Day 265 - Quieting the Inner Conflict

About

In this talk, we explore Guruji’s profound observation: “To cut down on the quantity of thoughts, eliminate at least opposing ones.” We have countless thoughts every day, but it is often the unnecessary, repetitive and contradictory thoughts that exhaust the mind. When the mind keeps arguing with itself, precious mental energy is lost. We look at this both from a practical standpoint and through the Vedāntic understanding of viparīta bhāvanā. This talk is the first of two interrelated talks. Having understood how to reduce the conflict within our thoughts, the next talk takes us deeper: “Don’t get lost in your thoughts. Let your thoughts get lost in you!” Hari aum!
