Flowers and Thorns
English book, p. 88
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
in this world. In the next world, in the life after death, he will be allowed to live in a garden of flowers—Paradise. The human mind has two primary compartments—the conscious and the unconscious. Whenever a thought enters our mind, it first enters the conscious mind. After that, it gradually advances and enters the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is that part of the mind where every thought is preserved forever, although it is not in our conscious control. If you want to have a flower-like personality, at the very moment when a negative thought enters your conscious mind, you should activate your thinking process and convert it into a positive thought so that this item is stored in the storehouse of the unconscious mind as a positive, not a negative, item. For example, if a hate-filled thought enters your mind, you should diffuse it and convert it into a loving thought. If a vengeful thought enters your conscious mind, you should convert it into a thought of gratitude. If a thought that enters our mind provokes our ego and makes us feel proud, we should change it into a thought that engenders humility. If you entertain a selfish thought, you should convert it into a thought of selflessness. And so on. The mind of a person who builds his personality in this way will be a treasury of positivity. Such a person will be free of negativity. Only such a positive personality will find a place in the eternal world after death in Paradise, where they will forever lead a life of comfort and joy.
