The Bhagavad Gita imparts age-old wisdom about calming a turbulent mind. Contemporary mentors such as Sadhguru and Sister Shivani provide fresh interpretations of these teachings. They warn that a mind without guidance can become a formidable adversary. Engaging in action, rather than being consumed by thoughts, is advocated as a strategy for achieving tranquility. Detachment from mental chaos, rather than life itself, leads to true inner peace.
