In this track, Swami Mukundananda explains to us how our habits condition our subconscious mind. The elephant that has the power to uproot a tree believes that it cannot free itself from the rope that it's gotten tied into by its trainer. This is because of the conditioning of its subconscious mind it got into as a baby, at which time it had less strength and failed to free itself from the shackles of the rope. Similarly, our past habits are also conditioning our subconscious mind on what we are capable of doing. To make progress in our lives and accomplish things we endeavor to do, we need to change our habits to get over the conditioning we have imposed on us, for which we need consistent practice.

In this track, Swami Mukundananda stresses the need for all of us to stop making excuses and instead take charge of our lives and goals. Human beings are the only ones in the 8.4 million species on planet earth that have the power of choice. However, the misutilization of this blessing can cripple our growth. One of the biggest hurdles for our growth is the habit of making excuses or suffering from loser's limp. We might at times feel we got handicapped due to some situation or things not going away, and because of that, we couldn't achieve our goals and grow in our life. However, as Humans, we have the power of choice and free will, and if instead of giving excuses we take charge of life, make the right choices and use our potential to the fullest extent, we can not only achieve our goals but can accomplish the ultimate purpose of life which is to grow spiritually and attain God Realization. ▶ Subscribe NOW to get Swamiji's daily inspirational video: https://bit.ly/2DUQmtt 💡 Register to Daily Sadhana Program: https://mydailysadhana.org/ Join Swami Mukundananda Mailing list: https://jkyog.org/subscribe-our-newsl...
