Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Removing the mind will create the space that calms us

Sorrow in life and being unhappy are two different things. There is no sorrow that comes without happiness and there is no happiness that comes without sorrow. These two come together. The name of their understanding is their liberation. There is a word – space. It simply means create space. Keep a space in our feelings and thoughts. Thoughts come from outside, we are thinking. Then we attach our whole personality, being, to that idea. The sages have said that the mind does the work of sticking to the body and soul of a person and the more the body and soul clings to it, the more restless it is. Remove the mind a little, the soul came into the body and this is where we calmed down. And the mind does not fall only from the resolution, there is no medicine to control it. The mind operates through the breath. If you take pranayama very seriously every day, if you do it regularly, then you will get a grip on our mind. And whenever we remove the mind, that space will be created, which calms us.
