And also to write down those other thoughts. If there is a nature of laxity and it has taken root in us, then to that, since we also get thoughts of that, to write them down as well. After writing, keep matching them. If someone else matches them, it doesn't feel good. If we match them ourselves, it gives great happiness. Because of that, yes, it gives great happiness. If one's own nature matches, then whoever has matched it has experienced much. We don't know much about it. So, it is said that when it matches, it gives great happiness. If one matches with oneself, it gives great happiness. If someone else matches, a clash occurs. There is a clash with nature. So, a clash occurs. We want to wind it up and turn it, but it clashes, it gets crooked and says, "Now I won't turn." So, such a clash occurs. So Maharaj says, of one's own nature, if corresponding thoughts arise, then to pay attention to them. And to write them down. Even if one comes to hand in 10-15 days, it's fine. Actually, writing daily is recommended, writing Bhagwan's name is recommended. To write down the thoughts of one's own nature that arise, and then to write down those thoughts of Bhagwan that do not arise, in order to make them happen. To make them happen with effort.

This is of the kind Maharaj described in Vachanamrut 35." So, if Bhagwan or other sadhus bend it, then that day it will not be pleasant for me, so let us start bending it from now on. Then there will be no problem. And to make those other thoughts happen which do not arise. Those are to be made by the great ones. So, if we start doing them from childhood, then we will grow great.
