2.33. VITARKA-BADHANE-PRATIPAKSA-BHAVANAM
When negative or harmful thoughts disturb the mind, they can be overcome by constant pondering over their opposites.
Commentary by Swami Vishnudevananda:
The yogi is ever alert, witnessing the thoughts of their mind. When the yogi witnesses a negative or harmful thought wave arising, they immediately replace the negative thought with a positive thought, thus creating new mental habits that are conducive to spiritual growth. Negative thoughts attract more a negative life. Positive thoughts attract more a positive life.
From the book Meditation and Mantras by Swami Vishnudevananda
