Mind-practice and ....

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

Very effective story. Bhagavan himself agreed with

Arjuna-'..without doubt, control of mind is really

hard and difficult and even almost impossible. But one

can do it by - " .....abhyasenahi kaunteya vairaghyena

cha grihyati "

 

The key is practice with detachment.

 

Thanks Seemaji for the story.

 

Regards

 

Balagopal
