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 can test this anywhere: go somewhere and throw some trash on the ground. Just some tissues or paper napkins.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.
