replace the contra wise thoughts with the thoughts compatible with that understanding. This needs to be done with determination. Then only the force of other thoughts will decrease. When a thought is observed we need to evaluate it with equanimity and decide whether it is constructive or negative. If negative according to our appropriate understanding then we should fight to remove that thought. We must prove the impropriety of that thought and prepare a response with a proper thought that would quieten the mind. These thoughts need to be developed from our proper understanding and aim of our lives. If we feel like a capsized vessel being thrown around in the ocean, then know and believe that we have not developed that kind of determination to improve our thoughts. The direction and the state of the determined person is extraordinary. There is one Bhajan " My beloved God lives in the palace of determination". It is not possible to do any concrete work in ordinary life or divine life without firm and urgent determination in life.
