Command the mind, regulate your conduct, and keep your heart straight and clear, then you will get the grace of God

Cultivation of good thoughts is good conduct (dharma). When we protect dharma, dharma will protect us in turn (Dharmo rakshati rakshitaha). If you hurt dharma, you will be hurt in return! When our own mind generates good thoughts, it protects us. Our own mind can harm us as well. How? It harms us through its bad thoughts! Hence, our mind is responsible for all our difficulties, troubles, and miseries. So, keep your mind pure and free from bad thoughts. The moment a thought arises in your mind, use your discrimination to know: is it good or bad? When you begin such analysis, the speed of your thoughts will decrease. If on the other hand, you immediately act as per your thoughts, their speed will increase. Therefore, take the time to control the thought process through thorough enquiry. First enquire, then act. Start early, drive slowly, reach safely. If you slow down your thoughts, you will definitely arrive safely!
