Bhagwat Gita: Chapter 6 - Training the Restless Mind (Online Discussion)

A reflective discussion on meditation, discipline, and the challenge of mastering the mind in a distracted world.

Have you ever tried to sit quietly, only to find your mind racing louder than ever? Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 confronts one of the most relatable human struggles — the restless mind. It asks whether inner stability is even possible, and what real discipline looks like beyond motivational quotes and surface-level calm.
