Master Your Mind with this Technique | Miracle of Mind | Sadhguru Exclusive

Summary

Sadhguru describes the mind as a “mirror” through which we perceive the world. Shaped by our senses, identifications, and prejudices, this mirror does not necessarily show things as they are. The aim, he says, is not to destroy the mind, but to develop enough mastery to move beyond its constant stream of thoughts and emotions and experience life more directly.

Mental Exercise

Sadhguru offers an exercise to build focus and vividness of imagination:

1. Look at a person in different positions and mentally divide their shape into triangles.
2. Gradually try to see more, smaller triangles, filling in the form as precisely as possible.
3. Practise with other objects, such as a vessel: imagine dividing its shape into many geometric parts, then putting it back together.

He says not to expect instant results. The exercise is sustained mental training that can be practised in everyday settings.

Important Clarification

The exercise is not intended to help manifest desires, gain powers, or heal others. Sadhguru cautions against rushing toward such aims or using pills and other shortcuts. The practice is meant to cultivate inner mastery, not to manipulate the world. He also refers to an existing practice, apparently “Shambhavi,” as another way people may work toward this.
