Answer

Dear Ruchit,

First of all, your thoughts are not your personal creations. Thoughts simply “are,” and different people often tune into the same thought at the same time, especially if they happen to be in the same location.

If you think that other people are picking up “your” thoughts, that would be a wonderful incentive to be extra careful about what you think. Keep your mind focused and strive to have only good, constructive thoughts. Then you will be happier and you’ll have a beneficial influence on others.

Blessings,

Gyandev
