There are no subtractions and divisions in our mind.

There is only addition and multiplication.

I will just remove negative thoughts and I will have positive thoughts.

All the best, it's not going to work.

It's just that you need to pay little attention as to how it functions.

You will see there is a distinction between what is you and what you have gathered.

Well, see the way the question is asked and also the way normally it's addressed is

people think there is something called as negative thought and positive thought

they want to remove the negative thoughts and have only positive thoughts.

For such people I would ask them to just experiment for ten, fifteen seconds.

Let them forcefully remove one thought from their mind.

For example, next ten seconds just don't think of a monkey.

Try not to think of a monkey for next ten seconds.

You will see you will be full of monkeys.

So what I'm saying is this is the nature of your mind because in this mind all the three petals are throttled.

There is no break, there is no clutch, whatever you touch it will only go faster.

In this kind of mind people have been thought from moral teachers and religious teachers.

Do not think about bad things.

Well since then it's been a full-time job.

So there is no way you can handle the mind like this.

This doesn't need any great enlightenment.

If you spend two minutes with your eyes closed you will realize you cannot do anything forcefully with this mind.
