Once bad thoughts are given up, you would have reached the destination. Give no scope for bad thoughts. See good in all. Everyone must love God. Do not waste your time by looking for God elsewhere; He is right within you, around you, behind you, above you, and below you. Is it ever possible to get away from such an Omnipresent God? God is everywhere but what you see of Him outside is just a reflection of the inner Divinity. That is why Swami often says: Art is outside, while heart is inside. God is in the heart. That also is why Vedanta [ancient Indian philosophy] advocates the development of inner vision.
