Burn Up Negative Thoughts
We are endowed with the ability to control our senses from unwanted stimuli. For instance, our eyelids give us the ability to avoid looking at sights we do not wish to see. However, since our minds are always active, there is no way to protect ourselves from unwelcome thoughts. Thankfully, the Torah advises us to quickly and effectively purge every negative thought with the fire of the Torah and the Mitzvos.
Lesson: Just as HaShem gives us an inherent way to master over our senses, He provides us with the holy Torah to instantly purify every unfavorable thought.
App: View negative thoughts as kindling wood. Quickly grasp it and burn it up in the red-hot fire of Torah -- and purify your thoughts.
