Continues from How To Bring Eternal Happiness Into Your Life? Part 3, Tame Your Mind And Desire
But the question is how to tame this mind. In Bhagavadgītā, the Arjuna asks Śrī Kṛṣṇa, that he finds controlling mind even tougher than controlling air. Yes, of course controlling mind is tough.
In order to control mind you need to understand some basic things about how the mind functions. Our mind makes all decisions based on the inputs we feed into our system. It is just like if you put 1000 apples and 600 oranges before someone, there is more probability of him picking up an apple.
