It is only when you forget your true nature and identify yourself with the modes of the mind that the thoughts get the life and energy to disturb you. When you are not co-operative, when you stand in your position as the Witness, slowly and gradually, the thoughts will become weaker in strength and lesser in number. If you persist in your attitude of the witness, with the strength of detachment, all thoughts will die out for want of nourishment. Your identification with the thought is its nourishment.
