In this episode, Gautamji explains Krishna’s instruction to withdraw the mind from worldly indulgence little by little, guided by a firm intellect. He emphasizes that spiritual growth does not require abandoning responsibilities, but gradually reducing mental dependence and redirecting our energy toward a higher purpose. He also explains why the restless mind must repeatedly be brought back under the control of the intellect and toward the Self.
