Have you ever noticed that your thoughts pull you in opposite directions, yet none of them are your true identity?
Your Thoughts Do Not Control You is a satsang that reveals a liberating truth: thoughts, feelings, and instincts are movements of the mind, not the soul. Inspired by the wisdom of Pujya Gurudevshri, this satsang sheds light on why the mind swings like a pendulum between passion and hatred, indulgence and renunciation, and how the mistake of mistaking these mental swings for 'dharma' keeps us bound.
Through clear understanding and practical examples, we will reflect on the difference between mental tendencies and true Dharma, the subtle bonds of attachment and hatred, and the power of our natural state of 'non-attachment'. This Satsang introduces inner tools such as witnessing, right view, and conscious self-improvement to rise above habitual reactions without fighting or suppressing the mind.
Rather than changing the external world, this satsang invites a profound transformation in life: shifting the focus of life away from objects, roles, and tendencies and focusing it on the unchanging 'soul'. When this focus shifts, karma becomes lighter, the grip of fear loosens, and life becomes more free and effortless.
Join us to learn how to live fully, free from the control of thoughts through clarity, true understanding, and non-attachment.
