Chapter 6, v. 1-4
Meditation begins long before we sit to practice. This episode explores how a steady, peaceful mind is cultivated through right action, self-discipline, and the release of ego-driven desires. Drawing from the opening teachings on meditation, we see how daily living and spiritual practice work together—quieting the mind and opening awareness to inner stillness, insight, and lasting freedom.
