Question: Guru, I was wondering if you could explain what thought actually is.

Sri Chinmoy: If it is a divine thought, then it is a consciousness that is progressing, like a river that is flowing towards the sea. If it is an undivine thought, then you have to feel that inside the mind there are quite a few flies or insects buzzing and biting, and this thought is one of them.
