Developing one’s thought

Sweet Mother,

You have said that I do not think well. How can one develop one’s thought?

You must read with much attention and concentration, not novels or dramas, but books that make you think. You must meditate on what you have read, reflect on a thought until you have understood it. Talk little, remain quiet and concentrated, and speak only when it is indispensable.
