His Holiness identified the core challenge facing today’s youth with remarkable clarity: “हमारी क्या कठिनाई हम सीधा मन को काबू करना चाहते हैं पर मन को काबू करने से पहले तन को नियंत्रित करना सीखें और उसके लिए आसन प्राणायाम है” (Our difficulty is that we directly want to control the mind, but before controlling the mind, learn to control the body, and for that, there are asanas and pranayama).
We try meditation apps, mindfulness techniques, and mental exercises, wondering why our minds still race. His Holiness explained this is like a king trying to attack the center of a kingdom without securing the surrounding areas first. The mind needs electricity – like a fan needs power to move – and that electricity comes from a prepared body and controlled speech.
