How To Master Your Mind | Swami Revatikaanta
From Worst Enemy to Best FriendNavigating through life, changing locations and surroundings, altering appearances, or acquiring new possessions might create the illusion that external changes can bring everlasting happiness. Yet, we often overlook the one constant companion within us, present 24 hours a day, which doesn’t always have our best interests at heart: the mind.According to the Bhagavad Gita, when uncontrolled, the mind is our greatest enemy; when disciplined, it becomes our most powerful ally, capable of leading us to greatness in both the spiritual and material realms. Thus, the measure of someone’s spiritual progress is not solely how much they love God but also how well they have mastered their mind.Discover how you can become the master of your mind by Swami Revatikaanta.Watch Thinking Bhakti on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@SwamiRevatikaantaofficial
