In this episode, Gautamji explains Krishna’s comparison of the controlled mind to the steady flame of a lamp in a windless place. He discusses how desires and attachments disturb the mind, while spiritual practice gradually brings it to rest and turns our search for happiness within. Ultimately, the seeker discovers the supreme and permanent bliss of the Self, beyond the changing experiences of the senses. More about the podcast:
