Bump, another light bulb moment, regarding where thoughts come from? There is individual antish karan surely but there is also collective antish karan for lack of better word- vayu mandal (field of awareness) thats why sadh sangat, naam simran, gurbani and positive thinking is encouraged all the time- to increase vibrations to deal with our own shortcoming/ also deal with thoughts and also vayu mandal - field of awareness- people we interact with whether its in the household, or outside world. At the end, never mind the thoughts- give it back to universe - keep going on the path of sikhi- naam simran, never be discouraged.
