Thought - must always be our initial response

11/19/2010

Light and thought should always come first and direct everything in all situations. Feelings, emotions and desires must come second. Suppose you have put feeling and desire in first place, before thought: you are going to give way to your impulses, to your preferences, without reasoning or reflecting. Well, that will devalue what you are doing, and you may even fail. That does not mean you should suppress feelings or desires; no, you would be depriving yourself of the immense riches that lie in matter, which thought must work on. But try to put thought first, so that you will always find the right way ahead, the right solutions and the right way to behave.
