What is the purpose of thought and the mind?

Keep in mind ever the importance of thought—the power it has to contribute or to take away.

Thought is the background and basis of all action. That is why the physical mind needs to be strictly looked after.

But carry this on to a further stage—that of creating the garment of the soul, which it does in a literal sense and figurative sense.

You must try to visualise thought as something quite definite, not as an intellectual quality only.

Thought has form and colour and individuality, so much so, that once the physical body is discarded, it is for the want of a better word materialised into the next body in which the spirit carries on its evolution.

There you see what an important part thought plays.
