Divinity is reached by the absence of thought in one's mind. Is that the only way, or is it possible to realize Divinity from a "balance" in thought? Then what exactly does this "balance" mean?
I think it means acceptance of what happens around us, and taking it at face value. Usually in our minds, one thought triggers another, which triggers a second one and so on. If we observe carefully, our thought processes are more or less like a network, one leading to another and another, sometimes back to where we started from and is sometimes a complete mess. The more such triggering, the more chaos and worrisome our mind gets. The lesser this chain reaction of thoughts, the more peaceful and happy it is.
The idea is to make this network of thoughts simpler and simpler and less deeper as we progress in our life. This is what I believe is "balancing" of thoughts.
"Balancing" thoughts will slowly lead to times when there is a momentary absence of thought, and that is when we feel peace. And the more often we experience this so called peace, the more closer we are towards Divinity.
Conclusion: When you are thinking too much, stop! And Act. There is no better way to stop your thoughts than acting. After all what is Love? Isn't it action where necessary without thought? It is not a feeling or emotion which basically starts from a thought.

Well, act...thats correct..but not in favor of the thoughts you are having. You have to analyze if you need to allow these thoughts. Try to play devil's advocate to the devilish mind. Beat the mind in its own game by contradicting the flow of unceasing thoughts in the mind. The more you feed in favor of the thoughts, the more you loose. The more you ignore i.e, contradict, you win....my two cents....
Keep blogging vish
Absolutely! To make my idea clearer, our mind reacts to thoughts by triggering more thoughts. And this is precisely what should stop. If at all we have to think, let our thoughts be positive and enriching. The best way to cut down negative thoughts from creating a chain reaction in our mind is by stopping IMMEDIATELY and ACTING on a POSITIVE thought. Sometimes, reasoning the situation using logic may not be the best solution because our mind at such times so volatile that even the slightest negative thought can creep in like water into a small hole in a boat. Blindly acting on positive thought along with a lot of faith
is probably the best bet.
