Meditation is to make your thoughts clean

Meditation is to make your thoughts clean, real, inclusive, beautiful, loving, creative, cooperative, harmonious. What can you say better than that?

For example, you are thinking about your husband. "He is this, he is this. I hate him." Well, sit down and change it. "He is beautiful, he is healthy, he does not smoke, he does not drink, he is not in prostitution. I love him." What are you doing? You are changing the direction of your car. Instead of brooding, increasing the vipers in your mind, you start thinking about beautiful things for your wife or husband, for your children, for everybody. When your thoughts are dirty your emotions are dirty and your actions are dirty. There is no cooperation; there is no health and happiness within you.
