Swami Sarvapriyananda, of the Vedanta Society of New York,* presents invaluable guidance on improving our meditation in this video, and leads a guided meditation inspired by the following verses:
“The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult to control than the wind.” – Bhagavad Gita (6.34)
“Lord Krishna said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, what you say is correct; the mind is indeed very difficult to restrain. But by practice and detachment, it can be controlled.” – Bhagavad Gita (6.35)
*Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta is one of the world’s broadest and most ancient philosophies. Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
