The thinking pattern of the untrained minds is unwittingly being conditioned by certain worldly social cultural or religious/spiritual thinking/belief/disbelief/ideas/values/practice, including the minds that think and believe that they are 'good minds' or 'good beings' with 'good ideas', 'good merits', 'good virtues', 'good belief', 'good conduct', 'good personality', or 'good characteristic', that identify themselves as 'good people' with 'good and righteous behavior' in the world, or the minds that think and believe that they are not 'good enough' and they aspire to be 'good enough' to be identified/recognized/acknowledged as 'good minds', 'good beings', or 'good people with good and righteous behavior'.
Not that 'being good' or 'doing good' or 'good behavior' is something bad or wrong, but the minds that are free from ignorance and egoism, are free from such identification/recognition/acknowledgement attached onto any quality of names and forms complying to certain worldly/social/cultural or religious/spiritual thinking/belief/disbelief/ideas/values/practice about what is good and bad, right and wrong, positive and negative, or meaningfulness and meaninglessness.
Those who sincerely want to transcend the modification of the mind, who are determined to free the mind from ignorance and all kinds of suffering that derived from ignorance, need to work diligently on changing the thinking pattern of the mind, freeing the mind from such conditioned thinking/belief/values/practice/identification.
Those who just want to do some yoga practice regularly to attain some impermanent physical and mental health and fitness benefits, as well as those who just want to be good and do good to accumulate good karma/virtues/merits as much as possible hoping to have a better next life 'transition/incarnation' or entering 'blissful heaven', they don't need to inquire into this basic yet important teaching and practice of yoga.
The untrained ignorant egoistic minds are like a 'sponge' that absorbs everything that is possible whether wittingly or unwittingly, while thinking and believing and identifying itself as 'the sponge that filled with whatever it absorbs/contains/holds', such like, 'I am a good sponge that absorbs/contains/holds all the good elements' or 'I am a bad sponge that absorbs/contains/holds all the bad elements'.
The selfless minds are free from such thinking/belief/identification.
Contemplate on this, and be free.
