Chita Vs Chinta

Chita and Chinta are words of Indian Origin.

Chita refers to the fire pyre used by Hindu religion people to cremate the dead. Made of wood and hay, there are meant to catch fire immediately and to keep burning till the dead body has completely been cremated.

Chinta refers to the thought process of a person. Our mind is always on constant battle within. There will always be a good side which says you to move in one direction and a bad side which asks you to move in the opposite. Chinta starts with you rising in the morning and ends when you go to sleep.  Your thought can be of anything under the sun (or may be even over the sun). There is a saying that only day dreamers are the ones who become successful but those dreams or thoughts should be positive and creative. So what should be pondered on is the question. Bad and worry thoughts are also common in Chinta. Grudge on person, how to bring him down the next time etc are the common negative thoughts. The problem or advantage of Chinta is that the next time you think about them, its going to be of a greater intensity. Thoughts of worry can be compared with an iron plate which is exposed to rusting. The more it is exposed, the faster it disintegrates.

There is a close comparison between Chita and Chinta in Indian sayings.

Chita can get you only once in the fire pyre but Chintha keeps burning you over and over. 

So, think of things which are creative and inspiring.
