Reduce desires to make your will power
strong
One should have good thoughts. Desires originate from thoughts. These desires chain and bind. One’s will power ( ) also emerges from thoughts. This will power is very important, like the life principle of humanity. All other powers like power of intellect, of understanding, of determination, of speech, etc., come out of it. This will power is like the king of all other powers. It will lead one to the sacred path if one makes proper use of it. On the contrary, if one makes improper use of will power, one will become wicked. Will power affects the thoughts, and thoughts influence will power. Bad thoughts make will power weak. Decline in will power makes the desires stronger and stronger. Here is a small example. Suppose a man has the habit of drinking too much coffee or tea, smoking cigarettes, etc. His bad habits will certainly weaken his will power. If he has 20 such bad habits, and if he gives up one habit after another, his will power will become stronger and stronger. If you give up coffee or tea, the power of your intellect will increase.
