🔲 Piety in thinking means being careful that your mind does not wander just anywhere.
🔲 If a sin or negative thought comes to your mind, ask for God’s forgiveness.
👉🏼 #ControllingMyMind (10)
➖Instead of talking about “controlling our mind,” some people use the terms “meditation” or “the power to focus.” We say this is “the power to be watchful” or “inner piety.” This means being careful that your mind does not wander just anywhere.
➖Ayatollah Haqshenas used to say, “Being #watchful of ourselves means being aware of the fact that we are in the presence of the One Who knows even our #thoughts and #imaginings. When we think of a sin, we are in the presence of God. If a sin or a negative thought comes to our mind, we should ask God for forgiveness.”
➖Someone asked, “O son of the Prophet, what is the meaning of the verse, ‘God knows what is in everyone's heart’?” [3:119] The Imam replied, “It means that God is aware of the thoughts and imaginings that come to your mind.”
➖Imam Sadiq (as) said, “If a believer thinks of a sin, his sustenance will be reduced.” [Mahasin, vol. 1, p. 116]. You may ask, “Why? He has not done anything yet!" Well, mental activity is actually a kind of action. Of course, it’s an internal action.
➖The human being’s mind is very honorable to God. If a sin or a negative thought comes to your mind, quickly stop it and tell your mind, "Where are you going?!" Then ask for forgiveness.
➖Ayatollah Haqshenas said, "These imaginings of the mind and heart must be removed from a person’s mind and heart by paying attention to God. For your heart to become luminous and the place of God, you must watch over yourself to such an extent that these imaginings be completely eliminated.”
➖The Lord of the worlds has said, “If you do not devote yourself to Me when worshiping, I will make your mind and heart busy with other things." [Kafi, vol. 2, p. 83] Whoever’s heart and mind has become extremely busy should ask for God’s forgiveness very much.
