how can taboo filled thoughts be destroyed from the mind?

Simply by not identifying them as a taboo. The more you think "OMG OMG THATS BAD" whenever you have such a thought your mind will be more interested in it!

My lecturer did a little experiment: He said - OK, whatever you do.. do NOT think of a pink elephant! Afterwards, many people put their hands up admitting to thinking about it (obviously the rest were just lying lol)

In a real life situation, saying "DONT PANIC" doesn't really help - actually causes panic to those who were calm before!

That's why when developing communication skills, we are told not to say "Dont do this" but say "do this instead". Instead of "DONT PANIC" say "RELAX"

OK, going off-topic slightly, my point is, the more you Highlight the isue as being bad like HAI HAI WHY AM I DOING THIS- being human you'll tend to do it more often..

So, stop labelling them as "taboo" or "bad" but as a natural phenomenon and fight them off 1 by 1.

EG: Kaam - See it as a natural thing caused by your hormones, and fight it by addressing the issue; Understand how it works; Wht triggers it etc. Quite simple if you put your mind to it

it works

You might not find a much better answer than the topic that is posted in the inspiration section called Power of Thoughts.

it's a 60 page pdf.... so if you are serious in your quest to rid yourself of low and taboo thoughts, then you'll give it a read!

Yea...... but from experience seems like it takes a very long time, no?

Baani/heartfelt ardas/Naam simran. Scrub your mind with something more powerful than your own Mat.

Naam simran. Works wonders.

Surely Naam Simran etc is much more long term.. surely identifying everyhting logically helps with bhagti and naam simran - because then u can realise that all is under Akaal's Hukam

That way, if u do things step by step u can see the progress as well

Perhaps you'd like to share the answers to the above questions (how it works/the triggers), it might help the poster by hearing how you've been successful.

Perhaps it is long term, but that doesn't make it any less powerful. We could die any minute, but that's no reason to disregard the long term solutions.

(I'm not trying to twist your words, these are just ideas. If your method has worked for you/been proven to cleanse, then I'm sure it must be excellent.)

Sorry for trying to help.
