Mother, at times unpleasant thoughts come and disturb us. How can we get rid of them?
There are several methods. Generally – but it depends on people – generally the easiest way is to think of something else. That is, to concentrate one's attention upon something that has nothing to do with that thought, has no connection with that thought, like reading or some work generally something creative, some creative work… Those who have begun to control their thought can make a movement of rejection, push aside the thought as one would to a physical object. But that is more difficult and asks for a much greater mastery. If one can manage it, it is more active, in the sense that if you reject that movement, that thought, if you chase it off effectively and constantly or almost repeatedly, finally it does not come any more.
But in the other case, it can always return.
That makes two methods.
