Sadhguru explains that the mind is an amazing power. This mind gives happiness and this mind can also create sadness, anger, jealousy and restlessness. The problem is not why the mind is creating negative emotions, the problem is that we are not able to control our own mind.
They say that the fear, anger or jealousy we feel throughout the day do not come from outside us, but originate within us. According to Sadhguru, you do not need to run away from these emotions.
There is no need to erase them either. You just have to understand whether the mind is under your control or not. When a person keeps pressing the wrong buttons of his own mind, life becomes a mess. Therefore, the first step to know life is to understand the nature of your mind and give it direction.
Don’t change your mind, understand it.
Sadhguru explains that just like pressing the right button in a computer gives the right result. Similarly, if the mind moves in the right direction, it can create happiness, peace, energy and positivity.
But we do not understand the mind and keep pressing the wrong buttons. Anger, fear, stress, all these are part of the mind process. Instead of trying to remove them, we have to learn how not to allow them to arise in the mind.
Sadhguru says that you have to awaken within yourself the ability to know when gives rise to which emotion. If you want, this very mind can create ecstasy. If you want, this can become a source of peace of mind. This requires spiritual practice, meditation and inner awareness.
Self control is the path to happiness and virtues
Sadhguru explains that the right experiences in life come only when we take command of our body, mind and energy. If we leave the mind in ignorance, it will keep increasing the suffering but if we understand when to press which button, then the same mind can become an ocean of joy and peace.
Sadhguru says that unless you take the right steps within, you will not get the right results in life. Everything is within you, you just need to know and control it.
