Conquest of Mind by Eknath Easwaran (Heroic Wisdom Daily)

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to Heroic Wisdom Daily. Today's book Conquest of Mind by Eknath Eshwaran. A powerful guide to spiritual and psychological freedom through the discipline training of the mind. Check out the notes. Here's your one minute summary. You are not your thoughts. Your mind is a tool, not your identity. You can observe and direct it with practice. Change begins with attention. Where your attention goes, energy flows. Mastery starts by choosing what you focus on. Meditation is mental training. Just like the body needs exercise, the mind needs daily discipline to become calm, strong and clear. Emotions can be transformed. Anger, fear and craving lose their grip when you face them with awareness and steady practice. Life becomes your training ground. Every challenge, delay and irritation becomes an opportunity to grow in patience, love and clarity. Freedom isn't found by controlling life. It's found by mastering your mind. So how will you train your attention today? Again, check out the notes. And we've got a full collection of notes on Eknath Eshwaron's great books. One of my all time favorite teachers. Hope you enjoy.
