Conquest of Mind by Eknath Easwaran (Heroic Wisdom Daily)

💡Your mind makes a terrible master—but a powerful servant.

Today’s book: Conquest of Mind by Eknath Easwaran—a powerful guide to spiritual and psychological freedom through the disciplined training of the mind.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

You are not your thoughts. Your mind is a tool—not your identity. You can observe and direct it with practice.

Change begins with attention. Where your attention goes, energy flows. Mastery starts by choosing what you focus on.

Meditation is mental training. Just like the body needs exercise, the mind needs daily discipline to become calm, strong, and clear.

Emotions can be transformed. Anger, fear, and craving lose their grip when you face them with awareness and steady practice.

Life becomes your training ground. Every challenge, delay, and irritation becomes an opportunity to grow in patience, love, and clarity.

Freedom isn’t found by controlling life—it’s found by mastering your mind. So, how will you train your attention today?
