Episode 85--Taming the Mind: One Thought at a Time

Do you ever sit down to focus—only to find your mind racing in a hundred different directions? In this episode, we explore Krishna’s timeless advice from Bhagavad Gita 6.26 on how to deal with the flickering, restless nature of the mind. Instead of blaming ourselves for drifting, Krishna teaches us to gently return the mind—again and again—under the guidance of the self. This isn’t failure; it’s the practice. We’ll talk about how our daily distractions form deep impressions, how consistent redirection can reshape our inner world, and why spiritual growth often begins with becoming conscious of our own consciousness. Whether you’re meditating, working, or just trying to stay present with your loved ones, this conversation will give you practical tools and reflections to start training the mind—one gentle return at a time.
