We should not think about preferences, expectations or desires about or regarding others. It is proven that the waves of the sound spread in the atmosphere, likewise there are waves of thoughts and it also spreads in the atmosphere. Our thought waves of expectations, preferences and desires mixes with the thoughts of innumerable people's expectations, preferences and desires in the atmosphere. This not only increases their desires etc, but all these cumulative thoughts are also reflected within us because we have become a center in the atmosphere by having such thoughts. Examining from the other viewpoint our thoughts of (money, prestige, enjoyments etc,) are inert and it can not be the center by itself since it can not think about these things by itself. Since the thought waves of desires etc, are not accepted, it returns to us with greater force. Once we have created the thought waves of preferences, expectations and desires, it will keep on increasing and will be a great hindrance to us. For this reason sadhak should not develop or encourage preferences, expectations and desires within him.
