353 A Clear Mind

“A Clear Mind”

The mind responds to all phenomena.
When we are ridiculed or attacked,
The mind surges and is uncontrollable.
When we are treated with kindness and compassion,
The mind eases and remains calm.

Always pay attention to your mind,
Know what state it is in.
If your mind is surging, practice mindfulness to calm it.

Jesus said, “Love your enemies.”
Hatred can only lead to hatred.
Hate the sin but not the sinner, this is the truth.
Do not let the feeling of hatred take hold in your heart.
Let no one defile your heart,
Only you can protect it.
Do not allow demons to dwell in your heart,
Where the light of the divine resides.

Living is a discipline and at times we must face a storm.
It will be difficult to keep your mind calm,
But in those times, don’t let your emotions control you.
Control your mind.

The reclaimed mind
Is pure, beautiful, and clear.
