Raising up your mind |
What is patience? It means to be in the habit to raise your mind through meditation and right thought. When your mind is imbued with good thoughts to such an extent, that negativity cannot take hold of your mind anymore. This is what the ancients called adhivâsana-khanti, which could be translated as 'the patience of raising up your mind'.
Sure, it is about positive thinking, but it is also about confronting yourself with reality, being realistic to yourself. Khun Yai Ajan used to say that we have to plant some blessings in our mind on a regular basis. I think the meaning is the same here.
