Watch the Video, "How Can the Mind Be Quiet?" By Sadhguru

Sadhguru discusses the cause and effect of becoming identified with things we are not. He discloses that when one is identified with things they are not such as material possessions, family, education, etc., a quiet mind becomes an impossibility.

“What should I do to get enlightened?” a seeker asks Sadhguru. Enlightenment, he explains, is not an achievement, but a homecoming.

Don’t try to stop negative thoughts, says Sadhguru, as there is no such thing as a positive or negative thought.

Sadhguru answers a question on why the mind seems to have a mind of its own! He looks at how terms such as "no-mind" and "stop the mind" have been used over the years, and asks why one would want to stop the mind - the product of millions of years of evolution. The problem, he reminds us, is not the mind, but that the mind is "telling its own story." He describes how the powerful kriya, Shambhavi Mahamudra, is one big step towards changing this.
