E16: When the Mind Becomes Disturbed

Oct 14, 2024
The mind can mirror the ocean, calm one moment and disturbed the next. Instead of trying to control the chaos, listeners are encouraged to observe their thoughts without judgment. This introspective approach nurtures inner peace and fosters spiritual growth. By letting go of the urge to struggle, individuals can allow mental energies to settle on their own, leading to deeper understanding and compassion for oneself.
