Back to the sphere of thoughts, I often mull over the topic, sometimes while driving around.

There is, I believe, a hierarchy of spheres of thought.

The higher level is made up of the vast spheres of thought of basic ideas which encompass the great dualities and myriads of sub-spheres within them. For example, the spheres of peace and war, of good and evil, of health and sickness.

All these dualities are created by God, so we might think that no matter which sphere we choose to tune into, that's the same since their original source is God.

Well, that's wrong, as Anandamoy is ready to underline. Every sphere has a guna quality that influences our spiritual evolution. In God's plans, we must choose the higher, spiritual, sattvic spheres, and abandon the tamasic ones, the ones related to evil, war, greed, sense indulgence and so on.

The wrong choice, that is, choosing the wrong sphere of thought, will bind us in matter, and vice versa.
