There are moments when the mind refuses to rest- when thoughts repeat themselves endlessly, questions multiply and even the simplest decisions begin to feel heavy. Overthinking is not just a habit; it is often a silent struggle that drains clarity, energy and peace. Long before modern psychology began to explore the restless mind, the Bhagavad Gita addressed this very condition through a conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Arjuna’s confusion, fear and mental chaos mirror what many experience today. Krishna’s words, however, do not offer quick fixes- they offer timeless clarity. These lessons, when understood deeply, do not just reduce overthinking; they transform the way the mind functions.
