Always remember … that a thought is merely the experience of many factors and fleeting circumstances coming together.
.
.
Whether the thought is good or bad, it has no true existence.
.
.
As soon as a thought arises, if you recognize its void nature, it will be powerless to produce a second thought, and the chain of delusion will cease there and then.
.
.
As we have said, this does not mean that you should try to suppress the natural creativity of your mind, or that you should try to stop each thought with a particular antidote.
.
.
It is enough simply to recognize the emptiness of thoughts and to then let them rest in the relaxed mind.
.
.
The innate nature of mind, pristine and unchanging, will then remain vivid and stable.
