They
live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in
them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense
craving tormenting the heart.
-Bhagavad Gita
The Gita's hypothesis is that it is possible, by
mastering the thinking process, to leave behind unwanted
habits and negative thoughts. To accomplish this, the Gita
outlines a daily course of training in which we acquire
conscious control of our attention, strengthening our will
at such a deep level of the unconscious that no compulsive
desire or addiction can sweep us away. What is the predicted
result? When your will is linked to your intellect at the
very depths of your personality, you discover yourself as
you really are - secure, wise, compassionate, and
intimately connected with all of life.
