Thomas’s Quotes

“Every thought has a propellant, and that propellant is emotional.”

“Let me see if I have this right. During meditation, you can begin to see that… whereas you might have thought all your life that you’re thinking thoughts—the thing you think of as ‘you’ is thinking thoughts—it’s closer to being the case that the thoughts try to capture you, the thing you think of as ‘you.’ ” “Right.”

“When we have that basis of wisdom about the nature of thought, then we have more power to choose, okay, which thoughts are healthy… which thoughts are not so healthy—those we can let go.”

“Knowledge can be borrowed, but you can’t borrow understanding. Once you reach a conclusion derived from your thinking, it is called a realisation. And once you realise something, your perception changes about it once and for all. And that perception remains locked down until another realisation impacts it—that’s the process of learning and growing.”
― Shwetabh Gangwar, The Rudest Book Ever
