thoughts are really inert. they derive their power from the Atman. our thoughts are our own creation.we make them real by co-operating with them. if we withdraw our support, they dissolve. just observe the thoughts closely, but don't label them. then you will see them gradually going away.mind has been accumulating thoughts and desires for ages, through different bodies to which we take birth. all these emotions are buried deep within.when you try to make the mind still through meditation,thoughts slowly come to the surface.it's like cleaning a floor or mirror, wherein dirt is collected over a period of time. keep cleaning the thoughts as the accumulate every day' gradually they will disappear. in fact i would say even if they come up , once you see them it is easy to remove them. but here patience is very much essential. be persistent and keep performing sadhana. in due course one can gain strength to surpass them. anyway what is mind? it's just a collection of thoughts. nobody can locate the mind.so in meditation we are just witnessing thoughts without identifying them.
