What is thought and why does it happen to us? Does this question seem absurd to you? It is because we as an organic species endowed with higher intellectual capabilities than the other animal forms believe with such constitution that to think is a natural state of the human mind. This is so engrained in our system of life, which is enunciated by the aphorism ‘I think, therefore I am.’ The truth cannot be farther than this deception.
Thoughts are in a sense, the channeling of the mental energy into concepts that can be understood within the logic that we were taught, and the frame of reference we live in. In simple terms, this frame of reference is nothing but what society dictates. Everything we see, hear and feel are unknowingly or unconsciously analyzed by our mental faculties according to the benchmark set and governed by the society that we inhabit, or that which inhabits us. All rights and wrongs, good and evil concepts are engineered as per the majority ruling, and any exception to this is generally labeled as heresy, because society uses the disguise of misconstrued scriptural knowledge. So unless we are aware these concepts would lead to a constant barrage of thoughts that pass over the substratum of life, the same way as a movie runs non-stop on a silver screen. Thoughts are something external to our being, for the elimination of thoughts does not lead to our disappearance as an entity, which is clearly proved by meditation. But the moment it ceases to be, the enactment of falsities ceases to be on the life substratum and only the light of consciousness prevails.
