Make Your Home a Heaven
After Kantidada spoke about health issues, Gautam Baiji gave satsang:
Kantidada reminds us that if we allow our bodies to collect bad things through what we eat, what happens?
The diseases start coming, like cancer.
The same thing with our mind when we start collecting negative things.
Those things don't bring us happiness! Why do we collect them?
Good things keep on giving. Bad things pollute.
Worries are a good example. They do nothing for us except bring us misery, yet we hold onto them.
'I don't know what will happen in this country!' Forget the country, and just do good in your own home. Make your home like a heaven and everything will change.

Garbage Attracts More Garbage
From a Gautam Baiji satsang:
"When the positive thoughts come into your mind, respect them.
When the negative thoughts come into your mind, don't keep them for long. Don't give them space.
Because once we give bad thoughts space, then other people will start dumping bad things there as well.

You will see, after one hour, everyone will start throwing more trash there.
Why? Because people follow what others do, and what they see.
Someone in India bought the vacant lot next to their house. It didn't look nice for a long time, so neighbors threw their trash there. After a year the pile of garbage was almost as high as the house?
So what did they do to stop everyone from dumping garbage there?
They built a small temple, only about a foot tall, and placed it there.
People saw it and had reverence, and they stopped leaving garbage."
Aspire to purity.
