How Can the Mind Be Quiet? - 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.

Sadhguru explains that all activity right now comes from either the body or mind. If we can distance ourselves from these two things, realization is not far away.

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.
