In this episode, Gautamji clarifies the subtle difference between attachment and desire, showing how one thin stream of thought binds us to an object before it matures into desire and fear of loss. He explains how self-control leads to peace of mind, and how peace in turn makes the intellect sharp and effective. He concludes with verse 66, highlighting that without steadiness of mind there can be no knowledge, no focus, no peace—and without peace, no real happiness.
