In this episode, I speak with Syama about the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita. In this chapter, Krishna explains to Arjuna about rigorous meditation practice. Arjuna doubts that he will be able to engage in such meditation and says that the mind is more difficult to control than the wind. Krishna agrees that it's difficult but says it's possible with detachment and practice. The trick is to contemplate the folly of shallowness until you reach a sense of detachment from meaningless entertainment. Then use this temporary sense of detachment as a springboard to launch you into a session of meditation practice. In the beginning, it's important to take leisurely breaks from the rigorous practices but in a way that is consistent with the purpose of your practice.
