When evil thoughts enter the mind and evil desires enter the heart, then we should overcome them by ignoring them and not entertaining them. Let them pass by, but pay no attention to them. We should not invite these thoughts and lay out the dastarkhan (table) for them and amiably say: "O you wonderful thoughts, please remain in my heart for a long time because I am deriving much enjoyment from this visit of yours.”

It is natural that these thoughts and desires will come ... this is expected, but it is sinful to entertain them. At such times, we should immediately focus our attention to something permissible.
