DECIDING FROM WISDOM OR DECIDING FROM DEFILEMENT

See this content in the original post

We have to make decisions all the time. We need to practice how to decide; but first, we need to know what idea and attitude the mind holds when we decide.

It’s only when we decide with wisdom that the decision is right; otherwise, it’s defilement that decides and that leads to problems.

If there’s defilement, it is better not to decide then – wait, watch and learn. Let the mind calm down, and then reasonable thinking can come and we can decide with wisdom. That’s better.

Every day we have decisions to make – as we practice, slowly our decisions over time become wiser and wiser.
