The Tyranny of Habitual Thought

“At times people are ready to recognize the power of thought, but they do not apply this recognition to themselves. They dream about great thoughts but will not put the small ones in order. They will ask how to set thought into motion.

One has to start by disciplining the smallest thoughts; only when that is done can one create a thought that moves mountains.

By following this advice about putting small thoughts in order, one begins to bring health to the heart. Do not rely on an assortment of outer pranayamas. The path of Agni Yoga is through the heart, but one must help the heart by putting thoughts in order.”

(Heart, 495)
