If we try and find the root causes of all forms of stress, we would find
that both *lazy* and *wrong* thinking lie behind various stressful emotions.
No one right from our childhood to when we are grown-ups puts this into our
heads that *we are each responsible for our own thoughts and
feelings.*Instead we are taught that others are responsible for what
we think and
feel. *No one teaches us 'how' to think.* *We are taught 'what' to think in
terms of knowledge of the world, but not how to shape our own thoughts and
feelings.
*In spirituality the self gets the required training to create positive and
powerful thoughts, thoughts:
1. which are connected to true spiritual knowledge of the self,
2. which are beneficial to your own spiritual well-being,
3. that inject positive energy in the form of happiness, love and enthusiasm
to those around you,
4. which are absolutely necessary in the context in which you find yourself,
5. which use all your subtle energies in an economical way,
6. which ensure that the result of any response you may create does not
result in stress.
When no one teaches us that any mental or emotional discomfort comes from
within our own consciousness, we also do not ever realize that any negative
state of being is unnatural and a sign that our consciousness is 'out of
shape'. The above thought training helps us to return our consciousness to
its true, natural and original shape.
