Dear sister and brother,
When we think contrariwise about others we plant the seeds of that vrutti (tendency, inclination) within us. Not only that, we throw that particular bhavna of contrariwise thoughts towards that person and express ourselves in that format within that person. Just as this happens in our daily lives, it is also true regarding our subtle thoughts. If we offer our thoughts, daily workings and other actions with the spirit of offering and surrender, our sentient nature (જીવ સ્વભાવ) from all these will be removed and we will not have the ego behind these actions - just as the manager of the business takes actions for the owner of the business and not affected by the gain or the loss. We are really influenced by our thoughts and works. It is best if there are no thoughts but it is not good for the persons with tamas prakruti ( lazy nature, તમસ પ્રકૃતિ). Persons with rajas prakruti (active nature, રજસ પ્રકૃતિ) will continue to have thoughts. There is stability and unwavering in the thoughts of persons with satvic nature (peaceful and virtuous, સાત્વિક પ્રકૃતિ). Since our thoughts shape us it is very important to have the thoughts directed inwards and absorbed towards fulfillment of our purpose. I have mentioned many times earlier to never form the chain of thoughts. Repetition of the same does not matter as this needs repeated reminders to continue the practice. We must continue this practice of not forming the chain of thoughts.
