Part 2/9:
Sadhguru challenges the common notion that one can simply "remove" negative thoughts to acquire positive ones. He points out that attempting to forcefully eliminate a thought from one's mind often results in an obsession with that very thought. For example, he offers a playful experiment: “Try not to think of a monkey for ten seconds.” The inevitable result is a flood of monkey-related thoughts, illustrating the mind's propensity to multiply rather than diminish.
