They are tools of execution. And one should not allow them to exist in oneself if one does not want them to do their work of destruction The Mother(Mirra) From every point of view it is bad to concentrate on what one doesn't want, on what one wants to reject, what one refuses to be, for the very fact that the thought is there give to things a right of existence within oneself The Mother(Mirra) Concentrate exclusively on what you want to be, forget as entirely as possible what you don't want to be The Mother(Mirra) Thought is an outcome, the result of a result; it is the result of memory J Krishnamurthi Memory is thought, and thought is the verbalization of memory J Krishnamurthi Thought can only deny or assert, it can never search out the new J Krishnamurthi
