You're Strengthening the Wrong Thing || Acharya Prashant, at IIT Guwahati (2026) 📋Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:13 - Can Yoga Strengthen the Mind? 05:41 - When Practice Becomes Escape 11:12 - Why We Need Labels? 13:19 - Can Experience Be Trusted? 19:00 - Facts are the door to Truth Context:- We wake up early, roll out the mat, follow the routine faithfully, and somewhere along the way start to feel like we are doing the right thing. The practice feels productive, even virtuous. But have we ever stopped to ask what exactly is being served by all this effort? Is the restlessness actually going anywhere, or is it just being managed? In this video, Acharya Prashant takes up the question of strengthening the mind and what spiritual practice is actually for. He addresses the relationship between the mind and the self-centered "I" at its core, why popular practices so often leave the fundamental problem untouched, the difference between the mind and the one who runs it, why inner experience cannot be trusted as a reliable guide, and what it would mean to apply the same rigor to our inner lives that we apply to mathematics or science. This conversation quietly unsettles some of the most comfortable assumptions we carry into every practice we take up. Key Points: Mind, self-interest, and the real problem Inner experience: reliable guide or convenient liar? Inner rigor: facts vs. approximations ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFwe... Music Credits: Milind Date ~ ~
