Description

Acharya Prashant explains that one does not need a solution for existing mental patterns or thought cycles. By focusing on what to do with the mind, one only provides the pattern with more energy and respect, which continues the cycle. Instead, he suggests involving oneself with something so humongous and important that petty thoughts find no space to exist. He emphasizes that the mind cannot be kept empty; it requires pure and solid content. One must find something worth living and dying for to crowd out nonsense and random memories.
