STUDENT: As our thoughts arise, how can we transform them into thoughts of God? BAWA MUHAIYADDEEN: Is that your question? If you don't keep your hands on the steering wheel when you are driving, the car will go its own way. Will you just let it go? Will you follow the direction the car goes? No, you will turn the steering wheel until the four wheels are straightened out, and then the car will run straight. After that, you will continue on your way, driving very cautiously. Like that, when your mind goes astray, you have to straighten it out. When your thoughts drag you off in some direction, you have to use your wisdom to steer them around. Once you turn your thoughts, you will not have any accidents. The Mechanic has installed the power steering correctly, but it is up to you to steer yourself in the right direction. You might find slopes on one side, stones on another side, and even jungle along the way. There might be many sharp curves in the road. But if you hold on to the steering wheel of wisdom, you can avoid accidents. Your eyes, your thoughts, your concentration, your mind—everything must be right. Then you can drive your vehicle.
