Summary

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.
